We had a chance to try out a demo of the upcoming Matrix game for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC at a press event in Los Angeles last night. The game is being developed by Shiny Entertainment and is slated for release this May in conjunction with the release of The Matrix Reloaded movie. While the game will obviously have ties to the upcoming film, it will feature an original story--developed in conjunction between Shiny and Larry and Andy Wachowski--that will intertwine with and expand on events and characters from the film. The game focuses on two characters, Niobe and Ghost. You select one character to play as from the start, and you'll see different levels or play different roles in the action depending on your selection. The demo we played, while still early, gave us a sample of the fighting, driving, and flying levels in the game.
