Very enjoyable

Just finished Tron 2.0 and enjoyed it so much was poking around on the reviews to see what others thought. In my personal games list I wrote: "Very enjoyable first person shooter with some RPG elements for leveling character and weapons. Great sound and visual style. Linear game play but some replay-ability for those who wish to track down every last "build point" - might make sense when you play the game)." A previous reviewer recorded a number of issues they had with the game and I was sorry to read that. I had a different experience (everyone will!) and wanted to include my take as a recent player. The quick save option (good old games - new game auto saves suck! haha) was my saviour as I loved trying different things or jumping into different sketchy places and then quickly reloading and moving on. I found the different weapon types were interesting and I used them all in different circumstances. I actually liked how the same Energy was used to power everything and I had to manage that during my battles. I would usually start battles with some early power hits with weapons that used Energy and then go back to using Disc. The Tron Disk also became my go-to weapon and I often had to use the right mouse button to call it back when it went off course. That even became a strategy to call it back for repeated hits on bosses. Other apps for Stealth, Shield or Melee I would equip rarely but could be fun at times. Boss fights rarely required healing or energy for me (though some times I timed a dash during Boss weapon cool down). I searched out a sheltered "sniping" spot and kept launching Disc until it was over! For Corruption infection, I would remove infected apps then do "anti-virus". I found most Boss fights had a gimmick required that would defeat them more quickly but generally just blasting them until it was over did the trick. Overall I found the game holds up very well in visual, sound and game play and I enjoyed every minute of my experience.

About time I played this

No idea why I didn't try this sooner! The game is quite good and has aged very gracefully, too! Force anisotropic filtering via your video driver settings and grab the "Killer App" Mod from the web so you can get the game to run in nice 1080p and it is all good to go. Took a bit to get used to the gameplay, and some areas of the game definitely qualify as too difficult... BUT that is why cheats exist. ;) I like the story, it is engaging and for such an old game, it has a surprising amount of cutscenes and varied locations. There were a few bugs, I had a corrupted savegame once, and on several occasions the game hiccuped while loading the next level and had to be killed, but overall, considering it wasn't made for Win10, it runs quite well.

Tron 2.0 huge loveletter to Tron 1

I'll keep this pretty short and simple. Tron 2.0 really emerges you in its world. It's one of those "down the rabbit hole we go" games , like what bioshock does to you. The world still feels believable, real and alive. One of my favorite sounds from the original Tron movie was the Recognizer's. Was sad in Tron Legacy they didn't sound the same. Tron 2.0 they do and it's bad ass. The combat feels good blocking discs and the skill-up system is highly addicting.

As good as the first time

This was the first PC game I bought with my own money more than 20 years ago and its still as fun as the last time I finished it. You won't find a more unique setting than this coupled with an interesting inventory and upgrade system. Using the disc, which is you first weapon in the game, is so fun and versatile. You could go through the whole game with just that first weapon!

A fun game, if somewhat limited

I've attempted to get into this game several times in the years since I originally purchased it. Finally, I made a deliberate attempt to finish it over a winter break. I installed the Killer App Mod (highly recommended, by the way). It's fairly different to the sort of game that I usually play, but I enjoy the world of Tron, and was excited to experience more of it. Overall, I recommend playing the game, but I also realize that much of the game is an acquired taste due to it's slower nature. This game is fun experience once you can get into it, but occasionally janky platforming sections will have you dying and repeating certain sections over and over (for example, during a brief visit to Alan's old computer, you must cross a chasm on platforms that will be randomly shot out from under you by tanks. The pattern is seemingly random, and will likely kill you at least a few times. The RPG elements introduced are unique, but not in such a way that each playthrough will be dramatically different. Aesthetically, this game is amazing. The soundtrack is excellent at establishing the alien and electronic world of Tron. The graphics capture a very 2003 vision of the computer world, which is fun if you grew up in that time. This also means it is dramatically different than the colder, darker style of Tron: Legacy or Tron: Uprising. The story is unremarkable, but largely secondary to the gameplay, which is fine. Disc combat is fun, and while the game boasts a variety of other weapons, you will likely not even touch most of them. In my playthrough, I only really used the disc, the LOL (a sniper rifle), and the Sequencer (which lets you throw multiple discs without having to wait for the first disc to rebound to you again). Even then, both of those were used in very specific circumstances. Otherwise, the normal disc weapon was fine for the whole game. In conclusion, this game is fun. Enjoy an experience unlike anything else.
