I got this game a couple of weeks ago, the day after "the matrix reloaded" came out. I was very excited about the game, considering that I really enjoyed the movie. I popped in the disk, and the game started up pretty quickly, no probloms there. I picked Ghost as the main character ( you get to pick either Niobe or Ghost as the char. that you control, and both have some unique levels that the other does not). I began to play, and was immediatly hooked. The fighting is amazing, it's third person, but it rocks! With the L button you can toggle bullet-time, you slow down, and you can walk on walls, dodge bullets, and do almost every move that you see in the movies.This game does have a multi-player, contray to what the box, you get to have 1 on 1 battles with major characters, like Agent Smith and Morpheas, but you get to do it with another person.

Pros:

Great fighting
Lots of levels
Over an hour of actual footage
Interesting hacking system (hack in new moves, solve binary codes, chat with neo, etc.)

Cons:

Computer animated cutsceens a cheesy, not that big of a deal
Is too easy at times (but that can be solved with HARD instead of NORMAL)
Don't get to control Neo, Morpheas, or Trinity in one player

Overall great game, a must have for any Matrix fan or GC game collection

I bought this game right before I saw the movie on the first day it came out, and both of them were awesome. Theres hardly anything wrong with this game. The coolest aspect is when you focus(slow down time or bullet time) and you can run up walls, dodge bullets, or jump long distances. Another thing thats great about it is the graphics, they look perfect. The kung fu is great, and you can also do moves that are like the game "Splinter cell". For instance, if you walk behind someone you can choke them, or disarm them. Its the little things like that, that make this game good. The only thing thats a little leary is the driving...shooting is fun, but the driving is little hard to do. If you are thinking about renting the game, dont...you should buy this game because its well worth your money. It has lots of replay value also because you can either play as ghost or niobi. There are also they difficulty settings, and lastly, its 2 discs. You need to play this game to get the full feel of the matrix!

This game I think is the best game based on a movie. It allows you to litteraly "enter the matrix." A cool part about this game is that it allows you to slow down timeand preform really cool moves and tricks that can only be accessed then. Also, the code entering mode is very cool and brings to you that "hacking" sence, like you really are hacking in! I loved the dual wepons, and the cool matrix missions, and fact that both your health and your focus meter re-charge! But, somethings I disliked, the fact that on the road the cops are relentless and very powerful, the multiplayer (which you use a code to unlock) is very bad, the agents are very overpowering and if you see one, all you can hope is that you can escape somehow or he will continue to pick you up and throw you until your dead, other than those things, I say this game is very cool. And quite possibly the best game based on a movie.

What can I say, I didn't truely hate this game with every fiber of my being; just most of it. Granted, on easy, the game had a lot of potential. My friends and I would pass the wavebird around the room taking turns on every level, which turned out to be for the most part, about 5 or so minutes a piece. That is unless you play against Agent Smith, then he backs you into a corner and pounds you into the ground repeatedly. Boring. Don't even get me stated on the ladder animation. If you use the focus while climbing the ladder, it looks pretty good. I don't reccomend climbing without the focus, it's painful to see. Just like every other game, there are cheats, in this game "hacks" that unlocked a multi player section. I almost had a siezure. I being a button masher, won almost every round due to repeated slamming of the L,R,A, and the occasional B button. I didn't give it 1 star, because face it, it wasn't Brute Force.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's been waiting for a matrix game since the original matrix. Well now It's Here, And It's Great.

Gameplay 9/10
Wow, this game has driving, fighting, shooting, and it's all done amazingly well. My only problem is that 1/3 of each character's missions are the same. And you can use your focus, it slows everything down, and you can do crazy things just like in the movies.

In Game Graphics 8/10
Good graphics everything is done well what more can I say.

CGI Cut Scenes 4/10
What is this! The Computer Generated Cut Scenes SUCK.
This is the worst thing I've seen in a long time, the original super mario bros. graphics were better (almost).

Live Action Cut Scenes 10/10
That's right, this baby has 1 hour of game exclusive dvd quality cut scenes. Simply amazing, and it does'nt feel wierd going from live action straight to computer animated.Wonderful.

Sound 8/10
Good sound effects, good soundtrack. Just goo all around.
And the music timing is perfect.

Replay Value 8/10
The driving levels are fun no matter how many times you play them, plus ounce you beat the game, you can go through ALOT OF HACKING to get a sword, It takes forever but it's worth it.
And there's a hacking code to give you a multiplayer mode, but it's not that great, you can play as morpheus, agent smith, trinity, a police car(it's really funny the car stands on it's back tires and punches with its front ones) and more. Great Replay Value.

Overall 9/10
If you're a matrix fan or a fan of driving shooting or fighting games, get this. And for $20, You can't go wrong.

boring? atari sucks? dude im sorry but your a retard atari hase made quite alot of awsome titles including this one.
path of neo just came out and its amazing i wold say GET BOTH there awsome jumping around running up walls taking a guys gun and shooting him at the same time.

sound: 9 out of 10. the sound was great but some times it got a lil skratchy and its not my speakers.

graphics: 10 out of 10. great graphics there the same as the xbox version.

gameplay: 10 out of 10. awsome there are alot more moves nad stuff you can do in path of neo. but there are still some realy cool aspects.

The game is a nice game comes with two discs one is the game disc the other is a behind the scenes disc from the movie. I liked playing the game but its not the type of game or theme that i enjoy playing. I got it because of the movie.

AWESOME gameplay and if you like driving shooting martial arts and the movies of the Matrix trilogy. Out of a 1-50 rating I rate Enter the Matrix at an rating of a 10000. SO BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!

In Enter the Matrix, you can play as two people: Niobe (a girl) or Ghost (a boy). If you want to be good with guns your best bet is Ghost. If you want to be good at martial arts yo should choose Niobe. Niobe and Ghost have two differnt "quests." If you look at the entire game, they have about 6-7 levels that are the same out of 50+. Enter the Matrix isn't the best game ever, but once you start to play, you can't put the controler down for anything. Heres the bottom line:

Concept: Take one of the best movies of all time and make an awsome game out of it

Graphics: Not the best that I've but much better than some others (SW: Bounty Hunter, Sonic Heroes, Madden, etc.) 8/10

Sound: Gun shots sort of muffled. Voiceovers are quiet at some times (can be fixed by simply turning up the volume) 9/10

Controls: No real problems on Gamecube (BAD on Xbox) 10/10

Fun Factor: As fun as watching the original Matrix 10 times in a row 10/10

Replay value: The lower levels never get old. The higher ones are good for a few times through. 9/10

Overall: Who wouldn't want a game based on The Matrix? Even if this game had Teletubbies in place of Ghost and Niobe, this game would still rock. 9.5/10

Official Synopsis:
IN THE WAR TO SAVE ZION, WHAT PART WILL YOU PLAY?

Exclusive film footage from the creators of the Matrix trilogy.
Battle alongside the original motion picture cast from The Matrix Reloaded.

My thoughts:
Enter The Matrix is an excellent video game for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it weaves in and out of the movie, The Matrix Reloaded. Another reason is the awesome gameplay it brings you. You can run up walls, dodge bullets in bullet time, and have a wide armistice of martial arts at your fingertips. Basically, it's all the action of The Matrix Reloaded on your Gamecube. But if you play this, and you see an Agent, then RUN. They're unbeatable. I highly reccommend this game of the year nominee. It's available on all three next-gen consoles, and if you haven't played it yet, do it. After all, THE MATRIX HAS YOU.
