Enter The Matrix

Of course, if the game does all the above well it would be a bit of a one trick poney, but it does everything well, and thats what makes it so damn impressive. All the characters in the game have been lovingly modeled on their real life counterparts, via the use of a motion capture system. The advantages of this are numerous; their bodies move better and you get a sense that you are them, and not just somone with a controler. The fight scenes are intense to say the least, with pieces of walls flying arond all over the place as you run and flip your way to what you hope will be victory.

 

This game is clearly a labour of love, with so much effort being put in, it would be criminal if it didn't work out. All the voices are done by the real cast, and it is all totally in synch. The costumes have been designed by the person who did the same thing on the film, and ever decision has to be passed through the creative eyes of the Wachiski-whatever brothers.

 

This is very much how games in this vein should be done. All the resources available from the movie are being used, and the two projects are both being developed in conjunction with one another.

If cool were to be personified, this game would fit the bill to perfection. The entire idea is just so appealing that it just oozes with ideas.

 

One final thing, and how about this for an idea. The developers are going to let you hack into the game! This will work, by you, like a true computer nut, sitting there trying to crack the system, and get your way through the matrix in order to gain access to deliberate mistakes in the games code. This will mean you can change the way in which the game works, the only problem being, it is a damn hard code to crack...
