i don't mean to be rude, but what flaws? also, ETM was created as another part of the story; you can understand and enjoy the movies alone, but playing ETM, watching Animatrix and reading the comics allows a broader scope and better storytelling. also, the ending style is reminiscent of anime, which the brothers drew heavily on when making the series. the so-called "un-ending" of Revolutions is basically ending it like any anime is ended. And the "more questions than answers" is the point. The movies are designed to get you to think, and asking more questions with the end of the series is, specifically like every anime i have ever seen, and also makes you use the thing between your ears. i understand that you are a fan, and that you have seen them a million times, but believe me when i say, there is no other possible ending to the trilogy, that would make any sense and would end the trilogy.
btw, ETM was cross-platform, not only on PC, but also on Gamecube, PS2 and XBOX
Like JediHDM said, the Matrix has a very anime-ish feel. The ending, the fight scenes...very much like anime. And has anyone ever seen the anime Ghost in the Shell? If you're a Matrix fan and you haven't, I suggest that you watch it, because that's where a lot of inspiration for the Matrix came from.
And the whole point to the Animatrix and ETM and the comics is to add more to the story, but watching/playing/reading them isn't necessary to get the movies at the basic level; however, they DO answer some questions that are brought up but not addressed in the movies, or only glanced over.
And what's wrong with more questions than answers? Any good movie/TV show/anime will be like that, because it causes you to THINK. The Matrix isn't a movie that you can have just spoonfed to you, you have to actually make an effort to think about it and understand it.
The only thing I would change would be more time in the Super Burly Brawl at the end of Revolutions. My version would be even bigger. And like Pee Pants said, I would make the building collapse. I wouldn't take any of the flying out, I would just add more martial arts...like 10-15 minutes of it 💃 💃 💃 💃 💃
wow!....people are still going on about the ending and all that, geez, and as for people saying the CG is bad, i dont think so....espicially in Revolutions, its pretty damn amazing. I do agree about Tank as the operator, but what can you do, other then that, change nothing because all the movies are awsome..

i know, i had it on ps2, i was referring to matrix online pc wise, imo making u think is a great thing as far as the movies go, but sometimes it was reminiscent of star trek (of which im a fan) by adding uneccessary dialogue that didnt really have any purpose, not all dialogue was like that of course, but some of it was, thats what i hated. its ok to leave a few questions unanswered, in fact its good, but there were too many instances, those are the flaws imo.
one more thing iw oulda chnaged, i would've brought back the twins. the twins versus trin, morpheus and seraph. in the coat check room, right after they killed all the vampires and werewolves.
right after the las t pee-on drops-- camera adjusts to the center focusing on double doors. when the doors open, we see the twins *insert evil twin smirk here*... our heroes the open fire, but the twins go into ghost mode. they rematerialize right in front of our trio just when they've run out of bullets... then @ss kicking ensues.some serious martial arts action between twin no. 1 and seraph and between twin no.2 against trin and morpheus. by the end of the battle-- camera angle right above the fight and the twins plastered to the ground side by side.
