Enter the Matrix is the first video game based on The Matrix series of films. It sold one million copies in its first eighteen days of release, 2.5 million over the first six weeks, and ultimately 5 million copies. Released in 2003, Enter the Matrix was simultaneously produced with The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions films. It was developed by Shiny Entertainment and published by Atari and WB Interactive for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and PC. It was published in Japan by Bandai. First released on 15 May 2003, the same day as The Matrix Reloaded's North American... release, Enter the Matrix gives players control of two of the supporting characters in that film, Ghost and Niobe, members of the same group of rebels as Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo, the protagonists in the films. Niobe is the Captain of the Logos, the fastest ship in the rebel fleet. Ghost is the ship's first mate and weapons guru, and a deep-thinking, philosophical assassin. The game takes place at roughly the same time as the events in The Matrix Reloaded. Players play as either Niobe or Ghost, each of whom have slight variations during their story.
