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?

    I just want to point at that at no time during the movie did anyone "hack" the Matrix. Sure, Trinity is shown breaking into an unsecure computer while inside the Matrix, but that's really not the same thing.

      Doesn't the mere fact that they were manipulating the matrix to do what they wanted it to do qualify as a hack?

      Technically, the game happens alongside the movie. Just because Trinity/Neo/Morpheous didn't hack the Matrix in the movie, doesn't mean that Niobe or Ghost can't in the game.
