Summary: pc version for only the most powerful gaming pcs
Review: The first thing I noticed is that the process to load the game took a very long time. I have a very fast computer and it was a process that took about 15 to 20 minutes to load. I have installed operating systems in the same amount of time. That aside, the gameplay leaves something to be desired. The PC has never been a great action/adventure gaming platform and this again proves why. The controls for moving the character and performing manuevers while fighting and shooting are a little awkward but the default keys can be changed. It simply comes down to the fact that playing the game will feel a lot better with a gamepad. Many moves require that you hold several keys down at a time and that can become a problem with a keyboard and mouse. While that will not deter hardcore PC gamers, I would suggest going with a console version if you are a casual gamer. When it comes to the graphics I am sure they look fantastic on the lastest 9800 from ATI or 5900 from nVidia, the game runs DirectX 9.0 and if you have anything less than a card that supports this natively I would stay away. I have a ATI 9000 and had problems with the graphics. The speed is not an issue, but there seems to be a problem with shaders and ray tracing when you draw your guns at times as well as other atmospheric effects gone awry. All in all it seems like a decent game, but its performance on the PC was not as good as hoped. If you want some Matrix action you probably would be better off getting a console version, but if you are a hardcore Matrix fan with bleeding edge hardware you can probably afford to by more than one version.
P.S.: This version has a feature that lets you hack the Matrix with a cool command-line interface.

Summary: This is a place for REVIEWS
Review: This is a section for RE-views. RE as in past tense, meaning you have played the game. How can you review something that wasn't even for sale on the day you wrote your "review". I'd even give you leway had you played the demo but, don't review and put up 5 stars on what is coming.

Summary: Gameplay not perfect not still insanely impressive
Review: Well I decided to actually watch the movie and play the game before posting a review, but I understand everybody's eagerness...First of all, I can say that it's a very impressive game, not only about gameplay but also the way it intertwines with the movie. There's about an hour of footage (haven't seen them all yet) with all the same actors as in the movie. It basically fills in a lot of what went on during the movie but they couldn't fit it in, all revolving around the character Niobe. You can play one of two characters, and the tasks are different depending on which one you pick, so basically that means you can play this game twice. The gameplay combines FPS (kind of), third person shooter, fighting, driving, and ship piloting. Given this ambition, I guess it would be too demanding to ask for everything to be perfect, and it's not. The one-on-one or one-on-many fights are very impressive but sometimes I feel like a chimpanzee could just sit there and press the mouse buttons to kick some agent ass (can I use that word on Amazon?). Driving was a bit awkward as you can't change views but well done nonetheless. Shooting reminds me of Splinter Cell a bit, but you have to guess your aim as there is no target marker. What's great with the Niobe character is that you can run on walls, do somersaults as you shoot, slow down the action so you see the bullets in "bullet time," jump great distances, and other funky stuff you see in the movies. I haven't played the Ghost character yet but it seems more gun focused (sniping, shooting from cars, etc...). As for the footage, I was surprised how closely they follow the movie. They probably filmed the movie and game footage at the same time. The only actors you don't see from the movie much are the main characters like Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity. If you watch the movie first, you'll get a lot more out of it. I also feel bad for those that like the movie but don't play games, since the one hour of footage is definitely a great supplement to the movie. Anyway, that's my two cents. If you like video games and like the movie, it's a must buy, and even if you like only the movie or video gaming, I still think it's worth your while.

Summary: Run away!
Review: A waste of the 3.5 gig installation space. This game is just bad. Sure it's got some nice features, but the developers left out an important one -- gameplay. The gameplay is horrible and the driving levels will make you long for the crappy gameplay that the rest of the game has. I'm using a trainer to try to follow the story and not have to worry about gameplay and can just run through -- but I still have to do the stupid driving levels! This one definitely wins the Daikatana award for 2003 -- all hype. It'd be nice if they released a story version or movie that'll tell the story of the game without us having to play the wretched thing.

