Welcome to Another Matrix In 2003, the world of "The Matrix" expanded not only with the sequels "Reloaded" and "Revolutions", but also with the video game "Enter The Matrix". This wasn’t just another movie-based action game — it was a full-fledged addition to the universe, developed under the close supervision of the Wachowski directors themselves. They even shot dozens of minutes of exclusive cutscenes with the original film cast specifically for the game, making it feel like a movie in video game form. Instead of the usual Neo, Trinity, or Morpheus, the spotlight is on Niobe and Ghost — secondary characters in the films who take center stage here. Their story unfolds parallel to the events of the movies, placing them right in the thick of things: running missions, chasing down enemies, fighting Agents, and even interacting with familiar faces from the film trilogy. The sense of immersion in the Matrix universe is strong: chaos, shootouts, conspiracies, and philosophical musings on the nature of reality — it's all here. The game lets you experience the story from a different angle, which was a really cool concept at the time. The combat is solid. The developers managed to capture the cinematic style of the Matrix's fights — characters throw stylish punches, dodge bullets (though not always successfully), do flips, and beat down enemies with kung-fu flair. It’s all topped off with the franchise’s iconic slow-motion mechanics, making the action sequences pretty entertaining to watch and play. But then come the driving sections — and they almost ruin everything. The car controls are awful. The vehicle handles like a brick on ice, steering has a crazy delay, and when you pick up speed, it feels more like piloting a slipper than a car. It’s frustrating, to say the least. The graphics are stylish but dated. Visually, the game mirrors the film’s aesthetic — muted greens, dim lighting, and that digital world vibe that feels like it’s glitching at the edges. In 2003, it looked okay, but even back then it wasn’t exactly impressive — textures were simple and animations a bit stiff. Still, for the chance to step into the Matrix, that was easy to overlook. "Enter The Matrix" isn’t a perfect action game, but it gave players the chance to truly dive into the Matrix universe and feel like part of its story. A decent plot, solid combat, and familiar characters made it a worthwhile experience for fans. If it weren’t for the terrible vehicle controls and outdated graphics, this could’ve been a real hit — at least for me. But even with those flaws, the game left a good impression back in the day. 7 out of 10
