The 2003 tie-in video game to ''[[The Matrix]]'' saga, '''''Enter the Matrix''''' follows Captain Niobe and the crew of the Logos and their side of the war. The narrative picks up just after the events of ''[[The Animatrix]]'' short "Final Flight of the Osiris", and weaves in and out of the plot of ''The Matrix Reloaded''. The game's creators insist that the ''Matrix'' saga is not complete without it.
Gameplay consists of a lot of running, fighting, slo-mo, shooting, driving and occasional problem-solving, as you use your free-minded character to take on endless [[Mooks]] and escape the occasional agent or two. (Or loads, in the case of Agent Smith.) The game is also notable for having over 40 minutes of live-action cutscenes shot alongside ''The Matrix Reloaded'' and utilizing its cast, sets and crew. That footage was later released separately on the [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]] and would be interesting to see even for those who will find the graphics of the game itself long outdated to even bother with.
At the time of its release, it had the biggest budget ever for a video game, perhaps due to its use of [[Serkis Folk]] and live-action cutscenes. Unfortunately, it was [[Christmas Rushed|rushed out in order to be released at the same time as]] ''

* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Ghost is apparently prone to this off-screen.

Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity only have a few fleeting appearances in cutscenes. Trinity is the only one who you actually encounter in gameplay, and only if you choose to play as Ghost.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: The Trainman makes a fleeting cameo in the cutscene at the end of the airport level. He didn't actually appear in the movies until ''Revolutions'', which came out after the game.
* [[Easy Level Trick]]: In one level you are evading an army of Smith clones around a city. However the entire level can be bypassed simply by heading right at the start of the level instead of left, as the game tells you.
* [[Empty Room Psych]]: When playing as Niobe, one level in the vampire mansion consists of walking from one door to another in the same room, then just loading the next level. Considering how dodgy the game was, chances are it was just oversight on someone's part.
* [[The Ghost]]: Oddly enough, ''[[The Hero|Neo]]''. He's constantly referred to, but he only actually appears in the scene where he saves Morpheus from the truck crash. In that scene, he doesn't even speak.
* [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot]]: Inverted. Ghost is a better marksman, so at several points during the shared missions he stays to cover Niobe's kung-fu from above.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In this game, it's revealed that Ghost has some strong romantic feelings for Trinity. He chooses to keep their relationship platonic, however, because he knows that she's in love with Neo.
* [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]]: Sparks is definitely guilty of this.
