Ok, was looking forward to Enter The Matrix but I'm concerned that I've not found any reviews anywhere online for it.
Not a one from a reputable site. I've seen some user reviews but along the lines of "u can leep from da wallz rofloflolfofoakf"

Anyone know if there are reviews around before I get it? Movie tie-ins usually reek and I'm always wary before purchasing one.

It's not a movie tie in its an "Official movie companion", the SR review is pretty good for information.

Funnily enough the publishers have only recently released review copies to magazines, websites and the like.

This will barely give them time to play it through before it is released.

Might find a few reviews pop up tomorrow, if you're lucky though.

Not sure if this link works, due to the frame it's in. No pop ups though:

(Find the space, it's a fun game)

A review of the Xbox version, that leads me to believe he hasn't played it either.

That review is the same SRs and other places, talks about features but not about the gameplay.

Apparently one of the hacking codes is available on the soundtrack CD inlay.
Hmmmm...I smell something,

I received my copy of NGC Magazine this morning and they gave Enter the Matrix...


73%.


I only scanned through the review, but they mention that it's very repetitive, with simple A to B running about beating up generic baddie goons over and over, which can get rather tedious after a while.
On the plus side it does have some amazing hand-to-hand fights and flashy visuals.
They feel the game was rushed and has a few glitches, and that always has a negative effect, but it should appeal to fans of the movie who'll go out and buy any old rubbish Matrix merchandise.
I suppose it all depends on what system(s) you have though. If you have a Gamecube then you have many great games out over recent months to play and may be too busy with Zelda or Metroid to bother with this, but Xbox and PS2 haven't been quite so lucky.

Seems like the review sums up what I've read here and there.
It's an ok game, not brilliant but not as bad as some movie-tie ins.

If I get it, it'll be the PC version.
Still playing Vietcong, Morrowind, GTA3, Delta Force, Freedom Force, Black and White and IL2 though, so it can wait.
