All right..it ain't great but I've played worse. The controls do take some getting use to, and that seems to be everybody's biggest issue. But after playing through the first level I felt a lot better about them then when I first booted it up. The best reason to play this game is it's tie-in to the movie, and in that realm, it excels. However, I think they should have waited for the DVD realease instead of the Theatrical release. The graphics are a little bit above average, the cameras is basically stable (a few instances aside), and the hand-to-hand is great to watch. The basics are all there and are all solid, but this game definetly needed to be tweaked a bit more. There doesn't seem to be any real reason to go to your weapons, mainly because the there is absolutly no hope for control once you go into First-person view, and the auto-aim is harder to get used to than GTA III was. Hopefully a patch gets that quickly. My biggest disappointment so far, and needs to be mentioned, is the first time you ride shotgun as Ghost (who is the only character I've played so far), you are pretty inconsequential. You don't really have anything to do but watch your car crash alot. My biggest advice is to not use the default controls...mess with the mouse sensitivity till you get where you like it and remap the controls to fit your style. That made a alot of difference to me and may clear up a lot of complaints I've heard. In conclusion: a great concept, great graphics, really fun "focus" moments, adequate (but could be better) movement and fighting controls ONCE YOU GET USED TO THEM, and really, really bad weapon controls that hopefully can be fixed in a patch. If they could have had maybe 3 or 4 months to tweak, this could have been everything it was hyped up to be, but it's still better than most other movie-to-game translation I've played...LucasArts still hold the crown on that one, and they only seem to get it right some of the time (the JK and the Rogue series).
OK. Before I start to review this game I gotta tell you all that I usually don't like film-to game adaptions...cause more than often, they stinks. But for once, a kind of great movie-game arrives...and everyone thinks it... Read Full Review
Enter the Matrix is the game based on the movie The Matrix Reloaded and since the DVD should be out soon I thought it fitting for me to write a review for people who may want to pick this game up along with the DVD. If y... Read Full Review
