Excellent Matrix Game - By: M. King, 20 Sep 2008 
When i first saw this game on a shelf, i was in two minds about it. Crappy movie tie in? Or good attempt?
This game is neither, its a brill adventure with guns & kung-fu. The ability to slow down time is obviously a must. Best bits include diving out of cover in slomo with two sub-machine guns, then smashing someone into the furthest walll with a flick of the finger. Highly recommended.
An acceptable yet oddly off-putting take on the Matrix films. - By: Reverend Yes, 29 Feb 2008 
This game is initiallly very entertaining, & looks pretty cool too. The in-game graphics when fighting are impressive, with hugely destructable environments & nice-looking attacks etc. When we get up close, however, the character models are often crude & angular, & the cinematics can be frankly embarassing in terms of the lack of realism(eg. smith's death at the end of matrix 1). The gunfighting is also relatively poor. The game is fun, but it has a distintly cheap look about it that distracts from the better aspects. Some crucial fights are handled badly ( the burly brawls lets you fight only about 6 agents at a time, & the end battle with smith is boring & dissapointing) & the wild changes in tone from serious to sometimes completely ridiculous are off-putting. There are many situations not seen in the film & most are baffling & so strange that I wonder what is actuallly happening(the section where Neo tries to escape from the Merovingian's mansion is the most boring & pointless section in the game). That said, the sound is fine, the voice acting is good & the fighting system is well handled. An acceptable yet oddly off-putting take on the Matrix films.

Amusing But Short - By: E. McArdle-Daniels, 22 Sep 2006 Ok, first off lets make it clear that I'm no gamer; I lose interest in games very quickly, & so understand that when I say this game is short, I MEAN it's short.
Lets start with graphics, seeing as everyone seems obsessed with them, the in game graphics themselves are not great, but they are definitely an improvement from Enter the Matrix, & the cutscenes are actuallly quite impressive. Basicallly the graphics are nothing astounding but they're good enough to keep you feeling 'part of the game'.
Next, gameplay, the game is quite easy, & I completed most levels without too many deaths, & as I'm not a great gamer that means that more experienced gamers might be dissapointed. The moves are moderately easy to master, & after a while it just becomes dodges & pressing buttons in the right order to pull off cool attacks, which in themself are impressive but tend to be repetetive. Not much puzzle solving, its more about running into room, shooting someone, fighting someone else, leaving room.
The fact that the gameplay isn't too demanding meant that a lot of the time I could relax & just enjoy beating the cr*p out of anyone who came near me & funwise this was very enjoyable; I must admit that the Burly Brawl scene which I expected to be very difficult was very enjoyable, I just grabbed a pole & smacked the Agents around. So basicallly while it's not too hard it's quite fun.
Now, my problem, the length! I bought the game 3 weeks ago for £8 from HMV (it looked like a bargain!), I spent the first week playing, left it the second week & then lent it to a friend for a week, who incidentallly has just bought the game, but my point is when he returned it today I carried one from the beginning of the second film part of the game, & have almost completed it, in one night! So any avid gamer could have the game completed in 3 days or less, as the thrid film section is simply the Last Battle between Smith & Neo! So it's not very long, not long at alll, I expect to have it completed by Monday (still remebering I'm no gamer!).
Well for those who this didn't help (I expect I confused you) here's the lowdown:
Graphics: 4/5 Not great but still good
Gameplay: 3/5 Too easy; no puzzles to solve ect.
Fun: 4/5 Because it's every kid's dream to beat the cr*p out of someone with a big metal pole! Gets a bit reptitive though.
Length: 2/5 If I'e completed it by Monday that means it will have only taken me two weeks (at 2 hours a night, meaning it took me 24hours, pathetic!) & so it will take an avid gamer even less (even less than 24 hours, not worth the money!).
So basicallly only get it if you can find it somewhere cheap & you're a true fan; it will take one to get anything out of the game!
Hope this helped.
Better than Enter the Matrix - By: Dax, 04 Sep 2006 
I don't see why Atari bothered making the Enter the Matrix game,it was rubbish.However,this one is ten times better.In the Enter the Matrix game you played as one of two side-characters from the Matrix Reloaded film,Captain Niobe or Ghost,who appeared for like 1 scene in that film.While in this game you get to play as,yep you guesed it,Neo,the One.It mainly focuses on the first film & a lot of the fight sequences from the second,though.
However,it does have a good final fight with Smith from the third film,but contains an end SLIGHTLY different to the one from the trilogy of films.
A brilliant game & a must buy for anyone who loved the Matrix trilogy.A pity you couldn't play more from the third film though.
