  1. A shooter which genuinely does stand out from the crowd with distinction ' not an easy accomplishment for a genre which is flooded with clones and has-beens.
  2. A very solid game, especially for one that was released over a year ago on the PC. The transition to the Xbox was flawless, and the added multiplayer maps are just icing on the cake.
  3. The texture quality has been noticeably reduced, but the keen glow effect on all the characters and environments is meticulously preserved. [Jan 2005, p.86]
  4. The chances of this game appealing to anyone other than hardcore TRON watchers or the odd PC geek who happens to think that Windows XP is the best game on home computer, are slim to say the least. Look elsewhere for your first-person thrills.

    The art direction is spot-on as far as recreating the look of the movie and the music is good when it keeps to Wendy Carlos' themes from the film, but otherwise, I was genuinely dissappointed with this title. The game-play is so-so, the character system is gimmicky, the level design is linear like a bad mid-nineties title ( everything must be done in order or doors won't open, etc ), cutscenes cannot be skipped even though they rarely do much for immersion. Perhaps worst of all is that load-screens are both ubiquitous and never-ending. And since death comes swiftly and often, expect even more load-screens. In other words, forget about any feeling of narrative momentum. I wouldn't get this unless you have Buddha-level patience, feel like doing your taxes between levels, or are OCD about the Tron franchise. Expand

    Longing for an experience similar to the first time I watched TRON on the big screen 20 plus years ago; I found myself disappointed and dumbfounded by the 1997graphics weak story, even weaker voice acting, and horrible camera controls. Collapse

    This attempt to bring back a 20 year old movie into game form is just sad.
