  • Summary: Enter the Matrix features awesome gunplay and spectacular martial arts that bend the rules of the Matrix, insane driving and stunts, and the chance to pilot the fastest hovercraft in the fleet. This game isn't just set in the Matrix universe--it's an integral part of the entire Matrix experience, with a story that weaves in and out of The Matrix: Reloaded, the second chapter of the movie trilogy. Enter the Matrix is the story behind the story. Collapse

  1. Merely an okay game that benefits greatly from its movie license. [June 2003, p.106]

    If only the whole game was able to capture the fun inherent in the fight sequences, it would be a true masterpiece.
  3. Enter the Matrix isn't a perfect slice of interactive entertainment, but it does provide at least a dozen hours of action-packed fun and serves as a clever vehicle to expand on the events in "The Matrix Reloaded."
  4. In more than 20 years of playing games, I have never seen a console game as obviously unfinished and rushed to market as Enter the Matrix...This game is a complete mess, and that's the only complete thing about it. [Aug 2003, p.114]

    This is a fun game for fan's of the movie. it's kinda of renter since you can finish it in under 10 hours. good graphics, nothing great, the best part of the game was the hacking. Expand

    Well, this game serves well if you are looking for an easy-to-play Matrix-experience. Where it really fails to deliver is in terms of gameplay and replay-value. This game is extremly short; it took me around 3,5 hours for playing it through for the first time. The actual gameplay is very straightforwarded and repetitive. It's fun to play and watch, but in the end it leaves you kind of unsatisfied. Expand

    This is the worst game that I have ever played !!! Not because of the action (its really good) but it crashed on my GC !! the stack heap overloaded - this is NOT a good piece of software. Please Atari - release this game WITHOUT any bugs and I'll give it a 9. Hacking (extra game) is fun ! Expand
