This game is dumb, but it is still a fun time. It doesn't take the most critical gamer to know this game stinks. Yet it still does some cool things, I had more fun messing around with the hacking menu than I did playing the actual game. I also didn't expect to beat it in a single morning sitting. For what you get, especially with the live action FMVs that tie into the second movie, it's not really worth it unless you like jank.
Enter the Matrix, released alongside The Matrix Reloaded, aimed to expand the movie universe through a video game experience. Unfortunately, the game suffers from clunky controls, frustrating combat, and repetitive missions. While the ambition of interweaving its story with the film's plot was intriguing, it fails to truly capture the essence of The Matrix. The bullet-time mechanics feel poorly implemented, and the overall experience lacks the polish and excitement fans of the franchise would have hoped for.
Nothing like this had ever been done before, and—to my knowledge—has ever been done since.
While the controls feel a bit weird at first (like, PS1 007 weird), you start understanding that they're literally perfect for this game after a while.
At the end of the day, they didn't have to do this. They did not have to do this. But they did. They went above and beyond.
And when you're done? You can play an alternate version of it as a different character. Genius.

When I was a child I was drooling over Matrix action and played Enter the Matrix. My initial impression was disappointing. Where is the Neo? Who are this guys? Gameplay is boring. Fast forward to late 2021, I started to watch/play/read every Matrix product before Matrix Resurrections. Playing this game again, it's still boring as hell. However it made me realize this game was ambitious in story aspect. In 2003, they released The Animatrix, Enter the Matrix, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions. They are all connected. For example "Final Flight of the Osiris" from The Animatrix happens, then Enter the Matrix starts where it left off, then it connects with Matrix Reloaded beginning. They made live-action cutscenes with quality on par with actual movies. You can play (or watch cutscenes from youtube) this game if you are binge watching Matrix series but I do not recommend just playing this game.
SOLO PARA FANS
Como gran fan de la franquicia de Matrix, siendo la primera mi película preferida de todos los tiempos, no podía perderme sus videojuegos que salieron en la época de PS2, aunque este lo jugué en PC.
Tras una rejugada solo puedo decir que será disfrutado únicamente por los fans, porque como juego individual no tiene mucho. El control resulta muy torpe y muy simple a todo nivel, tanto el combate cuerpo a cuerpo como los disparos, además de tremendamente impreciso.
Lo que destaco es la historia, en lugar de adaptar alguna película decidieron contar una historia propia y canon dentro del universo de Matrix que, no solo se junta con las películas, sino además con el universo expandido de la franquicia con Animatrix. Además de enfocarse más en Niobe, un secundario bastante interesante que en las películas no tuvo el tiempo que merecía.

I've been playing this on and off for ages. Kept getting stuck on the same bit but finally overcame that obstacle, and a couple of sections aside, breezed through it.
When it's good, it rad as fuck, when it's bad, it's because it's hampered by the controls of its day. But in fairness, they're pretty good in this game. It does a get a bit rinse repeat in the final level as well, but it's nice to see the little exclusive cinematic scenes and a bit more story to the films. A shame consoles didn't have video capture back in the day. But then I'm sure everyone on my twitter would have been bored of me posting every time I did an awesome flip then shooting a cop in bullet time.
Couldn't be anymore 00's by having Evanescence on the credits.
