    The hacking option is truly a unique and amazing way to add additional interactivity into the game as well discover bonus content.

    With well-rendered cinemas, obvious Hollywood-esque narrative direction, and enough signature Matrix fare from beginning to end via tightly implemented bullet time, the game captures ample essence to qualify as a solid translation.

    A blast to play - it's great mindless escapist fare - exactly like the movie.

    The music, sound effects, cool fight scenes, bullet time and being able to fight an Agent. It's all good. This is the very nature of a license – you love to hate them and hate to love them. They bring as many problems as they do solutions but every once in a while the good stuff outweighs the bad.
  5. GameSpot
    64
    The game's story isn't strong enough to stand on its own, and the gameplay simply doesn't save it, making the game worth a look for hard-core fans of The Matrix films, but a buggy disappointment for just about anyone else.

    As average a game can get, with plenty of things going wrong for it, as enjoyable as it might be at times.
  7. Xbox Nation Magazine

    Fails dramatically... Severe, fundamental flaws permeate the experience, ranging from wince-inducing run-cycle animations to sloppy, unrefined controls. [Aug 2003, p.78]

The gameplay is alright, the first time its fun, but rather boring and predictible the second time round. The storyline was obviously the focus. And seeing the plot from two characters is great. But this ain't no Resident Evil, And Resident Evil ain't this. This is the Matrix, have you taken the red pill?… Expand

Graphics and story were strong (lots of cool cut scenes), but the controls were awkward at best. Talk about "spraying" bullets; I had no idea where I was firing! Like so many games, weak attention to detail detracts from an otherwise entertaining title.… Expand

    I'm sorry but I'm an avid gamer so I know what a good game is supposed to play like. This game plays like crap. NO gameplay I'm sorry but I'm an avid gamer so I know what a good game is supposed to play like. This game plays like crap. NO gameplay whatsoever. I loved the movie too however, this game nothing like the film. Dont believe the hype. It has Great graphics, great sound effects, great marketing scheme, and unfortunately THE WORST GAMPLAY. I gave this little puppy a good chance too, almost two hours worth of playing time and I no longer can deal with its horrific gameplay. I'm Done. Return it for brute force may 29th. trust me.… Expand
