I have completed the game with the main characters, Niobe, Captain of the Logos and Ghost, Weapons Expert and crewmate. Here are the main plot points for anybody who is interested but doesn't want to spend the 10+ hours completing the game.
This is MOST of the stuff I can remember off the top of my head and it may not be EXACTLY chronological but really close and all the really juicy stuff is here so enjoy. I would love to hear your comments.
1. Ghost and Niobe picks up the package in the Matrix from the Osiris which contained the first information that the Machines were going to attack Zion, the package of photos and video are shown in the sewer meeting.
2. After the filmed sewer meeting in the film, there is a scene where agents break up the this meeting. Ghost and Niobe run through the sewers and end up at a dead end with an Agent coming toward them. The Keymaker opens a door and helps them escape. After the Keymaster explains who he is another door in the white hallway opens with two of the Merovingian's vampire henchman. They grab the "Source" key and close the door. They Keymaster opens another door and sends them to the great mansion shown in the film to retrieve the key.
3. Depending on the character you play with in the game, there is a cut scene where Niobe/Ghost has to kiss Persephone in order to find Ghost/Niobe (they are captured in that level depending on the character you play), similar to the scene with Neo and Persephone in the film. This part of the game also explores fighting with vampires, werewolves, and zombies, which was lightly mentioned in the film. Watching Persephone and Niobe KISS is worth the price of the game alone
2. In the film Ballard (Ray Jones Jr.) told Morpheus he would keep his ship in the Matrix broadcast just in case the Oracle was trying to contact them. In the game there is a filmed cut scene with Ballard meeting Seraph, they have a fight similar to the tea house scene in the film and he meets the Oracle to inform him that she wanted to speak to Neo.
4. After saving Niobe/Ghost they reach a subway to find the phone to get back to the Logos. Ghost answers the phone and returns to the Logos. Before Niobe picks up the phone a homeless man comes toward her repeating "72 Hours and Zion will Fall, That Was How It Happened Last Time", and then he disappears into the dark.
5. There is a scene with Ghost and Trinity, where the battle each other in a construct training program mirrored as a Japanese garden. There is a scene in the game where it is revealed that Ghost has been in love with Trinity since the beginning but knows (Oracle tells him) that she will always love you, but only as a brother and that is something he will have to face.
5. Niobe and Ghost return to Zion and there is a scene with Locke and how he deliberately removed the Logos from the planned defense. Niobe gets angry and then it cuts to the scene in the film where she volunteer's her service to find the Neb.
6. After saving Morpheus on the filmed Freeway scene and blowing up the power plant she runs into Seraph because the Oracle has a message for her. She fights Seraph and then talks to the new Oracle (Mary Alice). The Oracle explains to Niobe that the Merovingian was angry that she helped Neo find and retrieve the Keymaker so he stole her original body and this was her new form. She told Niobe that Neo found the Source but in essence it was the end. Neo's MIND AND BODY were seperated from the Matrix after he went out of the source meaning his MIND was still in the Matrix while his body was in the real world!
7. The final scene of the game is them returning to their ship. They are being chased by the destroyers but they managed to outrun the bomb that was shown in the film. The bomb still damaged their ship but not completely. They EMPed the rest of the destroyers and that was the end of the game.
The reason I ask is because it would be a plot hole if you SEE Mary Alice since the meeting with Ballard occurs BEFORE Neo meets with the Oracle(Gloria Foster) in Reloaded. Seeing Mary Alice after the meeting w/ Neo either in the game or the movies is ok. It would also be ok and not a plot hole if you just hear the voice of Mary Alice in the game in the scene w/ Ballard.
In the game I also heard there is a cutscene where Seraph first meets up with the Oracle and he says something like "I am forever in your debt". Do you SEE Mary Alice there or just her voice?
What I would like to know is did anyone else find the story to be a bit odd to be writen by the wackatoski bros.? By this i mean that it contradicts itself by who got the package, who ran away from Smith etc.
No, u can look at it either way. In one scenario, it could hav been Ghost. That's y we will never here about that in Revolutions. Its something that can help u understand how it could hav happened.
It doesn't really contradict itself. After Ballard got the message from the Oracle, he, Bane, and the other guy were most likely attacked by Agent Smith and got separated. Bane and the other guy took the message and then Bane gets infected after the other guy leaves.

Except that is not what was meant- they were talking about the ambiguity of whether Niobe or Ghost did those things, not anything to do with Bane or Ballard.

What stuff? If you're talking about the message from the Osiris, then Ghost/Nioee did it. If you're talking about the message from the Oracle, then Bane and Ballard did it.

__________________ I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I've realized that you are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague.
And we are... the cure.
Oh, sorry, didn't understand what you were saying.