Summary: Enter the Matrix - brilliant but unforgivably flawed
Review: I excidedly opened my package containing the matrix reloaded on May 14th (sent 1 day early by my local supplier), and merrily installed it. i was surprised by thr 4.3 gig (yes you heard me) minimum install, but soon got sucked in. the 3rd person combat is just, in one word awesome. when with just a few button presses you can have your character grab an enemys gun, throw him over your shoulder, turn around and shoot him mid air is just astonishingly cool. the "focus" system works very much like the bullet time system in max payne, but also allows your chacater to do a whole new set of moves, as well as slowing time down. overall the 3rd person combat (and thats all it is folks, no puzzle solving just combat after combat after combat) is just fantastic, and more than worthy of a purchase. however, the driving sections (which are interspersed with the 3rd person action) are terrible. really terrible. really really terrible. as gunner (you can choose between 2 characters, one who drives, the other shoots) the car drives with all the skill of an 8 year old on tranquilizers. Enemy cars are indestructable for no given reason and the whole driving section seems rushed and messy. Another niggle is the sound. 2 in-game engine cut scenes have no sound at all, and there are massive sound errors on both the freeway level (where all sounds are blocked out by constant "wind noise" so loud you have to mute your speakers) and the later nuclear power station level (where the echos of footsteps and gunshots again, drown out all sound and are DEAFENINGLY loud, again to the point of having to mute your speakers. this games sound is so bugged it needs an exterminator. despite these problems the game is fantastic, and i have not had such an enjoyable single player experiance for ages. if the sound problems are sorted in a patch this will be an excellent game. it is clear the PC version is a rushed port of the playstation/xbox versions and sadly it shows.

Summary: Nice but there are better
Review: I got my hands on and played a copy of the PC version. Sad to say I was disappointed. It was pushed as the next great game and the graphics going to be great and cool and all this and that. It just doesn't live up to the hype. I recommend renting and trying it before you buy it. All your getting is a single player game (no mods, expansion or online gameplay) for a high price and not all that great at that. Story is somewhat slow and confusing. I haven't completed it yet so we will see but so far nothing to make me sleep with this game under my pillow. You are given tasks in the beginning but not told why or what for so you don't understand. Graphics were a disappointment on the PC. This game was made for consoles and the PC was an afterthought. Knowing this, the graphics will probably look fine if not ok on the consoles (probably look the best on the xbox). It would have been nice for the graphics to take advantage of PC video cards and processor power. Sound is not a distraction and actually is the best part of the game. Adds to the mood but is more often instrumental taken from the first matrix. There are some times when the music is heavier and makes you feel more pumped up and ready to take on all the bullets. Best part of the game (which is sad) Controls are wierd. Perhaps this is because of it being on the PC but I think even with a gamepad it would feel wierd. Your character runs EVERYWHERE. Kind of annoying when going into a tense situation. Guess your not suppose to sneak or be careful but go in with guns blazing. Which would be cool but the fighting is reduced to button mashing. There is no training center or dojo to learn how to master fighting, focus (bullet time) or shooting. Instead you are given 'tips' as you move through the game. The controls are clumsy and found myself at times with my back to ememy strugling to face them to fight. Seems the game would rather show you how cool you look than let you actually do something useful. Seems to be very big on looks but lacking on substance.

Summary: Good Story, but Still Flawed
Review: Now, before any Matrix fanboys(or girls) jump on my back, just hear me out. Obviously I think this game will be definitly worth playing. The story looks great and the kung-fu looks incredible. However, the graphics are not up to par with what can be currently produced. Unfourtunatly, the controls are rather clunky. The "Focus" gimmic, while it looks very cool and fun, it promises to be rather difficult to use. And, the gimmic isn't even their own idea. Max Payne first came up with the idea. In conlcusion, I beleive Enter The Martix will be an average game, but it will be worth playing even if only for the story.

Summary: ...
Review: This game is guaranteed to be one of the best games of 2003! The first movie was great the second looks sweet from the previews and the next one after The Matrix: Reloaded is bound to be great. This game is going to be a mix of Max Payne, and Tomb Raider by the looks of the screenshots, but also it has the storyline of Maxtrix Reloaded. Theres no way thing game is gonna have people wishing they hadn't bought it... there's defenitly no way.

Summary: Stay Tuned for An Incredible license!!
Review: There is little doubt that this is going to be one of the top games of 2003. The December 2002 Game Informer Magazine gave this a full-length feature, and it left little doubt that this is going to be a powerhouse game. Enter the Matrix is being developed with a close collaborative effort between gaming industry and Hollywood so that they can create a game experience "as rewarding as the movie." There will be ultra-realistic character movements with the over 4,000 motion captures performed and encoded into the game. We are promised over 200 minutes of in-game cinematics and voices from the actors of the film including Keanu Reeves (bless his heart). You can play as Niobe or Ghost, and you play along side characters from the first movie (Neo and Morpeus). Screen shots look promising with plenty of special effects. Unless the something goes terribly wrong between now and the release of this game, we can expect ONE AWESOME GAME!

Summary: It is a good mindless shoot-em-up.
Review: Many people are angry at the game because it gets repetitive. Hello, mindless shoot-em-up? That's how most of them go. It's no Max Payne 2, but it's still good. Most of the people that write bad reviews about this game are RPG fans and do not enjoy mindless killing. I love RPGs, but I also like shooters. You have to like mindless killing to like this game, and I, like many others, do.
