    This game has the best fight sceens i have ever encountered!! BY FAR!! the martial arts are reminiscent of the MAtrix itself! My only gripe is the controls whenever you are NOT fighting, they are almost the worst i have ever seen, but since you fight most of the time it is forgiving. Also the part when you follow that aeroplane you are given the worst hadling car i have ever, EVER had the This game has the best fight sceens i have ever encountered!!

This part is un-necessary as the game is a fighting game not a racing one! Apart from that the game is damn brilliant!!!… Expand

    If you?ve ever wanted to be in the movie, this is the closest you?ll ever get. Exciting fighting with an inventive way to implement the bullet-time technology into your battles, and a great story that adds and fills in parts of Reloaded. Over an hour of extra dvd footage of Reloaded, following story of Ghost and Niobe doing what they do while Neo and Morpheus work though the Reloaded If you?ve ever wanted to be in the movie, this is the closest you?ll ever get.

A draw back is the awkward control style that is fairly customizable, but lacks the two stick movement control but the great dvd footage and extra story depth makes up for it. … Expand

    Simply the best movie-game tie in ever. and the focus is the best part of it all. the wachowski brothers have out-done yourselves once again.

    This is is brilliant, and should be bought, it was a bit short and took me about 3 days to complete it (not playing it constantly) but after that T then completed the game AGAIN with Niobe! Brill.

    As soon as u play this game your hooked. For people that gave this game under a 7, I just have to say first stop being sore losers! If your not good at the game than don't play it. Second, if u don't like it sell it to people who love it like me!

    The hacking area was really useful when you are stuck on a level or you feel like blowing someones brains out. I do think it is a fun challanging game.

    Incredible martial arts action! Great integration of the movie's "Bullet Time" effect into game play. Good graphics, interesting plot. Free your mind!

    Some of us have been caught up in the hype of the Matrix, but I have just discovered how well fleshed out the experience is. Before I settled down to play the Enter the Matrix game on PC, I had seen the Animatrix short "Final Flight of the Osiris." To my surprise, the game picks up exactly where the FFOTO leaves off and my suspension of disbelief was complete.

Before I settled down to play the Enter the Matrix game on PC, I had seen the Animatrix short "Final Flight of the Osiris." To my surprise, the game picks up exactly where the FFOTO leaves off and my suspension of disbelief was complete. I have not been so immersed in an experience before. From the outset, you can choose between Niobe or Ghost. Personally, I like this approach as it helps to flesh out the characters who may not have much screen time as Neo, Trinity and the others we have grown to admire. The graphics and animation are great but nothing to write home about. It has played well on my Geforce3 and 1800XP system with no glitches so far. The sounds and movies mesh perfectly with the Matrix experience. The bullet time was better done in Max Payne but the ability gives your character many more options for survival as you will need them for the more difficult missions. Overall, I would highly recommend this game to everyone who appreciates the Matrix mythos and suggest that one does not miss all the multimedia experiences that the Wachowski brothers have to offer. After all, no one can tell you what the Matrix is. … Expand

    What a game, Chris Waddle (the end boss) is so cool you don't wanna beat him, but I did, I finished it, and the ending is anything but dissapointing, Enter The Matrix is one of the best games ever, a must for all fans of the film! 10 out of 10!

    Honestly I think the people who voted below 7 really need to stop being nerds and get outside this is about as good as it gets folks except some parts but still give it a hoot hoot.

    To matrix fans, GET THIS GAME!!! this unwraps the story and also is entertaining to watch. 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 To matrix fans, GET THIS GAME!!! this unwraps the story and also is entertaining to watch.

    Playing it in 2022 it has that trademark Xbox-era "jank" that I have come to see charm in. It's difficult and often frustrating to play, but most segments can be defeated in 2-3 attempts even if they give you trouble. It is passable. The game really shines in how it weaves into the Matrix narrative and actually does original things with the IP.

    Enter the Matrix isn't a perfect slice of interactive entertainment, but it does provide at least a dozen hours of action-packed fun and serves as a clever vehicle to expand on the events in "The Matrix Reloaded."

    Nerds may activate two-player mode using the DOS-throwback "hacking gameplay element." If any of you figure out how to boff Trinity during a rave, please e-mail me.

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