Enter the Matrix (PC)

At first hand, 'Enter the Matrix' (EtM) sounds like one of the more interesting film tie ins. Developed at the same time as the last two Matrix films, with input from the Wachowski brothers as well as other Matrix personnel, it should have shaped up to be something a bit special. Like my attempts at cooking, the result does not do justice to the ingredients used. The game takes place at the same time as Matrix Reloaded and just after the Animatrix story "Last Flight of the Osiris", but follows the crew of the hovercraft Logos instead of the main triumvirate. The story (scripted by the Wachowskis) starts with Niobe and Ghost attempting to ...  Read the complete review

INTRO or, TAKING THE RED PILL If you haven't seen, or at least heard of the 'Matrix,' you may as well stop reading this now. The video game tie-in to the 'Matrix: Reloaded' is, for all intents and purposes, merely a behind the scenes look at the world of the Matrix when Neo and the gang aren't around, and as such, won't really make any sense to anyone who isn't familiar with the franchise. That being said, I bought myself a copy of the 'Enter the Matrix' game for the old PS2 and woowee does it make me want to drink some Powerade. GAMEPLAY or, TUNING IN AND TURNING ON In 'Enter the Matrix,' you ...  Read the complete review

Enter the Matrix begins where 'Final Flight of the Osiris' (an Animatrix film) ends and joins up with Matrix Reloaded once into the game. You play as either Niobe or Ghost with your first task being to retrieve a package from a post office which as you'll expect isn't as simple as it sounds. The appeal of the game, at least to me, was the fight style combined with bullet time. Unfortunately the game does not pull off either particularly well. Whilst you can interact with your environment to pull off similar moves to those in the film the controls are poor as is the camera. The level design is shoddy, there are far too many areas of sheer ...  Read the complete review

Enter the Matrix was disapointing in a way, like it has a multiplayer but it sucks, you cant even use focus (go into slow motion), its kinda crap, you dont even pick your character, and you cant unlock it unless you hack... in the hacking area. I will give some codes out later in the review. The game is about Ghost and Niobe (the 2 main characters in this game), I would of thought it would be about Neo, but its not, shame though. Its their side of the story of the Matrix, and their travels in the Logos (their ship). There are loads of things you have to do, but they are short, you can complete with both characters seperatley, so like if you complete Ghost ...  Read the complete review

You can command two characters, Ghost and Niobe(the only real difference between them is one is male, one is female) and I was captivated in the first 15 minutes; if your a matrix fan, you will enjoy parts of it, because you can do quite a few moves(which look pretty slick) but you soon realise there isn't that many things you can do. The game uses something called 'Focus', which is slow mo. You only have a limited amount before it runs out, but you just have to stand still for a few seconds and it replenishes itself. same goes for your health, which means the game is pretty much a walkover if your careful. One of the big problems is, you ...  Read the complete review
