This is one of the better movie to game adaptions. They added FMV's with the actual actors that told the story from Ghost and Naobi, which all depends on the character you choose at the beginning. If this game was remade it would need to have controller support!

The great movie, the great game based on the Matrix movies. Now you can play it only if you have a DVD. We need this game on a game platform like GOG! This game must survive! :)

This game was probably the best movie tie-in game I've ever seen, simply because it actually ties into the movie and tells story that happens alongside it, with interconnected bits. Gameplay itself was fun as hell too, basically "rule of cool" in video game form. Also the hacking minigame was really neat way to unlock extra stuff. Granted, there was a lot of "jank", but overall it was simply fun. Shame that (from what I've seen) running it nowadays is a headache sadly
The memories of being in the post office in this game on the original GameCube were groundbreaking at the time. The game is incredibly unique, offering a solid selection of firearms and the thrill of non or slow-motion shootouts—such a fun experience! The ability to choose between characters like Ghost or Niobe was also a standout feature that made the game even more special.
I have so many games in my library that have a special place in my heart, but among them, Enter the Matrix definitely stands out among all the movie tie in games as being the #1 best tie in I've played. The 2000s nostalgia, the dual storylines, the references and backstory to the movies, the ending that leads into Revolutions. There's so much that this game does well and it absolutely should be preserved not just because of its importance to the Matrix storyline, but also 2000s culture as well as gaming history. Loved it on the Gamecube, and was very sad that it's not backwards compatible on the 360 with the original Xbox version. Truly a wonderful experience.
grałem w tą grę do 30 razy w ciągu lat jak miałem kompa z XP i Viste przechodziłem ją dni i tygodnie grając ją z płyty po polsku to jest początkowa gra przed path of neo.
Unbelievable so it's possible to get this and Path of Neo off of console? Oddly enough, this can run @ 60 on Xbox original but it's not consistent, still this is good news, I'll take it since I want to beat this game on PC now. Anything for this IP really, GoG restore this gem even if it's a meh gem, it's a gem nontheless from our 2000s gaming era.

One of the best movie tie-in games ever. Amazing score and even if the gameplay is a bit clunky, it's still worth playing, especially for the character-specific levels, which makes at least two playthroughs a must!
this game was janky as sh** but i loved every moment of it, at the time it blew my mind finding a whole other movie hidden in here with whole scenes recorded with the original actors made specifically for the game. one of my favourite cult classic games

What I really loved about this game was that you had to play the game to understand the story. I wish I could play the game again but I do not own the console version nor PC so whenever I watch the Matrix trilogy movies, it feels like I am missing something

Major Stryker
Major StrykerIn the not-so-distant future, the calamity of World War III led to eventual world peace. But, it didn't last. Earth was invaded by alien marauders - the Kretons. Earth's united military force, still depleted after the mighty onslaught of WWIII, was not nearly sufficient to repel the numerous Kreton attacks. It was discovered that the Kretons had used a wormhole to invade our region of space from their home worlds. And with that knowledge Earth called into action Major Harrison Stryker, hero of WWIII, to travel back through the wormhole and destroy the Kreton's home world headquarters. With almost no chance of success, you accept the mission...

Nuclear Strike
Nuclear StrikeNuclear Strike is a shooter video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1997. The game is the sequel to Soviet Strike and the fifth instalment in the Strike series, which began with Desert Strike on the Sega Genesis. The Soviet Strike development team also created Nuclear Strike. EA released a PC port the same year; THQ developed and in 1999 published a Nintendo 64 version called Nuclear Strike 64.

The player also commands ground troops in occasional real-time strategy sections. The game received positive, negative and mixed reviews. Critics noted a weak storyline, though GameSpot dismissed this is as unimportant in an action game. GameSpot called the graphics - which made use of specialised hardware such as 3Dfx Voodoo video cards and the N64 Expansion Pak - "about as good as it gets", while Allgame said they are "decent" and Daily Radar called them "horrible". Critics praised the full motion video as well as the music and sound effects. Reviewers enjoyed the straightforward gameplay but several complained of a close similarity to its predecessor Soviet Strike and questioned the game's value as a result.
