Tron was a horrible movie. Tron 2.0 is a horrible game. Just the whole concept of tron is crap and too old to be any fun. No matter how updated the graphics are, tron games blow. This one included.

My review:

The Multiplayer game: Sucks Balls

The Graphics: Sucks Balls

Best liked feature: The Uninstall icon in start menu.

Overall verdict: Sucks Balls

At least it's good to know not to drop $50 on this title. Instead put it in the hardware upgrade general fund for more goods to run Half-Life 2 and Doom3 when they come out.

It's rough right now, but I think it could be a great game.

Problems: Disc control is too weak, you can't get it to curve enough so that it's useful enough to be a primary weapon.

Lightcycles: Turning takes too long or something. I need SNAPPY turning, like in armage tron, so I can double back on my own trail without delay.

I'm actually happy with the jumping air control.

Oh yeah, and the netcode needs to be lag fixed or at least release a stand alone server.

Finally, more multiplay modes. Arena challenge is okay, but we need some deathmatch and capture the flag modes.

No matter what game or how great it is, shackers always shit it down no matter what. I actually gave this game a chance and after some practice it's alot of fun imho. It's different, true, but it's not as bad as you guys pretend it to be. Geez get a life and learn to appeciate things sometimes.

I think with practice and no lag MP could be a lot of fun. I tried it last night but got on a server that pinged 90 in the browser but became 300+ when I got in. The waiting for rounds is major suckage, though.

just do

UnlockedLightCycleBikes8 = "LightCycleYellow_3"
UnlockedLightCycleBikes9 = "SuperCycle_Blue_1"
