The hacking option is truly a unique and amazing way to add additional interactivity into the game as well discover bonus content.

All is not perfect in Enter the Matrix, but for its few flaws, the game delivers what it is meant to: a very convincing experience inside The Matrix that looks, smells, and feels like... The Matrix. [July 2003, p.76]

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.

Wants to be so many different games that it doesn't excel at any one of them. [13 June 2003]

The music, sound effects, cool fight scenes, bullet time and being able to fight an Agent. It's all good. This is the very nature of a license – you love to hate them and hate to love them. They bring as many problems as they do solutions but every once in a while the good stuff outweighs the bad.

Exactly the kind of experience we were hoping to play in this game... too bad we only got to watch it. [Aug 2003, p.79]

Its coolest feature is the glossy cover art. Dig inside and what you'll find is a game devoid of personality, thrills, and fun. In short, Enter the Matrix is everything it shouldn't have been, and nothing more.

Fails dramatically... Severe, fundamental flaws permeate the experience, ranging from wince-inducing run-cycle animations to sloppy, unrefined controls. [Aug 2003, p.78]

Decent game. Shooting is alright, fighting is cool, the cut scenes are sweet. However, the slowdown during boss fights from 60fps to 10fps is what will completely screw you.
