Ok... Enter the Matrix was one of the most top-selling games last year and to me, one of the most disappointing. Yet, it is Shiny Entertainment’s best Matrix game and their only Matrix game. Ok, I rented it for a week on my X-box. The slow-mo stuff is fun..., but hey, Max Payne? Be there… done that and had more fun. Anyways, Enter the Matrix is the fan's game; it fills in the gaps of the movies. In my opinion.... the story should have stopped at the end one the first Matrix movie. I know the developers had the idea in there mind that non-gamers would be playing it, also.. so, they simplified the controls. Now, the animation is great, but the game play behind it is sallow. And there's not much to the game, except beating people up...over and over again... and the driving and real world levels? ...... I'm not going to touch that. Yes, the glitches are copious in the game, but that's not all what kills the game as much as the monotony. The graphics aren’t very striking and are just so-so. Now, I did like the so called "hacking" part of the game...., but all it is…. is a cheat code menu! Come on! The cuts-scene are a nice addition and the game does have the Matrix feel, but it's a poor game and it lives right in the ranks of the most typical movie-based games.
I give it a moderate... 5.7/10
