Enter the Matrix
Will the game live up to the movie's hype? Chris takes the red pill
Isn’t it always the way, you wait around for four years for one Matrix sequel, then two come along at once! With both parts of the film trilogy coming out this year we are bound to be in for a few games emanating from the world of the Matrix. The first of these games has just been released on all major platforms. Enter the Matrix concerns itself with the timeline of the second film and, according to the press release information, will give us elements of the upcoming film through a completely different story. Is this game just going to be a spoiler for the film? Will it live up to its gargantuan budget? But most importantly will it be a good game?

The plotline, as with the first Matrix film, is hardly straightforward. In a nutshell, however, you take the role of two members of the ship Logos, Ghost and Niobe. In the opening level you are trying to find information on a missing ship and its last report. This search leads you to cross the path of Morpheus, Trinity, Neo and most importantly Agent Smith (or should I say Agent Smiths).
You can choose which character you start as and each character has slightly varying stories to unfold. They both have their own unique fighting style, which allows for many hundreds of different moves to drool over. You can marvel as your character walks up a wall spins round with a flying kick and sends the opponent screaming. You can either engage in face-to-face combat or select an array of impressive weapons to annihilate your opponent. The ability to slow time to pull off and observe some of the more complex moves is just beautiful. This function is fast becoming a common effect in 1st person gaming but the style and fluidity of this version adds to the slickness and character of the game.
These fighting levels are nicely contrasted with a few driving levels (Both cars and the Logos), some sniper missions and oddly a hacking section. This addition is both odd and confusing. It can only be described as getting your old Spectrum out from the attic and playing on that for a bit. It may be that I have yet to reap the benefits of prolonged attempts at deciphering what the point of this element of the game is, but with a game as action filled and graphically appealing this area of the game will not appeal to most of the gamers.
This game has come at a time of hot competition. It will be in direct competition with Vice City and Zelda just to name two of the biggest competitors. These games are huge and dense and attempt to trap you for weeks and months as opposed to days. Enter the Matrix is an outstanding game but it does fall short on game play time. In easy mode, all that is needed is a day and a bit of coffee. This is a major fault, despite having two stories to do and being able to fight Trinity! The game still manages to be fun and once you get into watching the silky fighting moves you’ll be able to pick this game long after you have completed it to have a good battle with all the Agent Smiths!
The graphics on this game are of a high standard but this comes at a price. The loading times are long and frequent, but with this there is increased save points and some quite impressive movie footage. The likenesses of all the characters from the films is outstanding with animated versions of Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Agent Smith, Seraph and the Twins. The world they inhabit is brilliantly subtle and strikes the original feel of the movie. The cinematic soundtrack is impressive yet over imposing at times. I found myself dying because the music would be so intricate you couldn’t help but listen.
So this game does indeed let us Enter the Matrix. We can live, breath, fight and die in the Matrix. But the real selling point of this game has to be video footage of the upcoming film, the graphics and being able to fight Trinity! It falls short on game play but the look and feel created by the music and cinematic style is truly engrossing. Can this game compete with the big boys? Well of course it can, what it lacks in game play hours and a multiplayer game it more than makes up for in style and variation of game play. This game is definitely worth a look if you are a Matrix fan and even if you’re not, it’s still a little beauty of a game!

neo's right. if you could actually use neo or trinity this game would be twice what it is. well done to the makers of it. I didnt like the idea of focus at first as i though it would be too much like max paynes bullet time but theyve really made it work. nice one lads
It's not a bad game, but there was just something I could'nt put my finger on that made me decide not to buy it
Because its a game of a movie mebbie?
The fact that it was based on the movie put me off slightly. But most of the reviews seem positive enough and a lot of my mates are saying that it's not bad. Worth a purchase?
Its better than most of the reviews give it credit for. I'd personally give it an 80 overall. If you have a console you should probably rent it. Its a pretty short game.
whats better xbox or playstation 2?
I think the PS2 has only 1 disc but I still don't reckon I'd buy it, worth a rent I suppose but I don't think I'd be playing it long before I got bored with it....
This is oone of the best games I have played in a long time
fine th slo-mo is cool but its already been used in games such as mac payne the graphics of ps2 are edgy but you gotta love the Kung-Fu
I came by the same link, I'm currently impartial after reading that BloodRayne was given 85%. I'm not so sure about that.
the fighting was sweet but ist way too easy in hard mode i beat it in one day.
i think the game sucks it always freezes and i dont understand the problem
I thought it was going to be the game to purchase until it ended before you could be Neo, Trinity, or even Morpheous! Some of the car graphics weren't as good as I thought they would be. I was going to buy it but when the game suddenly ended, I was glad I rented it!
Ok... I have now completed the game with both char's and it took me 2 days...
there aren't many kicks and punches, maybe just 20-30.
sens Im a program master ;) I'll tell you guys how to
"unlock" Neo, Trinity and much more chars...
First open your matrix installation folder then open "actors" and then copy all these files:
ghost_costume01
ghost_costume02
ghost_costume03
ghost_costume04
ghost_costume04b
ghost_gi
ghost_phasing
then COPY for example the file "Neo" in the actors folder then PASTE "Neo" 7 times in a new folder and then rename the files to thoose ghost names you have copy.
then COPY all the 7 files into the actors folder and overwrite all the files.
mwuhahahaha now if you start/load a game as ghost you will look like Neo!!!
works with every char in the game like:
trinity
swat sniper
swat
guard
agent smith
agent thompson
and many more....
I program in these programs:
Microsoft Visual C+++
Microsoft Visual Basics (VB)
Microsoft Visual Fox Pro
Microsoft Visual Inter Dev
HTML
JAVA SCRIPT
JAVA APPLETS
ASP
Good luck from

