If you ever wanted to enter the Matrix and beat the crap out of
countless police officers, SWAT teams and Matrix agents in slow-
motion just like in the movie. All I can say is that this game
really does capture the feeling of the movie. Could it be because
the people involved with the making of the game also worked on making
the movie. You get to play as Niobe and Ghost who play a minor part
in the "Matrix Reloaded".

The game itself is fast paced and fun to play. There are lots of
Matrix moves to perform and the now famous "Slow motion" fights.
There are lots of weapons and special kung-fu moves to use. The only
bad thing is that the game has lots of glitches. Enter the Matrix
offers a great storyline which may clear up many things about
the "Matrix: Reloaded" movie. Some things actually make the story
much more interesting and some open up more questions as to what is
going to happen in "Matrix Revolution".

To sum it up "Enter the Matrix" is just an average third person
action game. It is easy to play and incredibly fun if you are a
Matrix fun. Specially running on the walls in slow motion while
shooting at enemies and jumping to a wall and then pushing yourself
off it to deliver a flying kick to the face. Really innovative for a
videogame but it just doesn't do the movie justice. The vehicle
driving/shooting scenes really suck! because they are too
simple.

What I hated about the game was the glitches. Sometimes you shoot
enemies and they manage to punch you or shoot you back before they
fall. Maybe it is because I was using the slow motion but I really
hated it. Also sometimes when you arrived at a certain point the
game just takes over regardless of what you are doing and it flows
horribly from game to movie.

But there are lots of extras that can be unlocked by "Hacking"
into the Matrix using an onscreen keyboard and unlock the secrets.
You can also alter some of the environment inside the Matrix and
modify how you play the game.

There are some things you might need in order to enjoy the whole
Matrix saga. It is divided into three movies, one videogame and nine
short films. The videogame stars right where "The Last Flight of the
Osiris" short film left off. In order to fully enjoy the videogame
then I recommend you to watch the movie "The Matrix", The nine short
films "The Animatrix" (Coming out sometime soon), watch "The Matrix:
Reloaded" now on theaters (available on DVD in November, 2003) and
watch the conclusion the Matrix saga to be released in November of
2003 "Matrix Revolution". What really sucks is that the GameCube does
not play DVD's (It would be cool if they actually released movies in
the GameCube's min-DVD format).

Indeed, Enter the Matrix is a revolutionary title in that changes
the movie-videogame that has not been pleasant over the years. Lots
of crappy games based on movies have been released over the years.
It enhances the experience of going to watch a movie and then playing
its videogame. The videogame has some interesting ideas and it could
have been better had all the glitches fixed. It got moderate Reviews
from Gamespot and IGN. I really do hope to see more videogames like
this over the next few years.

P.S. I really enjoyed the Persophone/Niobe scene which really gave
me more insight into what kind of character Persephone was. There
are lots of more character development such as the
Merivingian/Persephone relation. Who is Ghost? and what happens to
Niobe and Ghost at the end of the Matrix Reloaded movie.
