The exclusive 23 minutes of extra scenes shot for the game were included later in the Ultimate Matrix Collection as extra scenes for The Matrix Reloaded.

On August 31, 2003 has Enter the Matrix (PS2) won the Gold-Award from the German VUD (Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland - Entertainment Software Association Germany) for selling more then 100,000 (but less then 200,000) units in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The Wachowski brothers were so passionate about creating a genuine Matrix atmosphere that they wrote a 244 page script just for the game.

The poor reviews for Enter the Matrix inspired Warner Bros. to create a system where games created with WB licenses that got less than a 70% rating on average out of all game reviews would require extra royalties. This was created in an effort to minimize bad movie licensed games from Warner Bros. products.

The game features 1 hour of footage not seen in either the Matrix or Matrix Reloaded films. This footage was shot especially for the game by the Wachowski Brothers and features the supporting cast from Reloaded and Revolutions. Carrie-Ann Moss also makes a brief appearance as Trinity although Keanu Reeves (Neo) and Laurence Fishburn (Morpheous) are both absent.

The game was released the same day as the movie "Matrix Reloaded"

At the end of the game there is a trailer for Matrix Revolutions...

Throughout the movie, The Matrix Reloaded, there are numerous billboards to be seen. On these billboards are codes for the game. If you see the movie, remember what is displayed on the billboards, and you can find hidden cheats the next time you play.
