Here's an in-game screenshot of my game progress in Tron 2.0. Yes, I am addicted.

I am currently Version 7.4.0 and am trying to figure out a good route to finish this particular mission.

Love the multiplayer demo! However, my instincts tell me this great game will be in the bargin bin in a few months.

Greg:

Sad, but more than likely true... I love the game and think it has great replayability. However, I don't think it will appeal to the younger crowd, at least not for very long. I have to admit, when Doom 3 and Half Life 2 come out, I'll be all over those too.

I just downloaded the 200+MB gold demo, and have spent a few hours completing it (including getting the Blaster). Unfortunately, I have to agree with one of the reviews I read - it's a average first person shooter.

First, I you are going to release a 200+MB demo (and what the heck is taking up 200MB in this one level demo?), a separately downloadable test program might be a good idea. Fortunately, my PC was up to the task.

Okay, things I liked:
1 - It's TRON. The game looks is like the movie, only better. And there's all kinds of little touches (like the lean & peek) from the movie too.
2 - Umm, there's some neat FPS stuff (like the shock-sticks, and the cluster disc), and some amusing dialog.

Things I hated:
1 - The whole saving / jumping / falling / dying / loading got very old getting to the Blaster (which wasn't worth the effort)
2 - Single shot weapons with long reload times and multiple attackers don't mix. Especially when the attackers are better shots than you are.
3 - Why can't I remap the keyboard? (Especially for the lightcycles.) Changing weapons is an annoying two step process too.

The lightcycle mini-game is neat, though so far I've found the best strategy is to run away and let the computer-controlled bikes kill themselves. Going head-to-head with the computer, which can react quicker and turn quicker & more accurately, a recipe for doom. A shield-breaker helps, but is not enough.

As Gregory said, I'll wait until I see it in the bargain bin.

Of course, you could forgoe the whole 'buying Tron 2.0' thing and get yourself a free download of GLTron, which I discovered today. An absolutely awesome 3D lightcycle game with all film graphics and soundfx intact:)
Not quite the scope of Tron 2.0 but a heck of a lot of fun (and the control system is TWO KEYS!! )

Updated: Version 9.2.2 now and still going.

It does look gorgeous. Come on Aspyr, Mac version please:)

liveinabin-

i have to agree, a mac version is needed, but if the pc version ends up in the bargin bin soon, there will never be a mac version.

GLTRON is a good game, but I find it a bit boring since the computer riders dont go after anyone, they just drive around and try to live as long as they can, i found going after them only killed myself as i would always turn just a bit too prematurly attempting to cut them off.

an online version of GLTRON would be great so human vs human games could be done.

GLTron ROCKS. By far the best light cycle game ever. Actually haven't played it in a while, think I'll go download it again

Ron is almost done...that is nearly the end of the game where your at. Just be careful for the falling pillars...hehe...

If you don't know what I am talking about...you will. And you though Datawraiths were...hard....wait until you see the last boss...Hope you have lots of health and energy ready...hehe

As per usual...the ending is well...an ending...I don't want to give away anything.

Crossbow:

Yep, that last boss was a toughie. I've updated the ingame screenshot above to show the game complete message and my final version # (9.6.4). Now I have to crank up the difficulty to Insane and play again.
