A game for die hard Matrix fans
Enter the Matrix is a side story to the movies the Matrix reloaded and the Matrix revolutions. The story follows the missions of Niobe and Ghost. You choose one of these two people to play the game as. You get different games with each one but mostly just going a other way to finish the task in hand. Some level are different where you ether drive (play as Niobe) or shoot (play as Ghost). The story doesn’t add too much to the story from the movies but die hard fan of the movies will love it.
The game play has some problems here and there but mostly can play threw. One big problem is if you are playing as ghost on easy and you are in the level boss fight with a helicopter the game will crash. I have tried this on three different copies of the game and all three copies crashed at the same place. Some things in the game bug me very much for example your person only jumps not even a foot high. In the first movie they are jumping building to building like 30 feet in the air. Even when you use focus (that lets you slow everything down and lets you do things like in the movies) still jump at the same height. An other thing that bugs me is the way their arms move when they run, looks very stiff and like a robot. The game uses live action video in the game. If you have watched the video review that Jeff Gerstman did he says that the clips are from the movie. Well he is wrong; I never saw most of the footage from the game in the movies. The game play graphs are little blocky, looks that the game from the beginning of the PS2. In one level there is fire and if you look at it for a few seconds you can see it’s a clip that loops and does it very badly. One good thing I found no glitches in graphs.
The sound is not all the great. At time the music skips and the music is load at some points. The music fits the game at points. The gunfire doesn’t sound real. When you throw a punch or a kick in the air you get a whoosh sound like in the cartoons. The sound the game makes where you use focus is a great it adds more feel to using it.
If Atari fixes a few problems on this game it could be a great game for all gamers. But this game is only game for Matrix fans. One great thing in the game is a clip where Jada Pinkett-Smith and Monica Bellucci kiss, totally hot. If there were lesbians kissing in the Matrix online the severs would still be up today.
