User Rating: 6 | Enter the Matrix PC
If there was no tie-in to the movie, this game would be a 5 or 5.5. The fact that it supplements the movie gives it a slight ratings boost. If you are not a Matrix fan DO NOT buy this game. The gameplay is barely above average and not worth the $50. The graphics are also just above average and the the sound downright average. It does have an interesting mix of combat/driving/puzzle gameplay. The controls are a bit quirky and take a little getting used to, and the camera occasionally gets stuck. Focus time is fun for about 15 mins. There's only so many times you can flip off the wall and clobber someone before it gets boring. For some reason I found "bullet time" in Max Payne way more fun. Using your weapons is useless if hand to hand is an option. Hand to hand provides more control, and you can basically kick arse w/o touching any weaps. Overall, this is an average game that a Matrix fan/gamer might enjoy. There are plenty of other good games out there worth your $50 though. Then again, there's an aweful lot of crap that's much worse than this game out there *cough*Master of Orion III*cough*
