Summary
[Xbox Live Arcade] Discs of Tron, a follow-up 1983 arcade game, enables players to fight Sark, the defender of Master Control Program, in one-on-one battles taking place in three-dimensional futuristic arenas. Players must move between platforms while throwing energy-charged discs at Sark and deflecting oncoming discs to avoid being "derezzed." The game includes the original version as well as an enhanced version with new graphics and audio features. Through Xbox LIVE Arcade, players can also compete in both games against another player in four online modes. [Disney Interactive Studios]

Official Xbox Magazine
Old arcade pros will miss the coin-op's grippy spinner knob, but the right analog stick approximates it well; finesse players can still win games with superior targeting skill. [July 2007, p.79]
X360 Magazine UK
Discs of Tron does hold quite a bit of enjoyment, especially of the latter stages. [Issue#31, p.117]
Gaming Nexus
Too bad the game is not worth playing. Discs of Tron could have been an exciting action game, but the shallow gameplay keeps this game from ever being as entertaining as the movie.
Read Full Review >MS Xbox World
Discs of Tron on Xbox 360 is a good representation of how sloppy some of the Xbox Live Arcade games are at the moment.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
Despite the lacking port, the game is one of the more enjoyable super-vintage titles to appear on XBLA and it's a testament to the core design that its fun hasn't dulled too dramatically in the past twenty-five years.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Discs of Tron is a prettied-up port of an '80s arcade game that's barely even recommendable to die-hard Tron fans.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
An interesting blast from the past, but much like the visuals of the original film, it really doesn’t hold up over time.
Read Full Review >Totally360
A minor distraction perhaps but classic is reserved for titles that carry fond memories and are still as satisfying to play as they ever were, and Discs of Tron just doesn’t fit that description at all.
Read Full Review >Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Thoroughly unambitious. [June 2008, p.96]
IGN
It's a shame that a classic could be given such poor treatment with meager graphics, bad sound, and inaccurate controls. The one new element, the online multiplayer, runs poorly and is no fun to play. All-in-all, one of the worst XBLA ports to date.
Read Full Review >Team Xbox
Poor graphics, crippled controls, and a multiplayer option that feels like it’s been tacked on like an afterthought on a Post-It all add up to make this game one blast from the past that really should have stayed where it came from.
Read Full Review >GameZone
The game is 800 Microsoft points, and it is really something that they should just give away. Bad graphics, controls, sound and multiplayer means a bad game and it should not have been.

Without even a two-player mode, this won't last you ten minutes. [Aug 2007, p.103]
