PC: Enter the Matrix - FREE A/R

Awesome post. No tax or anything.

Not at all a good game, but for the cost of the rebate postage, I'll give it a try.

Good deal, but as Tiembo said, not at all a good game. It's alright, but they could have made it a lot better. Free is Free though.

Just asking here, but I heard this was the'buggiest game ever', aside form 'Lara Croft: AoD'... like it would loose saves a lot, wacky stuff would happen, crashes, etc.... has anyone played this? What would you reccomend?

It's kinda sad to see ETM join the bargain bin titles. What was supposed to be a killer game was rushed out the door in order to be released alongside Matrix Reloaded. Sure, it sold many copies and was a good move in the business sense, but gamers deserve better. Such is the case with many games...sometimes people can't see past the money.

Bump for the morning crew.

Too bad I bought it when it had the $30 rebate ($9.99 AR) from Amazon.
Less than a month ago, but no one does price protection on rebates, right?

 

[movinslow]

well, that was fast, but I think it's dead now...

I heard the same and even saw a video someone did to show off some of the silly game bugs.. I got a good laugh out of that. hehe..

But for me, no. I beat the game on PC with Ghost and had no crashes nor weird bugs. I also played halfway through with Niobe and same story. Game ran perfect.

There's only 2 complaints I had though. The game had the choppiest aiming ever in first person mode. But for some reason, I think the developers did that on purpose. And the game shipped without EAX HD support, although it's supposed to be there. It was quickly fixed with a patched a day or 2 after the game was released though.

I played through about 1/2 of the game with Niobe and just quit. It would crash constantly. The gameplay was very exciting and unique for about 5 minutes and then it wore off quickly. It got very monotonous. Run...Jump...Shoot...Slow-Motion-kung-fu some poor digital enemy...Repeat 10,000 times. Free still isn't enough for me to play that game again. They need to PAY me!

At least you could get it to install! I could not get a working installation despite three separate attempts on a Windows SE machine, and got repeated inappropriate error messages about inserting the wrong installation disk (there are 4, count 'em, 4 installation CDs with this game) while trying to install on a WinXP Pro machine---and that installation tanked also. I actually made some money on my purchase of the game via rebates and AMEX BVG pricematching, but it STILL wasn't worth it.

enter the matrix for the cost of postage sounds just about right
