I think that the game is really awesome!! But I think that there should be another game that should come out.It should be about being Neo and defeating Agent Smith(just like The Matrix Revolutions).You should be able to fly and have super natural powers and still have that awesome moves and slow-motion.I do think you need a little more guns and more awesome-not-so- difficult-to-do moves.But I think that the Enter The Matrix video game is AWESONE!!!!!!! ***** Five Star Baby
MATRIX FANS WILL WET THEIR PANTS

Seriously though if you like the Matrix movies than that is reason enough to buy this game. The hours of footage filmed solely for the game and the slo-mo action sequences are done well enough to excite the Matrix fan in everyone. For everyone else out there Enter the Matrix is still a good game in its own right. The story is good and the action is intense and exciting. True, some of the slow-mo moves do get pretty old after a while but it doesn't take away from the whole experience. Anyone who is looking for a fun shoot-em-up or is a a fan of Max Payne or to Rights should check this game out, even if you just rent it.
Enter...Nothing?

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.
