Is there any way to watch the cut scenes and the movie scenes without playing each level?

I see there are a lot of AVI files in the movies directory, but they do not play in Quicktime or media player.

You run through the levels quickly using the invincibility cheat/hack

50 bucks just to watch some low-res deleted scenes. ouch.

C'mon ... I am playing the game, but I just dont want to wait until I finish the game to watch the scenes! It will take me ages.

Tsk...that's what's wrong with this country today

Why don't you kinda make a "game" of it... and the reward for playing through the game can be... let's see... the exclusive cut-scenes?

Or you could consult the "hacking" guide

I rented it and played through it with invincibility just to see the cutscenes.

I wouldn't have used the cheat, but the game sucked balls IMO and I wanted to get it over with ASAP.

Did anyone see the easter egg in the game?

Leave the main menu untouched and wait for a few minutes. The trailer for the game plays automatically, along with mini interviews from the cast and crew.

how is that an easter egg? half the games I own show the trailer if I leave em alone.

If it is not announced on the packaging or in the docs as a feature, and if it is not selectable as a menu feature, it is an easter egg by definition.

If by 'ages' you mean 4 hours, then yes...this game will take you 'ages' to complete.

I am currently in the middle of the following games:

Mafia
GTA : Vice City
Unreal 2
Splinter Cell
X2: wolverine's revenge
LOTR
ETM
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi outcast

I consider ETM less of a game and more of an extended MAtrix Reloaded/Animatrix experience. Compared to all other games ETM sucks and I just want to see the cut scenes and be done with it. Plus with the time it takes to play the other better games, I dont have the time to spend on ETM which is far worse than any of the others above.

But if you look at it as a movie and not as a game, it is less painful and more enjoyable. As a die-hard Matrix fan I do enjoy the FMVs and cut scenes tremendously.


Anyway thanks for the input from everyone here, negative or positive. Maybe it was a bad topic to discuss here, but the vehemence with which I have been denounced here was unwarranted. But it is OK as Triger and others have helped me out in other cases when I got stuck in a game.

Let's close the topic and move on.

4 hours is a long time if you hate the game like I did.

Another thing is I hardly get an hour a day to play due to family and kids and work. I have some games with me that I haven't even installed yet, like Tony Hawks 3.

I was helpful *and* offensive

That final hovercraft level... Jesus...

Now-now... you can then replay it with the other character! and play slightly different levels 10% of the time! :P

If I'd known it was that short, I would have just sucked it up and played through it instead of quitting after the first driving mission.

OK I need help in the level where Niobe has to save Ice and Corrupt. I am stuck trying to "destroy the three anchors at the base of the gear". What anchors on which gear? What do I do with the demo charge in my inventory? All I see is a circular tunnel the arrow points at but is barred from entering.

I don't remember... run around for a while and shoot stuff, you'll get it eventually. I was utterly amazed by the lack of any type of skill required to play this game. I still think it's moderatly fun... but I'll buy it when it's ten bucks, not what it is now...

When you save Ice and Corrupt from the SWAT members, then proceed up and over the railings, you'll see a spinning cylinder in a rotating gear with three blocks at the base . Go into first-person mode and shoot each one with your shotgun. It will bvlow the cylinder and drop it through the floor.

The graphics were laughable and the gameplay is not that great. But you have got to agree that the story is great (if you are a Matrix fan).

I see this less as a game and more as an interactive movie.

Even my 5 year old laughs at the ladder/fence climbing moves. Splinter cell had much better moves. But the focus feature is very cool.

I found a lot of the story to be pretty bad (trying to rehash the original too much, putting characters in stupid places that don't go along, logically, with the movie) with some of it really good (such as the airport.)

The focus feature is just a rehash of past games... you're right that the animation is bad... as are the graphics.. I actually think the fighting gameplay isn't that bad... it's just totally lacking any skill whats-so-ever.

Have you played Hitman 2? I think you might like it..kinda like Mafia

Not yet. Lately I have been thinking of getting Half Life, but then I have not finished any of the games that I already have. Too many games and too little time

GTA Vice City was something I really liked, even better than Mafia, but it keeps crashing my Win2K system.
