QuoteThat bad, huh? Trying to delete it already
I rented and i was wondering if anyone knew how to delete games?
Just kidding, I know what you mean, but no I don't. I plan on at least renting this soon.

Going by what they say, it seems like it's a "good" game. Not stunning, but not total crap (like the majority of movie based games are). I've had the demo on PS2 for a few days now, and I was very impressed by it. Graphics were nothing to write home about, but it is a demo.. And well, it's running on the PS2 ^^
The focus effect (bullet time) is no-where as good as you'd expect. Max Payne did it alot better. But yeah, I've decided to get this game when I gather the money.
Oh yeah, first game out that makes use of DivX, too!

I have noticed a few problems - I have my audio going through a receiver. There is an audible "pop" at times during FMV sequences as it switches between the game and the movies...I have also noticed some slow down in the frame rate...
Other than those minor problems - I am satisfied with the game.

At it's core, and despite all my gripes, it's still a very enjoyable game. And the live action cut-scenes are a must see. I would definately suggest a rental before you buy this one.

First of all, where is the Surround Sound!! What is up with a Matrix game that only runs in Mono and Stereo? Another gripe is the hit detection. It's marginal at best. While the moves are very well scripted, it takes something away when the guy you're attacking goes flying, but your kick mised him by about a foot. Also, sprinting with Ghost looks VERY FUNNY. Congrats to Shiny for awesome character design, the people in the game look really good. I do wish, however, that they'd put the same amount of detail into the vehicles. The cars in the game look absolutely fugly. The in-game cut-scenes are also an eyesore to look at. And those ladder climbing animations...
Do you have you audio connected to a receiver? I had it turned up loud last night and I thought it sounded very good (exlcuding those pops between game and FMV sequences). You're correct about the hit detection, but then again I find it to be like that with most games. The cars definitely could have been designed witha bit more thought, they don't look much different than something you found in an N-64 game, LOL. Overall though, it's an enjoyable game.

I thought that the matrix wasn't real, so it makes sense that you can hit someone and miss them, but they still feel the connection. You know what I'm saying, like they rendered it how they wanted it. Ok, I am just being smart. Yes that does suck.

that aside, the game did feel rushed and clunky.. the popup is pretty horrible, but framerates stayed smooth for the most part... shooting the guns feels a lot more difficult than it should.. i would say dead to rights had an awesome control set up for gun fights and i wish this game had the same kind of feel... instead it's hard to get a bead on your enemies and you can never tell if you're actually hitting them with your shots or not... the camera for the most part behaves by staying behind you until you go into kung fu fighting mode... but it does tend to screw up every once in awhile and leave you disoriented... graphics are highly average and looks pretty unpolished...
i hope it gets better as i continue to play it.

Hit detection goes from mediocre to downright horrible. When you're fighting multiple enemies, you don't mind so much if the game "cheats" for you, but when i was fighting three enemies, my kicked missed one of them by a good three feet, yet it still registered as a hit. Also annoying is when you're trying to hide behind something, and you're getting hit through whatever you're hiding. i could easily go on about the lack of polish, but it's a dead issue. As it stands now the game isn't very fun, but i'm only a couple hours into it.
The box says it uses Pro Logic II, but i can't tell if it really does or not (it's late; gotta keep the sound down). Seems like it does because i've heard the sound of bullets streaming by via my surround speakers, which would mean it at least supports Pro Logic.

I saw the movie yesterday and I liked it alot ( it is a good movie but not great too ) and after playing this game I think it is a good companion piece to the movie. I love the shootout on the freeway. IF you haven't seen the movie yet DO NOT PLAY THE GAME... the game has alot of scenes from the movie. If you liked the movie you should like the game because it puts you in the movie. I'd have to say it is the best video game to actually put you in the movie because of all the cooperation it got from the movie.
