    About The Game:
    Taking place between the second and third movie in the motion picture trilogy, Enter the Matrix features a mixture of gunplay and martial arts that bends the rules. Insane driving and stunts and the chance to pilot the fastest hovercraft in the fleet proves that this isn't just a game that's set in the Matrix universe; it's an experience that's designed to be a true part of the entire Matrix mythos. Enter the Matrix is the story-behind-the-story and features slo-mo bullet time effects, never-before-seen live-action footage starring the cast of the movies, and plenty more. Also available for the Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Gamecube, and Windows PC.

    I'm not gonna lie. This game was pretty damn fun with cheats on. I rented this a lot from Blockbuster as a kid and never got bored of it. I'm super cereal.

      RJTheHero, I'm with you on this. I'm reminded of another game that was similar in gameplay and had a few of its own quirks: Minority Report. It was "bad" because of its repetitive game and design (doubling its length by replaying levels...only mirrored), and seemingly directionless other than the wanton fighting going on...
      But if that's what you're there for, Minority Report was gold, as is Enter The Matrix. These games were likely not worth the price at the release, the the price as of today and the FUN you can have with it is worth whatever flaws they supposedly have. Cost vs. benefit, this stands ABOVE games we would consider good by comparison.

      RJTheHero I think that's one point this guy sorely failed to understand. Playing this game without Hacking is like going into The Matrix itself without an Operator. Your denying yourself one of the most crucial assets to the experience. "OH, it's just DOS." Hey, guess what, jerk? Some of us weren't lucky enough to get to mess around with DOS, so it was a fun learning experience for us.

      Wow, literally my experience too. Hated the game because it was hard and awkward and I hated not being able to bullet time whenever I wanted, so I used cheats. I still didn't particularly enjoy the game, but the ability to just Neo out made it more tollerable.

    Ok, here's what happened with this game behind the scenes:
    Shiny Entertainment was developing this game, and they had full intentions to make this game every bit as spectacular as fans were expecting it to be. It genuinely was supposed to be a masterpiece, and a lot of care was being put into the game. However, Atari, the game's publisher, was having a bad quarter and decided they needed money. As a result, they decided to capitalize on the release of The Matrix's sequel by releasing Enter the Matrix on the same day. However, the game wasn't complete. Shiny was still working on the project, and needed more time to get it done. Unfortunately, Atari didn't care. They forced Shiny to pack up what they had and sell it as-is. An unfinished build of the game was released to the public because, in a desperate cash-grab, Atari refused to let the developers finish the game, disappointing fans everywhere in the first place.
    If Atari hadn't forced the game out the game out the door, would it have lived up to the hype? Would it have been a great game? Unfortunately, we'll never know,

    The problem with "Enter the Matrix" and "The Matrix Reloaded" is that they tell two halves of the same story, and the two halves sort of need each other. The game also makes no sense unless you watch "The Final Flight of the Osiris" first. This was back in the days of VHS, and I actually tried splicing the cutscenes from the Animatrix, Enter the Matrix, and The Matrix Relaoded into one continuous film. It was actually a LOT better! I never finished the project though.

    I played this game for hours, "running into room after room and spraying people down in slow motion." It was a challenge to see if you could kill every enemy without getting hit, all the while doing the most acrobatic spinning-diving kills, combined with wall-running transitions to and from intermittent fighting.
    The attack set of each character changes the way you play the game, adding a unique bit of strategy to using each character.
    I tried to play the xbox version, and the PS2 version was way better gameplay wise.

    I liked this game. I liked the story tie ins too. I bought it right when it came out. I played a ton of it and got used to the controls. I was probably wearing matrix colored green goggles, and thought it was better than it actually was, but I enjoyed it. I did lots of the hacking stuff... I liked the mini movie built in, which tells you why the Oracle looks different,... I picked up on all of the story points inserted in it... I liked the Merovingian part...
    I know it’s really unfinished and flawed and broken... and everything you said about the look of it is spot on, but I liked it when I was in my 20’s. Lol
    The super terrible matrix game was Path of Neo. (Edit): the best way to play is with the cheats. I can’t believe I played hundreds of hours of this. Lol

    I actually can explain what happened to Tank. It's not known precisely why Tank's actor wsas fired from the franchise but there are two possible explanations; pay and attitude.
    The first one is that Marcus Chong, Tank's actor, demanded an enormous pay-rise compared to the original film to return to the franchise which the Wachowskis thought was far too much for a minor role. Either it was the executives or the brothers*' call is unknown.
    The second is that apparently, Chong was rather difficult to work with to the point that either the Wachowskis, his costars or both simply didn't feel comfortable with him so he wasn't asked to return and his character replaced with Link.
    *Yes, I know that Larry Wachowski is now a post-transition transgender called Lana, I'm just putting this into the time-frame of when the decision is made and is not meant to be any form of attack on Lana.
    *Edit: I did NOT know that Andrew had also undergone a transition as is now living as Lilly until AFTER I wrote this. Sorry if I caused any offense.

    for 11:30 I highly recommend *The Matrix: Path of Neo on PS2* where one can play that scene and many more. It's dumb fun and filled with references to games and movies. One level is basically a scene from Jackie Chan's Legend Of The Drunken Master. Another level is highly influenced by Mortal Kombat. And the final level is *awesome* !

    definitely the best in-depth look at this game I've seen on youtube. Nobody else really went into the Hacking mode in as much detail, especially covering the weird multiplayer and hidden lobbies.

    If have a love/hate relationship with Enter the Matrix. On one side, there is some enjoyment I had with it when I was playing it like Max Payne-lite but with Kung fu and I liked how there was original live-action footage to tie in to the movies, but on the other hand, the driving was terrible, it can feel clunky at times, the controls are confusing, and many, many problems.
    But I still liked it, even with all its problems.
    Even if The Path of Neo is better.

  • @OfficialBiggBenn
    @OfficialBiggBenn 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I remember the game being an absolute broken mess. Pc version though, not sure if that was worse.
    The driving segments were practically impossible, so playing as Niobe was out of the question. But playing as ghost was also not a possibility, because in the airport level, in my version, it was somehow impossible to shoot out the tire from that fucking plane.
    So my gameplay experience was limited to start->first driving segment as Niobe, and start->airport level as Ghost.
    I still had a blast with the bullet time, but I suppose the fact that I literally couldn't progress kept me from playing the game enough to get bored.

Christ, seems like you didn’t even try to enjoy this? It’s a fun game, for people who were inthralled by the matrix. “Nobody wants to run through every level in slow mo gunning down enemies” Speak for yourself man, you said it yourself you played it when it came out, and loved it. You can’t compare it to the games 4 years ago when you made this. You played it as your job and not to enjoy it this time around.

    This game was so freaking good. And it tied deep into the movie connecting back scenes the cinenatic storyline which was pretty awesome.
