The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
So do you have any questions to ask the development team about the game? If so post it here and it may feature in the interview. The game is multiformat so I think it applies to this forum rather than just the Xbox version.
A questions by Tuesday please...
Oo oo I have a question!
What is The Matrix?
:p

Now now Mystique, you cant be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself.
Whoah.
The official strategy guide to Enter The Matrix is written by Brady games and includes exclusive information and hacking codes unavailable anywhere else. Is this just a cynical marketing ploy to get gamers to buy a book and watch a film and buy a game to get the whole picture? Or are there special unlock codes contained in further merchandising like Neo showergel and Trinity pillowcases?
How much did the game cost you to produce?
Which of the gaming platforms was the easiest to convert for and which one, in your opinion, runs the game the best? (heh).
Are you going to be making a game of the original The Matrix storyline?
Which is easier: Working with thespians or working with computer generated animals and kids?

no but you might be able to in the game.

*checks canned laughter machine*
IGN recently had a pre-play of the game and said it was very average and not to keep your hopes high for anything but a mediocre game. Surely with license and budget you've had, you could make something a bit better than the pile of filth that will be hitting the shelves on the 15th of May?
2nd question:
How does it feel to rip off so many kids who have dreams of being Neo and really entering the Matrix? The hype surrounding this game has been gaining momentum recently, does it feel good to cashin on a film license and take these gullable kids hard earned pennys away from them when you release this veritable stinkfest in the form of entertainment?
3rd Question
Don't you think you should just stick to making MDK games?

IGN also gave Tony Hawk's 3 a perfect 10, and Smackdown 3 a respectable 8.0. Don't believe everything you read, kids.

It's not claimed to let you play as Neo. He's not prominently featured on the game's packaging or advertisement. You still get to play as some of the main characters.
The game... hmmm... even PC Zone said it was nothing special when they played it. Things do NOT look good.
