Visually, it looks good, but the substance is lacking. Bad targeting, no support, and broken stealth destroys the fun.

I really wanted to like this game. I'm a fan of the TRON milieu, and I enjoyed TRON 2.0, the previous entry in this world. This game could have been very good. They've got a good visual experience going, but the controls are iffy. The targeting is horrid, with it maintaining a target lock on enemies either out of range or on the other side of some kind of a physical block, while enemies much closer are beating the tar out of you. The constant camera angle freezes are really off-putting, and they happen at regular intervals and don't seem to have a purpose. They are especially maddening when you have a limited time to accomplish a task, and you all of a sudden have to use your direction keys in odd ways because you can't change your angle with the mouse. Moving diagonally during these times is a real trick. Also, apparently the very expensive (7MB) stealth mod does not work and the way the game is set up you can't go back and choose something different as it only retains a single save at the last checkpoint. I often gauge how good a game is by how much time I spend fighting enemies versus how much time I spend fighting the game itself. I can tell by how often I end up yelling at the monitor. I've spent quite quite a bit of time yelling at this one. I also haven't been able to find any support for this game, either at Disney website or Propaganda games' site. No forums, no support page, nothing. Overall, very disappointing.
