Yes yes yes.

It's a news story on Cube-Europe that Ikaruga is coming out on Friday.

And apparently, to many sites, Burnout 2 is also.

I have them both coming as GAD wins *is grateful* and can't wait.

Thing is, Ikaruga, Burnout 2 and Zelda are all going to be begging to be played. As are all the other games I want to get back into like SSX Tricky.

MOOFAH!

Ah ha, so there is a reason.

Bascially the actual game doesnt need to be good to sell well, it's got the name. But being a good game also helps.

It's all to do with the storyline. Because the game ties so tightly in with the Matrix Reloaded plot, anyone who has been allowed to play it has to do sign a non disclosure agreement. They could hardly send out copies for magazines to review and get them all to sign one.

Though the game with be mediocre verging on pap I'm betting.

Exactly.

The thing is, I usually want games after I've read the review, seen the video etc etc.

I have seen no reviews for Enter The Matrix, infact I've jsut searched for some on Game Rankings and there is none. Yet, the game is out this Friday?!? Normally there are a mountain of reviews 2 or 3 weeks before a game is released if not more.

Why are they doing this? Well maybe because they know suckers are gonna buy this game even without looking at reviews of the game. And for thsoe who do, THERE ISN'T ANY! So the majority will buy it anyway.

Videos are have been rare aswell, I snatched one up and it didn't show much of in-game stuff at all.

Prepare for massive disappointment all those who buy this game. Buy from GAME, you can take it back within 10 days and get your money back.

It's actually out?

How the hell can Woolworths replace a game that has probably been selling amazingly well for a few weeks with a game that isn't even out yet... or has been for a couple of days?

Idiots.

Yup, just look at the screenshots. Neo Geo or whatever he's called is standing there in a fighting pose still looking like hes under beta production.

I've seen a video of the game and the fighting aspect is poop.

It's just got this whole thing around it for some reason saying "Oh could this one, maybe, be the film to game license which will stop them all being crap?" Well no, it's just going to make things worse because your fooling alot more wiser gamers. It's got the whole 'The Matrix' name to it too, which means many people will just buy it for that.

Yup, it's going to be a cheap cash-in that looks good but is about as fun as a broken arm.

In my opinion Enter The Matrix is going to have alot of you disappointed. VERY dissapointed.

Take it like this, you hype up say a big Nintendo release which is actually a good game but you are disappointed. Now you hype up a game which is probably, from what i've seen, very bad and think how disappointed you shall be.

Be safe, buy Burnout 2.

I'm playing it now, it is twice the game Burnout was and even that was good.

Burrrrrrrrnout!

Chugga Chugga!
