Enter the Matrix/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[So Okay ItsIt's Average]]: It basically plays like any generic 3rd person shooter. Bullet Time (which was in video game form for a while before this game came out) looks cool at first but more-or-less waters down the difficulty while prolonging the game. You can do crazy stuff like run on walls, but it adds nothing to the challenge and you can't do anything creative with the moves. The graphics are bland, brown, and full of jaggies, but do their job well enough gameplay-wise. The music coding is hit-and-miss; at it's best, it dynamically blends from one song to another, at it's worst, the music just kind of fades away for minutes at a time during moments where it should be building. There are Crowning Moments along the way, but they're non-interactive. It was one of (reportedly ''the'') most expensive games of all-time at the time of its release, but most of the gimmicks were done earlier and better already in ''[[Max Payne (Video Game)|Max Payne]]'' and other games.

* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Inverted. The game deliberately takes ludicrously destructive routes for relatively simple tasks. The entire first mission, 20+ levels, is to get a tape from a post-office box. If they had arrived during business hours (or if Niobe had gone in with a low-cut shirt and said "pretty-please"), it would have been an in-and-out no problem. (The airport mission is needless roundabout, but it is at least an unavoidable rescue mission). Then, they escape the sewer system, easily avoided if they had just put in a dozen or so phone lines to the meeting place. Finally, they blow up a nuclear power plant at the climax of the film. I can't help but think how much easier it would have been to break into Building X's basement and shoot up the circuit breaker.
