The Matrix changed the way we looked at movies and changed american cinema for good. One would think that the game based on such a culture changing movie would be just as good. Unfortunately, that's not the case here with Enter The Matrix. Enter The Matrix follows the path of two of the lesser characters from the movies, Niobe and Ghost. They pilot a ship called The Logos which is the smallest and fastest in the fleet. Their story is interwoven with the story from The Matrix Reloaded and somewhat into The Matrix Revolutions. The story is shown through live action video with the actors from the movie. All of it is additional footage directed by the Wachowski brothers. It's a good way to flush out the Matrix story and get a different perspective on the events of the movie and they're surprisingly well done. Too bad the rest of the game doesn't follow suit. The game tries to split itself up into three parts. Driving, Shooting, and fighting. Unfortunately for us, not one of these categories work. The driving is stiff and the controls feel like I should be driving a mack truck, not a Mustang or Jeep. Shooting is awkward and aiming is a chore. Your best bet is to strafe back and forth and spray the area infront of you with bullets and hope to hit something. The game uses bullet time, but call it Focus. It's very gimmicky and not even worth using in the first place. Shoot dodging is pointless because you get hit anyway. Unlike Max Payne or Dead to Rights where shoot dodging avoids bullets, here you dive into them, making it pointless to do in the first place. The game does allow you to perform tricks like running along walls and cartwheels, but the controls are so cumbersome that it makes it pretty pointless. By the time you pull off the cartwheel you've already been shot to the point of death. And now we get to the fighting. The fighting in the game is awkward, stupid looking, and pointless. Your character performs the same combo over and over again. There's no chance for variety. So the fighting gets very old very quickly. Mission objectives are very boring. Nothing interesting ever comes of them. The fate of the human race is in the balance and all Niobe and Ghost can do is go to an airport to make phone calls for a meeting and get busted there? Come on. The graphics in this game are something I would expect on a Dreamcast. Not X-Box. Not even PS2. It's pretty sad. The game looks like an unfinished, demo build. Horrible textures, poor character models, and poor lighting all encompass what is one of the worst looking games in the genre. When you go into Bullet Time it just makes everything worse because it slows down the already horrible animation and makes everything that is bad stand out and make it worse. Just watch them run for God's sake. I mean...what in the blue hell is that!? The running animation is so awkward that it's comical. I was laughing as I was running from an agent because of the animation alone. The sound in the game is nothing special what-so-ever. Infact it borders on boring. Plain bullet sound effects. Most of the guns sound the same with the exception of the shot gun. The music is boring and pointless. It's so minute that it might as well not have any music at all. It would have saved the developers some money. Overall, it's a pretty bad game. Not worth buying at all. Maybe a rental just so you can see another story from The Matrix universe unfold. But you'd better be patient because it's going to get very frustrating very quickly.

man this game is the worst. i mean its good but it has bad graphics compared to all the newer sytems like the 360,ps3,the wii. its fun though dont get me wrong. it has its ups and downs.

GRAPHICS- 4.0...Preferably the best thing in the game: Shiny textures and great graphic matrix moves will slightly make your jaw drop!..but some animations like: climbing, running, and walking look absolutely pathetic!!! SOUND- 3.0...Sound is usually not needed in a game..but in the matrix..it is really needed and this game's music of course didnt work out..crappy gun sounds, weird music not relating to the matrix, bad voice acting, and a bunch of other audio flaws produce a HUGE glitch!!! CONTOL- 3.5...Better controls than gamepro thought in my point of view!!...easy contols for the moves are cool and very responsive control styles appear but the thing that really takes the game down in controls is: custom configuration and awfull pause slow-down points that always appear in EVERY Level!!! FUN FACTOR- 2.5...The Movie was great but the game sucked..it gets boring after the second level and there is absolutely no replay value..cheats make the game even more dull and the hidden 2 player mode is dumb of the dumbest!!!.. the matrix mechanism is cool but it just does not cut it!!!...Just proves that movies don't make good games!..now I gotta Demolish This Glitch!!!

Atari created Enter the Matrix in the hopes of profitting off of America's most overrated movie for 2003, Matrix Reloaded. Atari has created a bandwagon game with a very cool holo-foil case. Atari has marketed Enter the Matrix very well. The only problem is...Atari created a horrible game. Once you get through the game's movie and cut scenes, the "cool factor" wears off immediately. The game's standstill graphics are decent, and feature realistic character models, but the horribly unnatural animations marr the game completely. The controls are even worse, featuring a harder learning curve than edward's scissor-hands. Do not even bother with this game, do not rent it or buy it. And please be sure not to stare too closely at the pretty green case.

i dont know why this game got really a really bad review the graphics arent that bad but xbox could do way better the sound is great with voices from the real actors the controls are fine too me the camera isnt that good and the first person view is just stupid but besides that this game is good if you like the matrix buy it

it sucs it was way to hypet up and did not diliver that all like the short an stupid it sucks so bad
