Enter the Matrix is the story-behind-the-story.

ENTER THE FUN - Reviewed on 2008-09-14
Though it was not received well by die hard fans,this first attempt to bring the matrix universe to home consoles is a groundbreaking and highly entertaining action romp.While members of the main cast from the films will make brief appearances,you will be playing as either Niobe or Ghost,two side characters from the films.All the goodies found in the movies are here at your disposal such as: wall walking,bullet time,tons of kung fu and guns...lots of guns.The game also contains several training modes and a hacking option that allows you to activate cheats and download new programs and weapons.Graphically this game is astounding,highly polished environment and weapon surfaces gleam at every angle,sound quality is also top notch allowing you to hear every footstep,punch,explosion and gunshot in crystal clear quality.Since the story takes place between films 1 and 2,bits of video from the actual movies is intersperced within the gameplay.Bottom line,Enter the Matrix left me entertained and completely satisfied with my purchase.With nonstop action,unbelievable sound and audio quality,a long and exhilerating campaign,and an ubelievable price tag,letting this sleeper hit pass you by would be a shame of proportions just as epic as the game itself.
Started off fun, but was a chore to finish... - Reviewed on 2008-04-26
The game started off fun - beating up postal employees, police, swat; picking-up many different kinds of fun guns along the way; and the car chases were pretty cool, too. But towards the middle and end of the game you are simply running through various city mazes to avoid agents, which you can not beat by fighting them, you can only avoid them and get to your next destination. And the last two stages on board the ship "the Logos" there is virtually nothing to do. And the end of the video game just sets up the last movie in the trilogy. And I didn't really care for all of the cut scenes of which some of them were quite long. They used actual footage from the 3rd Matrix movie in some cases, which was probably pretty cool back when the game came out (it was released before the 3rd movie), but now a few years later not so great. Besides, the 3rd Matrix movie was the only one of the three that I didn't like! So cut scenes from it, not so great! Not to mention that you are playing with either Ghost or Niobe. WHO?! Niobe you might remember as the captain of one of the ships (Will Smith's wife!). But who in the heck remembers Ghost?! Actually, he is a fun character to play with, after you get over the shock that you can't use Neo or Morpheus or Trinity even for that matter! His karate fighting style is cool, but that just makes the end of the game even more bizarre when all you are doing is running away from agents!
Others have mentioned the problems in the game - voice echo and various glitches along the way. I did have to restart the game on one occasion when it froze due to a glitch, but mostly it is still playable without incident.
My main complaint with the game is that it started off fun but became laborious to finish it and then when you do finish the game, it's anticlimactic and you don't unlock anything special by beating the game.
