8 Bad Video Games EVERYONE Played (And Beat!)
8. Enter the Matrix
It's basically impossible to overstate the hype for the Matrix sequels in 2003, to which end a tie-in video game, Enter the Matrix, was released the very same day that The Matrix Reloaded hit cinemas around the world.
Even accepting that the game didn't allow players to control Neo - switching instead between supporting characters Niobe and Ghost - the promise that the game's story was directly linked to that of the movie sequels, and would even feature oodles of live-action video starring the cast of the films, made it a commercial smash hit.
Enter the Matrix sold over 5 million units within its first year of release, no matter that it its central gameplay was woefully clunky - whether in combat or driving a car - and the storyline made for an ultimately forgettable addition to the Matrix canon.
And yet, because the marketing played-up the fact that beating the game would unlock a new trailer for the third Matrix film, The Matrix Revolutions, of course we all played it to the end.
