Check the rating. Amazing, isn't it?

BTW... I'd be laughing my butt off if the movie doesn't do as well as the game. That would be a riot, haha! (I'm saying that because the movie looks like a crappy B-Movie).

Agreed. the effects look cool, but effects are nothing without a good plot to back them up.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

While I know that movie-liscensed games aren't usually that great, I have difficulty finding it that amazing. I mean, Goldeneye 007 is one of the best games out there, and I don't think it's because of it's RPG-level story telling. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Some movies have great aspects that would make a good game (like the Matrix) but never created right (like the Matrix game) [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

Gamerankings shows that this game has an overall review rating of 86%! I never expected this game to be that good.

I think Enter the Matrix would'vbe been a great game if only they spent more time on it.
Even in its shoddy form I still enjoyed it. But its easy to see how well they could've done it if only it wasn't rushed to come out with the second movie.
As for the game in question, it looks fantastic. I wonder if its worth seeing the movie just to get more out of the game?

It's rare, but it happens. Some of the Bond games (based on the movies) have been pretty good, like Goldeneye. TWINE wasn't too bad either
