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?

    A DOS-style interface? Uplink didn't have one of those. Uplink was more of a graphical hacking interface type thing than a command line hacking type thing.

    And what was with the "even on Playstation 2" remark? Is it harder to believe that it would have the feature on the PS2 than the xbox or GC?

    What really bothered me about Uplink was the IRC client "upgrade".

    Having a real IRC client in the game just blurred the boundary with reality just a little too much.
