Tron 2.0

Being based on a movie which, pretty much set the standarts on
digital worlds, and created by MONOLITH(creators of the increadible "No One Lives Forever" series),
the game is well designed, well built,
and with planty of gameplay,such as lightcycle races from the films, a nice array of standart and non-standart weapons based onthe film and the real world,nice locals representing different
hardware such as internet hubs,PCs,PDA,Routers and so on,
a good cast of characters(and voice actors, featuring REBECCA REMOIJN STAMOS(X-MEN) and BRUCE BROXLEINNTER(TRON,BABYLON 5),
and a good story which unfolds in a way movies atracts viewers
via (wicked)engine-based cut-scenes and gameplay.
YOU GOTTA TRY IT!
sci-fi fans(and everybody who loves PCs and films)
owe it to themselves...

Just another FPS...

This review is based upon the SP demo of the game.

I played both the lightcycle and First Person Shooter (FPS) levels provided in the demo. The lightcycle game looks interesting, although people without fast reflexes will be hard-pressed on anything but the easiest level of difficulty. The first FPS level, however, didn't strike me as that different from any of the other games of this genre that I've played. Almost immediately I was confronted with a jumping puzzle (land on the right block or fall to your death), and a get-the-right-keys-to-open-doors puzzle that basically just involved opening every "code box" to get the right keys to move on. The weapons were fairly common; the disk is a new twist at first but isn't really THAT different from the weapons you've seen before.

I'd recommend this to FPS enthusiasts, or people who are fans of Tron and haven't gotten over-exposed to the Quakes ad infinitum out there.

Get it for the light cycles

I admit I was a Tron freak way back when. I remember playing Tron disc games with a frisbee in grade school during recess. I assure anyone reading this review who isn't in their 30s, a movie like Tron really made us kids turned us into religious fanatics. I even have the remastered DVD release that my family finds annoying, for some reason, every time I pop it in to bring back those wonderful memories.

As for the PC game, Monolith did an excellent job in recreating the Tron atmosphere. The light cycle routine itself is phenomenal and works great as a stand alone game which would have blown my socks off even more had this been released in the early 80s. Problem is, the annoyances that are standard in Monolith games, are pretty apparent here. They definitely have a distinct, polished style of their own. But they never quite succeeded in the gameplay department. This is very apparent in Tron as much of your time is spent on jumping puzzles. I am not really one to complain of a jumping puzzle every now and then, but when I am thrown against a series of 50 or so moving platforms that could mean certain death when I don't time my jump just right, I really have to throw in the towel.

There is also too much of a 'find the key (or in Tron's case, a permission) and open the door' element in Tron. It is kind of sad that a game that looks this good, couldn't quite present something that is equally innovating in the gameplay department.

That being said, if you must buy the game, do so for the light cycles. The game itself should only be considered there for a curiosity.

Buggiest Game I have Ever Purchased

I have to admit that this review is not based upon gameplay, because I have been unable to play the game at all.

I am not a novice gamer. I have a brand new computer that runs an Athlon 3000, with nvidia fx5900 ultra and soundblaster 5.1. THIS GAME CRASHES CONSTANTLY. I can play for 5 minutes at a time, and then it's over. My whole system crashes, and my sound settings have to be reconfigured (not just for the game, I am talking about my whole computer). I have placed 4 support calls to Buena Vista Interactive, and no one there knows what to do, though none of them seem surprised at my problem.

I have updated all of my drivers--audio, video, and motherboard, and this game still will not function. Until a patch comes out that fixes all of these issues....do not buy this game!

TRON 2.0 multiplayer!

This game is going to rock the gaming world. Keep in mind that most 30somethings playing games today probably got the desire to play games due to Tron...
(It's the truth... you don't have to say it... we all know!) :D

Having only played the first level on the demo I can honestly say this game is going to live up to the hype. Everything is perfect... right down to the sound of conscript shoes clunking down electronic halls! Do not miss this game!

Take the good with the bad on this one

If you're a fan of the movie, you'll love the look, feel and sounds of this game. It does have some drawbacks:

1. There are emails in the game that are nearly worthless. They add some atmosphere, but that's about it.

2. They take away your disc at one point and give you a nearly worthless weapon. Then you're cast into areas where you have to fight multiple guards, which will undoubtedly lead you to do numerous save and restores. The weapon they give you is horrible - a tazer like pair of sticks that you can only use to kill 2 guards without recharging. And the recharge stations are in plain sight of other guards so you conveniently get killed as you try to charge your only (and not very effective) weapon.

3. The puzzles really aren't that hard to solve; it's surviving with a crap-ass weapon that's the challenge.

Other than that, the game has some killer visual effects (volumetric lighting is used a lot as characters and weapons glow).

In short, a lot of great graphics and sound with mediocre (and often frustrating) gameplay. If you like to cuss at your computer, this is your game!

Oh yeah!

From looking at the official Tron website every day this game looks like it's going to be a winner.What amazing graphics and sound this game has.I predict this will be the sleeper hit of the summer line up of games eclipsing a lot of better more anxiously waited games like D3.
hahah

Just played the Demo

I didn't even know about this game until yesterday. This is going to be the sleeper hit of the year, right up there with Half Life 2, the gameplay is different & a lot of fun.

Beware!

Beware! This game requires a very specific type of videocard and will not run without it! If you don't have a GEFORCE 2 class card then you've just bought yourself a [$] paperweight. (Or, if you opt to buy the card, you've just paid [$] for a videogame--buy a xbox, gamecube, or ps2 instead and save the trouble.)

WOW...Very good game!!!!
