*SPOILERS* The Official Enter The Matrix Topic

[ROC]

I decided to start this topic to ask questions for those who've played ETM.

First question, how much relevance does it have to the trilogy in general? (i.e. Does the trilogy make better sense after playing the game?)

[Your Mom]

When I played it just showed what Jada was doing in between her rare appearances in the movies. And it's the real actors that kiss by the way.

Hmmm, you know I still won't play the game anyway. Again, one make out doesn't make a crappy game better. Just asking theother question, again to see if it has any relevance other than just tieing in to the release of Reloaded and Revolutions.

[tristy]

I told you so.

I want $20. now.

I think they are inserting all of the cutscenes from the game into Reloaded in the big Trilogy Boxset coming before Christmas.

I think Reloaded is gonna be over 3 hours.

So yes, it does have some impact on the story when put in the whole thing.

I want that boxset under my tree for Christmas especially since I've been a fan of the trilogy.

It's should be $50 US right?

They better do the same thing for R1. If so, then that thing is definitely going under the tree this Christmas.

Great. Just what I want to hear.

More interviews with the stars from the film putting it over.

Not that I have anything against The Matrix. I love The Matrix. I just feel that adding all the scenes from Enter The Matrix to The Matrix Reloaded really kills some of it, particularly the identical scenes involving Ghost and Niobe. Does Persephone REALLY need to say the same damn thing twice?

And second...

I wonder if they're going to have an interview with Linda Wachowski, formely known as LARRY Wachowski.

Yes, you read that right.

Seriously. You did. I say again. You read that right

But back to the topic at hand...

The game "Enter The Matrix" doesn't really do jack for the movies. Just some FMVs. But still, one of my favorites include

****SPOILER ALERT! WOO-OOO WOO-OOO WOO-OOO****

Okay, you've been warned!

Niobe running into Smith in the back door program.

NIOBE: Who are you?

SMITH: Who am I? You could say that I'm the Alpha...

(Another Smith appears from one of the doors)

SMITH 2: Of your Omega.

(Another Smith appears)

SMITH 3: I am the begining....

(Another Smith appears)

SMITH 4: Of your end.

I doubt the Wachowskis will have anything to do with this....I bet they are still on the "let it speak for itself" kick.

Code for...

"We put out a quick two sequels that were really pretty lame outside of the CGI action we didn't really need."

[Mortis]

The game is pretty good if you look at it alone. But if you compare it to any of the movies, it fails short in comparison. Do not buy the game unless your going to look at it that way, or you'll be severely dissapointed.
