Windows 98/2000/Me/XP
Intel Pentium III 1.2GHz recommended
256Mb RAM recommended

Same here, I have it for PC but haven't installed it yet.

Still no reviews, either..

I'm trying to install it, but I'm having some strange issues with the installer. It's probably just my computer not wanting to install another game..

BTW, you need to have WMP 9 installed to play the game. It says it right on the box.

From what I've heard, this game goes into lots of detail about the actually storyline of The Matrix. It gives details and such that are not included within the movies.. and there's no spoilers either!

Oh, sick.. you HAVE to have WMP9?

Maybe I'll go with the Xbox after all.. I've heard some shady stuff about WMP9 (it's got a 46% rating on download.com..).

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I love trying new software. And I've been aching to try WMP9 for a while - it's got features that I've been waiting a long time for. But WMP is a major system component (and thus a major upgrade), and I fear that. I've yet to have a good experience upgrading to past versions of Windows Media Player.

and plus theres a little thing they dont really tell you straight up about it,.... once you install it, theres no uninstalling it

to get RID of it, you would have to do something like restore your system state from a previous backup..... lol

fun stuff, eh?

Getting back on-topic now..

I just played the game a bit. Controls are...ehhh....They're not polished. They're either not sensitive enough or too sensitive. Graphics are so-so.

I need more time to fully evaluate the game.

So am I--hell, I spent $440 last summer on a 3D card...I just don't go to LAN parties...

Not my thing...but yea, I just need more time about the game. The combat seems neat, but the controls are too touchy.

Well, still no reviews on this one, so keep us posted.

Hopefully I'll get around to playing it sometime this weekend. Even if the game isn't the best, it should have some interesting Matrix story-stuff (it's on 4 CDs for PC, so I'm thinking there must be a fair chunk of video..).
