10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Were VERY Successful

10. Enter The Matrix

The Matrix Reloaded had its moments, but it failed to recapture the magic of the original. Although there are plenty who still enjoyed the maligned sequel, the same cannot be said about the video game, Enter the Matrix, which was released at the same time.

This abominable movie tie-in was so rushed and unfinished, it couldn't win over the most die-hard Matrix fan. Due to its imprecise controls and shoddy camera, Enter the Matrix failed to emulate the bullet-time or the badass fight choreography - the two most iconic elements of the Wachowski's creation.

Despite being a mess, no one could fault Enter the Matrix's marketing. Hype for The Matrix Reloaded was through the roof, so it was no surprise its video game counterpart was advertised just as much. Because the game gave further insight on certain subplots in The Matrix Reloaded (supposedly), gamers had further incentive to check it out.

Within a month, Enter The Matrix sold 2.5 million units, making it the fastest-selling game in Atari's history. Selling five million units in total, Enter the Matrix did pretty well for itself, considering it's total crap.
