When most gamers think of Tron, they cannot stop and think of an iconic video game and movie that is part of every gamers DNA in the video game community. When I think of Tron I see some of the roots of gaming and the start of video gaming culture. Also Tron symbolizes one of the game Elders looking down on us all in the gaming collective emanating awesomeness. Coming from the Arcades the place of my gaming origins it’s especially relevant.
Tron Legacy the video game out today PC, 360, PS3. So is it another shit movie game or something else that takes you into another virtual world that feels like your alternate home? Read the [In Reply] for the truth.

Like many I have been drooling over the footage of Tron Legacy(movie) it looks EPIC and seems to capture the feel of the material and surpasses my expectations of atmosphere and engrossing environment.
Well shit Tron Legacy came out today; you know I had to get it, even on the PC as well(time to pimp it). To be honest I bought the new Harry Potter game [Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1] a ways back and it sucked major moldy shit. The game felt not complete and played horrible, I hated it; my advice is no one under any circumstance should buy the game.
So did I waste more money and again unknowingly try to poison my beloved computer? OMG WTF this game is awesome and it’s a stupid movie game, well the movie does not look stupid. This is the first video game based on a movie that made me go “damn I hope the movie is as cool as the game†Tron Legacy the video game should not be missed.
Screens PC: ** the screens do not do the game justice at all, have to see it running **

Where to begin? The game uses Unreal 3 Engine, I know its old but it’s still awesome they have done an insane job on animation, textures, effects, special effects re creating the environments and very well done level design etc. Yes the graphics and detail are top notch.
My juices where fired up when I got in game, A lovely third person game very similar to Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands(which is in my opinion the best PP game ever made). The cool thing you can wall run like PP or Ninja Gaiden. At this point you may say WTF?
Let me explain, the gamplay is probably the biggest thing that stand out. The gameplay is so refined you can really tell the devs cared and did a good job. The animation is top notch. What is the gameplay? Well its like PP or Ninja Gaiden, combat and platforming but it’s all done in a choreographed style that you 100% control it just moves and plays so smooth. But the game has no sequences you control everything like PP or NG.
RPG light, yes, I love that my dream of RPGing the gaming world seems to be slowly happening. This is pretty cool, you lvl up gain new abilities and combos as well gain a sort of currency that lets you buy upgrades. Wow there is actually a lot depth to the game. Tron Legacy is 100% not like the usual movie game shit you are used to or think about that makes you vomit. The special attacks and moves are very entertaining and cool, you can find all sorts of cool things to platform and do in combat. Another nice touch is the mobs health bar is done so perfectly with a little triangle, seems irrelevant but so many games jack this up and the health bars never blend into the game. There are many cool subtle touches that are really nice.
Next the sound, one of the massive things I loved in Tron 2.0. The music in Legacy and the ambient is epic in this game its takes me to a happy place. That’s another thing I would love to be inserted into the Tron universe, the game really made it seem very cool and I wished it was possible.
Story seems pretty cool I want to know more, not sure if this has anything to do with the real movie as far as spoilers. You play as a Tron agent so I think it’s totally different side story that has nothing to do with the movie.
I am not sure how long this game is but so far I am very surprised how cool it is. Sure its not something totally new but then again what game is. The core game play is Prince of Persia and Ninja Gaiden but in a Tron universe but has this really cool taste to it, you will want to eat more and keep playing. The game has a massive city vibe to it or like your in a freaking weird computer hard to explain unless you have seen the old movie Tron, basically they got the vibe down pat.
Any ways I think I found another classic that will have a place in my library, hope some of you enjoy it like I am. Here is hoping the game is long and the movie is as cool as the game that comes out next week. Keep in mind I am not saying this is a bran new game never done before best game I have every played blah blah blah. All I am saying is I am very impressed and it’s very solid, entertaining and a visual and audio feast with great gameplay.
Awesome \m/ all in all a very entertaining third person combat/platformer that just makes you feel good when you play it.
Anyone check it out yet?
