When I first heard about this game and how it tied in with the Matrix movies I was very interested. Afterall, it sounded like a very unique idea. Unfortunately, I was interested enough to throw away $50 on it. Enter the Matrix is, hands down, the worst video game I have ever played: controls are terrible, graphics are crap, game play is frustrating. As I said, I did think this was an interesting idea--certainly more original than any other video game based off of a movie--and I still do think it is a neat idea. The only real problem was the execution. They spent more money on the rights to use character images than they spent on game design. I know what you're thinking: "but, they had to use images of Niobe and Ghost", but those aren't the character images I am talking about. I talking about the other characters that you don't actually get to play as. One official review I read stated that $10 million alone was spent in order to use the image of Neo. Just imagine what $10 million could have done for game development. If you're thinking of getting this game, do yourself a favor and spend your money on candy. Once again, this idea behind this game is a very good one, but what they failed to realize is that games must be playable.
