Line 6:
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Just like everything related to the sequels.[http://archive.gamespy.com/articles/september03/25overrated/index24.shtml More on it here.]
* [[Jumping the Shark]]: This may have marked the beginning of [[Shiny Entertainment]]'s fall.
* [[Les Yay]]: In ''[[Enter the Matrix]]'' there is a cinematic interlude where your hero (Niobe or Ghost - you must choose one of them before you start playing) has to kiss Persephone to gain access to a new level. However [[Girl
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Lachy Hulme as Sparks, sort of. He's still pretty obscure to American audiences, but he wound up on a lot of bloggers' radars when it was announced that he was one of the front-runners for the role of the Joker in ''[[The Dark Knight]]''.
* [[So Okay It'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.
