The different attacks and stunts you can do with Niobe or Ghost
Two characters
You can't play as Neo (that's good because the game wouldn't really be fun if you can kill enemies in one blow)
The bullettime function
Exclusive film footage from the Matrix Reloaded
Graphics
An alternate ending that lets you avoid the annoying Smith chase
Hacking
THE BAD:
The last level (the Sentinels are quick little bastards)
Some levels are boring (the post office, sewers and Chinatown)
SUMMARY: Enter the Matrix was an awesome game that bought in early 2005 (a bit late from the 2003 release) and I thought it was boring and slow. I picked my game up in March 2006 and I can't stop playing. I shouldn't have judged the game by the cover (the cover is actually cool with the lights). I beat Ghost's story and I loved the game....
THE GOOD: Two campaigns Lots of weapons Decent amount of variety Bullet time
THE BAD: Poor graphics Agents Hacking game Sound is terrible
SUMMARY: Enter the Matrix is another game where you slowdown time and shoot bad guys in slow-motion simiar to games like Max Payne and Dead to Rights. Sadly, Enter the Matrix is not any better than either of these games.
Enter the Matrix is actually set at exactly the same time as The Matrix Reloaded but it is played in a completely different perspective. In the game you can choose to play as Niobe or Ghost. Despite the two characters are simiar to play as but sometimes the levels can be completely different depending on which character you have chosen. Sometimes they just have different roles. In a driving section, if you play as Niobe you get to drive the car but if you are Ghost, you ride shotgun taking out police cars and anybody who gets in your way with your MP5 sub-machine...
THE GOOD: The fighting is really cool, just like the characters.The hacking system is also really retro and the unlockable multi-player fight mode is very good.
THE BAD: the hacking system can be very difficult. Also when you don't know what to do in the story.. you're stuck. But luckaly that is ALMOST impossible
SUMMARY: When I first played it, I was shocked! The first levels are really pretty, the enemies were not too difficult but also not too easy. When the story developed, you get to know more about the environment you play in etcetera.The hacking mode is really unique and the multi-player mode is also very cool. You have to go through a lot of difficulties to finally find the right cheat, but it's worth it! There's also a secret training base with funny trainings(like you can't walk and only have a gun, and the enemies are running right at you)The coolest is still, when you unlocked everything, to go to the first levels and just fight...
THE GOOD: A massive range of mind-blowing moves and attacks. Hacking mode is addictive and fun. Focus mode (bullet time) can give you an advantage in combat, and looks cool. You can drive various vehicles and ships. Tons of guns.
THE BAD: You can't play as Neo. Some levels too short or repetitive.
SUMMARY: Enter the Matrix has an absorbing plot, following Ghost and Niobe as they race to help save Zion. It's a lot of fun to play, and Focus is a dream to behold. The only bad things are the few levels that are repetitive, or almost impossible to complete. For example, Retrieving Axel will have you wishing you were dead. There are also tons of guns and enemies to fight, and you can run rings around them with Focus. Hacking is a refreshing change from the usual blasting and fighting, and lets you unlock extras for the main game, such as a Training arena and multiplayer.
THE GOOD: some of the moves story (even though its practically the same as The matrix reloaded)
THE BAD: No neo not enogh matrix moves
SUMMARY: Well they have finally decided to bring out a game tie in with the matrix story (BORING) no seriosly weres neo i mean he's not even in the game exept for the movie clips.
Now the moves some of them are good where as others are cack and there are some they have missed out.I like the disarm and shoot move but thats it and the agents are tooooooooo easy i kick the crap out of all of them on hard.I mean this is supposed be a matrix fighting game and most of the time you are walking in the middle of a room with no enemys in it.
ending my review it was a waste of my money i got bored of it after 2 weeks so i sold i not even one thumb up
THE GOOD: This game WAS one of my favourite games i had ever played,i have completed a few times and it doesn't easily get boring. You just get a wonderful feeling when you rebound off the wall and kick some guard in the face. Or come up behind one and twist his neck, killing him instantly. The fighting is all quite aweful, and interesting. Then they get guns out, instantly the difficulty begins, but it is no problem for gamers as they dive and filp around bullets in bullet time mode, an incredible feature of the game.As you go into bullet time mode every thing goes slow, and you can make fighting stronger,or run along walls or cartwheel and dodge speeding bullets.The outcome is an amazing game.
