Much money ...

On the box it says:

1.2GHz CPU
256 MB RAM
4.3 GB free hard disk space
7200 RPM hard drive
36X CD drive
DirectX 9

Graphics cards are from GeForce 256 upwards but unless you have a GeForce 3 or above spec card I'd forget it

It looks a lot like Medal of Honour, AvP2, Hitman2 etc etc.

And you can turn of a fair bit of graphical stuff, so I'd give it a go.

Ohhhhhh I played some Matrix today. It really is shaping up to be the game Max Payne never was. The controls are a little odd and I'm re-configuring them as I go but the 'focus' (or bullet-time) is wonderful.

At first it seems that you just wildly punch the fire button and your character almost auto beats the crap out of the opponent, with an automatic array of kicks and punches. But I've been going back over the first easly level and there's a whole lot more to the controls. Depending on the way you use the mouse and keyboard you can set up wonderful combos of kicks punches blocks and throws. Almost like playing Virtua-fighter. I'm assuming I'm going to need to get a lot better at the fighting for when the game gets tougher later on (when I meet an Agent!)

Graphics are good, music is excellent and enemy AI is fine (HURRAH).

There's a combination of FMV, computer cutscenes and actaul game play. As the FMV uses characters from the motion picture the acting is top notch and not the usual cheesy rubbish you see in most games.

Early days yet but it's looking very nice so far.

Do all the major players from the film act in it (Reeves, Weaving, Fishburne, et al) :?:

A Twig · May 21, 2003, 06:47:13 PM

I believe so, apparently, the game is actualy like a fourth film??? FMV etc fills out the story line, and all the characters are in it.

U_Turn · May 21, 2003, 07:16:52 PM

i got them games AGES! ago.

smilodon · May 21, 2003, 08:50:17 PM

All the principle cast are in the game credits but so far only Niobe, Ghost and Sparks (crew of the Logos) and The Keymaker are rendered in the game. The rest are just FMV captured. The plot of the game weaves in and out of the plot of the film. I'm being wheeled out to see the film tomorrow afternoon (invalid is good) by my sister so I'll know better then.

The game is shaping up to be good without being great. If you're a Matrix fan then get it otherwise I think it's going to be a 75% to 85% game, so wait for the reviews and make up your own mind.

Well it turned out to be a load of cobblers in the end

But Vice City is looking very nice

Oh and I've got Ghost Master which I'll have a bash at this week.

Im about halfway through enter the matrix at the moment and i am enjoying the game in a sort of beat em up streets of rage type way

seem like quite a few bugs in the pc version but still playable...
