Playing it in 2022 it has that trademark Xbox-era "jank" that I have come to see charm in. It's difficult and often frustrating to play, but most segments can be defeated in 2-3 attempts even if they give you trouble. It is passable. The game really shines in how it weaves into the Matrix narrative and actually does original things with the IP. The is the most interesting movie-based games I have ever played. Clearly lots of care and attention went into this game, it is not just a cash grab like so many other such games might be. Worth playing for any Matrix fan no question.
Granted the game is almost impossibly hard (artificially so to ensure it had good "rentability" for US market) conceptually the game has a lot going on. There are three distinct and well done gameplay types. The beat'em ups, the shooting and the driving. The controls are tight and response and it has good music throughout.
Consider playing the J version "Mad City" for a much smoother experience.