THE BAD: it is a very fast game. you complete in about 3 days.Also the graphics are not as good as other games, such as Final Fantasy, even in the fmv, cut scenes it still looks chunky and as if the programmers put little effort into it,quite a let...
THE GOOD: The Good? Almost everything in the game! When I first saw the martial arts in the game, I was soo amazed! Also the feeling you get when you run up a wall shooting at a SWAT soldier, its sensational!
THE BAD: It would have been better if you could play co-op. The graphics could do with a tiny bit of cleaning. Other than that its fine.
SUMMARY: When you play this game, if feels like your watching a movie, or better yet, in the movie itself. The structure of this game is beyond all others. Especially the extra Hacking section of the game where you hack into the story itself and extract scenes and controller vibrations. Also the martial arts in the game was very well thought out. You also get to see scenes that were never in the movie, but would fit into the movie. Its like living The Matrix: Reloaded. To top all of this off, you get to see a preview of the 3rd and final movie of the trilogy, The Matrix: Revolutions.I give it a 4 out of 5.
GOOD The graphics on this game are good and you can usually buy it cheaper than most other PS2 games.You get the oppatunity to play Niobe or Ghost but no Neo.As either of these characters, you will visit agent Smith on several occasions.You can get to do some really cool fights with the focus on, which lets you walk up walls etc matrix style and defeat opponants quiker.Exclusive film footage is shown in between levels which is quite cool.
BAD If your a fast gamer- rent it! you will find it short. The driving levels can get very hard but on the other hand some levels are rediculously easy.There isn't much music on this game either, it gets very, very quiet.It ends kinda suddenly when you get to the last level withought accompishing much.
OVERALL If you like the matrix triology- you should buy or rent it.The graphics and levels are cool and you may get addicted!
THE GOOD: Focus, Boss Battles, The Mix Of Fighting And Gunplay, The Hacking, The Graphics, The Gameplay.
THE BAD: The Hacking Gets A Bit Boring After a While, The Focus Is Imlited, The Goals Are Almost Impossiable At Times, And Too Easy At Others, Two Player Mode Is Boring,
SUMMARY: The Gameplay is Good And You have Too Learn The Techiques Which Means That When You Play As The Other Character It Is Too Easy As You All All Of What Will Happen As Well As It Being The Same Paths... The Graphics Look Great As Well As There Being FMV Scences From The Film And The Film Parts Made Into the Game Graphics... The Fighting And Gunplay Is A Funpart AS one minutes Your Unloading Clips Then Jumping 15 Foot In The Air And Kicking SOmeone Though A Wall... The Focus Is A Great Part But I Gets Used Quickly, But It Comes Back Pretty Qucikly As well as The Health WHich Takes Some Fun Out Of It While...
THE GOOD: The game has great graphics, is sold at a good price, has superb plot, and can get addictive at times.
THE BAD: Gets boring after you fully complete it with both Niobe and Ghost, and it doesn't take too long to complete.
SUMMARY: This is a great game to play. Truly brings out a few secrets about the Matrix. There's also exclusive film footage not even shown in the Matrix Trilogy. If you're a Matrix fan, go get this game. With a choice of either Ghost or Niobe, both have their own special part.
If you're more of a shooter than a driver, pick Ghost.
If you're more of a driver, pick Niobe. Either way, both are fun to play with. However the game only takes a good 4-5 hours to complete, which is this game's only downer. Overall I recommend getting this game, it's worth your money.
