this game is the best I ever played. its really easy to move because its like this: a= strafe left, s=back or down, d= strafe right, w=forward or up. check your keyboard its like they moved the arrow keys onto where the letters are and the view is controlled with the mouse. shift key is focus and space is jump. you play with the a s w d keys as if they are the arrow and the pinky on the shift for focus and thumb on the space for jump its so simple!!!!! you can do a lot of moves in a veriety of cases aginst many opponents and the weapons are realistic. its not too easy because in normal and hard it gets hard to beat the game. on top of all you get the story which tells you why stuff happened on "reloaded" like they did. I'm not a hardcore matrix fan but even after you beat the game both with ghost and neobe its fun to play again in easy mode. Buy it.

One of the greatest games ever.

I played the game at a friends house for a good couple of hours. One word to describe it: AMAZING! The possibility of moves and attacks is amazing, once you get used to the controls you can do just about everything you see in the movie (and more!). I'm going off to buy it soon (i can't wait for the shipping time to play!!!). My only worry is that the game becomes monotonous later on...

just like being in the game

Forget what others say on how lousy this gave is and what have you. I say this game is GOOD. Controls are a bit tricky at first but like any other game, once you get the hang of it, then you're set. Particularly tricky was the sniper rifle. Going into zoom mode, when there are a lot of enemies to target really got me. Though I found it sort of a cliffhanger, once you're really into it already, the game ends there. I hope they make a sequel to this game, just like the movie.

Mad cool It had all action. Better than vice city

This game was hot. When I got it was the coolest. You could jump kick and do the best moves. I would reccomend you get it on sale though.

Great game ...

"You get tasks but you dont know why" - and have you watched ANIMATRX ? In "Final Flight of osiris" theres an explanation why you retrive video tape. The rest is in Matrix: Reloaded ...
Graphic is great, but you have to choose best performance ... Controlls are a bit strange, but after a while (about 30 minutes for me) theyre great, ad now i couldnt imagine them to be different. Oh, and music is awesome ... :) A definitive MUST BUY for all who wants to go deeper into Matris storyline ...
PS
"Hack" mode is a great idea ... :)

not that good

This game isnt worth the money..... its a total console port to pc.... the textures and rendering are very poor.....input engine(mouse/keyboard) is not pc style at all.... its all running through a console style input.... theres basiclly no aiming the guns at all (auto aim).... and when do u aim (during sniper levels) the crosshair jumps around like its on a console.... you dont even have full control directly from the mouse. The progression of the story is pretty dumb too......it makes me wonder how much of a role the bowchowski brothers actually played in the development of this game.

Plus this game lags like crazy.... i have twice the recommended requirements, (2.26ghz, 1GB ram, gf4-ti4200 128mb) and the game lags really bad even in 640x480 with shadows turned off. It seems like they did no pc optimizations at all! total console port.... its as if im running a ps2 copy via emulator on pc... its sad.

The only 2 decent things about this game (which is what saves it from being a total flop) are the sound (which sounds very nice on my Audigy) and the kungfo moves. Other than that this game is dumb.

From a Matrix fan--WOW!!!

I debated whether to watch the movie or play the game first. As it turned out, I saw the movie first, so when I started playing the game, I knew who some of the characters were. Now I'm onto the second level, and I've already been in one of the scenes from the movie. This is one deep rabbit hole. So lets break this down.

--Graphics--

Though I have seen better, and high resolutions the graphics engine is very sharp. Most scenery is deformable, especially tiled columns. Very sweet. In Bullet-Time, things get a little grainy, but it works out well. The bullet trails are extremely similar to the movies. On lower resolutions, I don't think the game would look so great, so if you are hanging around the recommended specs for the game, might want to upgrade before getting it.

--Sound/Music/Voice--

Due to the tightly interwoven development of "Enter the Matrix" and "Matrix: Reloaded" the voice acting is top notch. All the big screen characters portrayed in the game have their dialog done by the corresponding actors, not cheap stand in voice actors. All of the sound effects are taken directly from the movie SFx. The music is also well done, fitting so well into the gameplay that you almost miss it, until you realize that the fast-paced score is making your heart beat that much faster. Very well done in my book.

--Gameplay--

Here's where it gets a little sticky, and where a number of gamers will be a bit turned off. The controls are pretty standard for normal gameplay, and most of the action takes place in a 3rd person over the shoulder view. You are able to switch to a first person view if you want to or have to at certain points of the game. There are lots of weapons to choose from, in addition to having a martial arts option to combat. You can even mix the two if you choose. There are also an impressive number of special moves, many utilizing Bullet-Time, that can be used for both hand-to-hand and ranged fighting.

There are also parts where you will either drive a car or other vehicle, or ride "shotgun" and take out any enemies that try to get in your way. These parts can be a bit tricky, as the controls may be either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. If you can stick it out though, these parts are short, and the rest of the game should more than make up for them.

Another interesting feature is that you can play the game through with 2 different characters with similar yet differing storylines. While not being revolutionary, the producers do stress that if you really want to understand the story, you should play both characters all the way through.

--Multiplayer/Mods--

None at the moment, but I'm sure it won't take too long for people out there to figure both out. I have money down taht the first mod will be to let you play as either Neo, Trinity, or Morpheus.

--Overall--

If you aren't really a fan of the Matrix movies, DO NOT buy this game. You will not understand what is going on, nor will you appreciate the subtleties of the game experience. However, if you are like me and are an avid Matrix fan, this game delivers. I very much look forward to playing the rest of it. I hope you have found this review helpful, whether or not you decide to buy the game.

Altough the Game didnt live up to the hype, the effort put into making it is clear. When I started playing it, I didnt like it that much. But after a while I kinda started to like it. There are some crazy Kung-fu moves u can do. Now to the Cons, the graphics is not that good. Dont expect it to be like a Splinter cell Environment. The Driving Engine and the Flying Engine is very bad.
In the end. If u are a Matrix geek like me, go buy it. Or if u are just a videogame geek, go rent it.
