Tron 2.0

I thought I would be biased, that the rose-tinted glasses of tiny me playing the game would eventually fade, that this game, like many others, was only good in my memory... BUT NO!!! NO! It is as good as I remember... MAYBE EVEN BETTER! A simple 10 to 20-hour adventure in a computer with interesting gun(disk?)play, very solid RPG mechanics, a good story, good performances from characters, the music slaps.. No really a very solid game... What? 10 euros? WITHOUT a discount? Really? At this price it may be one of the best games you could play in this genre... And if you like Tron, the only good game! Really these Monolith guys have done quite an impressive work, especially for 2003. I hope they are still around doing great and innovative games..........

A pretty good installment that could easily be considered a sequel to the film. For an FPS game, it has a fairly long gameplay, well-thought-out character development, and a unique storyline. The graphics still hold up to this day!

If you've never seen the film, Tron 2.0 offers plenty of excitement, although you might miss some subtle references. This game fulfills the dream many had since 1982 by seamlessly blending the computer and real worlds, creating a captivating and immersive experience.

The aesthetic of the game is nice and it does a nice job of maintaining a connection to the feel of the movie, but the gameplay is really lackluster. The weapons are ok(ish) on their own, but the game doesn't present enough opportunities to engage in decent combat. When traversing tight corridors something like the suffusion (aka shotgun) is good enough, but in open rooms the long range gun (inexplicably called the LOL, to capitalize on those early 2000s memes I guess) is pretty frustrating without a zoom function. Meanwhile the energy (your ammo) runs out quickly, leaving you with your disc, which is another "just ok" weapon, and never seems to do as much damage as the discs from the enemies. In short, the combat never feels like it gets into anything fast-paced, so you're constantly ducking behind things rather than any run-and-gun being possible. For games with more strategic combat this might work, but this just feels slow without any payoff. Overall the story is engaging, and the way emails that you find throughout that advance the plot is a nice touch, but plowing your way through the levels feels more like a slog than having fun.

Didn't like this game. The locations are just not interesting enough. It all look the same. No atmosphere at all. Only great gameplay may be. But that's not enough for me. I don't only want to play a game, I also want to be on a journey/ trip!
