  1. Instantly grabs you with its ultra-crisp graphics, which perfectly recall the mood of the film... excels in using the little touches to immerse the player in the computer world. [Oct 2003, p.140]

    One of the most polished and entertaining titles of 2003... A stellar game, one that dares to venture beyond the standard shooter formula and pulls it off with style.
  3. 100
    The game looks incredible on a P4 2.7 GHz with a Radeon 9800 Pro, but still looks extremely impressive (and played wonderfully) on an Athlon 1.7GHz running a lowly GeForce 3.
  4. It's stylish, fun, challenging and you really do feel as if you're playing a part in a sequel to a cult classic. That's all we were after.
  5. This has to be one of the most original games I’ve played in a long time, both because of the visionary graphics and the clever intertwining of FPS action and RPG elements.
  6. It just shows a great deal of polish, few if any bugs, and a general level of completeness that it seems so few games present these days, exuding none of that get-it-out-the-door churning of so many game productions. I’m going to call it the best FPS I’ve played this year, though with "Half-Life 2" still on deck, that title might not stand for long.
  7. The initial feeling in the first mission is one of uncanny newness. I can't remember ever being so quickly immersed or captivated by a world. [Oct 2003, p.75]
  8. A seamless blending of the computer and real worlds, this is the game that we all dreamed about playing back in 1982. If you've never seen the film, Tron 2.0 still offers plenty to please, but you may miss out on some of the more subtle references.
  9. Tron 2.0 reinvigorates the material and delivers an excellent gaming experience. The story is okay, definitely not classic material, but the ending of the game is so anticlimactic that I had to downgrade the score from 9.0 down to a still very respectable 8.9.
  10. No matter what you think of the movie, Tron 2.0 stands out as a thoroughly entertaining, infinitely playable, and visually spectacular experience. [Nov 2003, p.96]
  11. It manages to continually stun you with a look that's beautiful, cool, and totally different than everything else on the market. [Oct 2003, p.86]
  12. Tron 2.0 is a great example of a well executed movie-based game that exploits our nostalgia in all the right ways.
  13. What I encountered here was a very difficult combination: incredible creative innovation combined with a high degree of faithfulness to the original film.
  14. An outstanding game... The best movie-licensed game of the year is one of the best games of the year, period. [Oct 2003, p.114]
  15. Its intelligent combination of action and RPG elements offer a unique and rewarding gameplay experience. It also features visuals that amaze and a story that intrigues, TRON 2.0 is the definition of a great game.
  16. 100
    A brilliantly executed first-person adventure. [Oct 2003, p.64]
  17. Whether or not you're a fan of the movie, TRON 2.0 oozes with style and substance. Developer Monolith Productions deserves credit for creating one of the finest and most unique PC games of the year to date.
  18. A Triple-A production that delivers an equally impressive experience. I’ve found myself up late nights in the office wanting more till the very end and even then, it had left me craving for a bigger fix.

    Nah, sorry. After waiting expectantly for this game, I was very disappointed with the outcome. There are some nice touches like upgradeable software for weapons, utilities and armor that lend an almost RPG aspect to the game (but seem to make sod-all difference), and the graphics are beautiful - in fact, almost perfect. Voice acting is good, and the sound effects are pretty in keeping with the Tron universe. Unfortunately, the sound engine is dreadful - you cannot hear /anything/ that is more than about 6 feet (in real distance) away from you. The levels often manage to be both linear and annoyingly hard to navigate at the same time. The weapons are mostly reworkings of standard FPS fare, with the ubiquitous disc faring little better even though it's by far the best of the weapons. Story progression is through emails, but these cost energy to download. You also use energy to gain useful items and fire weapons. Thus, the story gets chucked in favour of survival. Not to mention the stupid damned jumping puzzles (I thought gaming had evolved beyond that?) and infuriating lightcycle sections (your opponents must be omnicognizant, or omnipotent, or something, because they can dodge your trail, double back and block you before you even realize that they've dodged your trail). It's a shame that Monolith couldn't have done more with the license - I bet it'd have made a great RPG, or even a great MMORPG. Sadly, we're stuck with it as it is. Full Review »

    An absolutely class game. Very original combat weapons, amazing graphics & good sound & music. A very atmospheric experience, with an excellent storyline. A definite for those that loved the film. I liked the modding aspects of the game, added more depth for me (you can enhance your weapons & also yourself). I hope there is a Tron 3.0. Full Review »
