Enter the Matrix (PS2)

Let's face the facts here: The Matrix Reloaded was easily one of the biggest movies of 2003 and it was also one of the most anticipated sequels ever since a lot of people liked the first flick. It would seem only natural that a movie about a bunch of hackers trying to fight through a highly advance computer program would get its own video game, eh? So here we have this Enter the Matrix video game, a game that was released on the same day as the Matrix Reloaded movie. Since this is the first ever Matrix video game to finally to come to the console market here, this is no ordinary 'cash in on the movie' type of game. In this action game you don't play as the main character ...  Read the complete review

With the prospect of being the best movie – tie in game ever made, Enter The Matrix certainly had a lot to live up to. There’s been a lot of criticism of games which are based around movies and this game had it fair share of critics right from the beginning. The big question is did it live up to the massive hype and anticipation that was cast upon its shoulders? There’s no actual answer to this question, it’s definitely a brilliant game, no doubt about it.

While the world awaited a sequel to 1999 epic The Matrix, its creators, the Wachowski brothers, were busy expanding their vision beyond the confines of film. Firstly, there came the fantastic collection of anime short-stories that made for The Animatrix, and then the video game Enter The Matrix (ETM). On the surface, an obvious and lucrative tie-in, but also rather progressive among its peers as it plays its own individual (albeit ultimately minor) part in the bigger Matrix picture. Chronologically fitting in between the original Matrix film and its silver-screen successor Reloaded, ETM gives fans a chance to tackle a side-story based around two of the series ...  Read the complete review

Enter the Matrix is an action game developed by Shiny Entertainemnt for the Playstation 2. Enter the Matrix has an excellent story that parallels that of the Matrix Reloaded movie, instead of controlling the main characters you get to experience to story of either Ghost or Niobe, you get to deliver the message into the matrix that the machines are going to get to Zion, you get to meet many of the movies characters such as the ghostly twins and the Keymaker and set up events so Neos quest will succeed. If you are a fan of the Matrix you will love the storyline. You can choose to play as either Ghost or Niobe, their paths are more or less the same but ...  Read the complete review

Enter The Matrix could have been an amazing game, given the potential of a title that allows you to play as Neo, the superhuman badass from the Matrix films. Sadly, though, the game only lets you play as Ghost and Niobe, who are cool characters in themselves, but hardly what any Matrix fan wants when you could be playing as Neo! It's a decent game, with some nice touches, but not enough to render it anything more than good. What IS good though, is that it retains all the key elements that made the films so entertaining - you can kick lots of bad guy ass (both soldiers and agents), whilst performing a number of insane slow-motion stunts, such as running up the ...  Read the complete review
