Hacking Enter The Matrix

Posted by simoniker on from the format-a: dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to Gamespy's new guide to the hacking section of Enter The Matrix. This extra section of the game brings up a DOS-style interface, even on Playstation 2/Xbox/Gamecube, and lets you 'hack' to get pictures, movies, and extras from the million-selling but still controversial Atari-published title. Reminds us a little of the low-profile but excellent PC/Mac hacking game, Uplink?

    controversial? huh?

    I'm confused, because a patch is released for a game and there is very little press about the game, that makes it controversial? the game was released right during the heart of E3, most websites more than likely had their hands full with E3.

    reviews are now plentiful now that E3 is over, you can find just a few of them here, here and here.

    I can see how you might be confused by the 'even on Playstation 2' comment, so I've changed the post to add Gamecube and Xbox, just in case :)

    And, yes, I know Uplink was mainly using a graphical interface, but figured it was still worth mentioning, because there aren't really that many hacking games out there, the themes are similar, and a lot of people have missed Uplink because it doesn't have a major publisher behind it, sadly.
