The 2003 tie-in video game to ''[[The Matrix (Film)|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 (Anime)|The Animatrix]]'' short "Final Flight of the Osiris", and weaves in and out of the plot of ''The Matrix Reloaded''.

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Ultimate Edition]] and would be interesting to see even for those who will find the graphics of the game itself long outdated to even bother with.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] - Comes with the territory given that this is part of the ''Matrix'' franchise, though some examples stand out more than others, such as Ghost shooting out the nose wheel of a Gulfstream jet from an airport control tower as the plane's beginning to take off, a feat even an expert sniper would find difficult to replicate.

* [[The Lancer]]: Story-wise, Ghost is this to Niobe. Gameplay-wise, though, he'll technically be the protagonist if you choose to play as him.

* [[Locked in The Dungeon]]: Either Niobe or Ghost (depending on who you play as) will end up in the Merovingian's dungeon in the chateau level, forcing the other to come rescue them.

* [[Missed Moment of Awesome]]: Because Niobe and Ghost's paths diverge at some points, there are a few inevitable ones. If you play as Ghost in the airport level, for example, you won't get to see Niobe's dramatic rescue of Axel. And if you play as Niobe, you won't get to see Ghost's fight with Trinity.
