...well, the PS2 version anyway.

What a load of crap. It's one of the most boring and repetitive games I've ever played. It was fun jumping about in slow-mo for a bit, but then it lost it's appeal after I'd killed about 100 guards - just by pressing a few buttons in the same combination. Not my cup of tea at all. the driving bit was a let-down too. The first one only lasted about a minute, then it was onto the same running, jumping, kicking nonsense as before.

And the graphics! How they passed this off as a PS2 game is beyond me. I honestly thought some cut-scenes were ripped straight out of Driver from the PS1! Bad textures, characters and dodgy camera positions just added to the boredom. No, this game wasn't the "One" for me I'm afraid.

Now, that Ninja Turtles game on the other hand...

Why did Max Payne lick balls?

I thought Max Payne licked balls so I shall not consider getting this anymore. Just seems like the hype with the film etc had this one rushed a bit to get it here in time.

There is so much potential for a great Matrix game yet I doubt we will see one.

Now the A-Team, a game based on that would be the best thing ever.EVER.

Can the newsmonkey e-mail developers and tell them to make one please?

Better than The Getaway.

Exactly.
It's a big stupid fighty run-run game that doesn't break new boundaries but still isn't as shabby as most movie tie-ins.
Max Payne did it better 2 years ago, but it's still your very own little bit of Matrix coolness.

And Max Payne 2 is out this year

I take the PS2 version for what it is - a big slice of dumb, moronic fun that I'll probably be bored of in two weeks. But I'm still enjoying it. Had to stop playing last night because I got to the freeway bit and don't want to spoil the film. Besides, it's better than the Getaway.

The driving bits smoke pole, however. It's more luck that you actually get through them.

Odd because the PC version is good fun. No glitches, 5.1 rumble sound surround and various other goodies.
Still, you play a console game you gets yer money's worth.

wow, and when I trash an even lesser product it gets deleted and all traces of the review removed! (except in my head - I'm pretty sure I know what's going on in there).