super good game, heres how to get multiplayer: just type in 'cheat d5c55d1e' make sure there is a gap between the word cheat and the code, this doesnt work on PC, only ps2
enter the matrix was a okay game. It sucked ass that you can't be neo. wtf!? I don't want to be niobe or Ghost..I want Neo Damnit! >_<
works on my pc cheers m8
i would give it all up to ps2 cuz i played enter the matrix on both platforms and it was far better than x-box.
why would you want to ply as neo? playing as neo is playing as god, therein lies the problem. its fun for awhile but eventually its gunna suck, its no fun when u have no chance of losing. Im glad there isnt a neo
how do you unlock morpheous
the matrix is great, but hacking is anthor story. :p
The game in my opinion rocks. It is fairly short but then again I have to finish it with Ghost yet. I am spending a lot of time trying to figure out the hacking part. Any help?
xbox because xbox has more hardware then ps2 like downloadable music and able to save with out a memory card

Hi its me Malice and i have found out who to get neo idid`int believe it at first ut it REALLY WORKED!
what you need to do is get a PQ9 Mega pro auto link and put into the big box space at the back of your ps2
i found this out because there was this program on tv and it was called Joe Silver Reloded and he told everone. The link costs One-Hundred pound or One-Hundred-fifty-three dollars but it is worth it you can also get to play as the twins, play in zion, play as agent smith and many other characters on 2 player but you can do it on 1 player. The link can be used with nearly any 2002 ps2 game up to 2010 in the world. but you can get 1000 secrets on any game.

hi are you sure thats the NEO code for THE PS2 CONSOLE? cause i tryed it serveral times and got nothing i also heard rumurs that it had something to do with the ENCODE & DECODE files on the hacking comand list have u heard that too ?
actuly he might be right cause i heard rumurs that it had something to do with the ENCODE & DECODE files on the hacking comand list, they say if you go to ENCODE (by the way which is stupid cause i don't even have ENCODE on my command list only DECODE) but anyway if you go to ENCODE and type Neo Morpheus or trinity then it gives you a code for each one then you go to DECODE and type that code that it gave you then that person is unlocked
To get Neo
F2222546

i would like the cheats for enter the matrix on ps2
i think that u shoyld have to have a plugy thing for tha neo cheat dammit
This neo cheat is really annoying ive looked everywhere on the net and all i get are fake ones that dont work ive tried urs but i dont understand u only get a command invalid
you can apparently play in multiplayer dude. you need to unlock it in the hacking section. I've got the code and unlocked it but i don't know how to access it though!
Which ever game you hacked into and put the multiplayer cheat is the one you have to start up. Then when selecting a level go back to a screen which should be before the first levels. There are your multiplayer battles! Simple!
2 Be honest I got it at another website and out it here before trying it. But this works for sure. I don't know what to do after this U must branch out from there. Put in DECODE DBIUHU7XDTSMYZYO It would say unlocked neo and he would say "U have access" This time i know for sure
To get neo or anyone else all you have to do is when your on the list of commands in the hacking roon,press L1,L2,R1 and R2 all at the same time,then this should give you the Encode.Then Type in neo.ing or trinity.ing or go to the DIR and then B:\ID and then you will have all the people.So then you just go to Encode,type in that person and you will see a code underneath,go to decode and enter that number then you should hear Neo say "you have access".
This is because you have the cheats activated,all you have to do is just not put the unlimeted focus on and the health and all that and the bomb at the beggining of every level won't be there,then as soon as you've done that level just put them back on.
Try DECODE DBIUHU7XDTSMZYO I am sorry for the mistake
Can anyone tell me how to set up multi-player
