Enter the Matrix

Got Game?

If you can't get enough of the Matrix, The parties responsible for the movies have simultaneously realeased a game. It's available on PC, PS2, and Xbox, and it tells the story of two minor characters from the movie, and what they were up to while we saw Neo do his superman thing.

I'm playing through it now. First/third person action twitch games aren't really my thing, and its fairly challenging, even on easy, but the fighting system is superb. Your character can bust out with the kung-fu hand-to-hand styles, or throw down with a variety of pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.

The game itself is a visual treat, with fairly convincing models and textures, and decent performace. The cutscenes are movie footage, shot by the actors from the movie.

Overall, it's a B/B+ title for me. I'll probably try to watch the cutscenes out of game, since I doubt I'll finish it.
