The phenomenon that is Tron. A revisitation of an 80's classic film.

My brother and I still continue to quote lines from the original film (we also await the time in the future when Nvidia releases the 10,000 GT card and someone has the bells to revamp Robocop). If you didn't play your first games on a Commodore or a Kaypro, you might not get this game. They did update the terminology quite extensively, and even got two of the main actors to lend their voice talents. Apparently Jeff Bridges was too big for this which is disappointing. Even a slight cameo would have made this game a "perfect". The score is tremendous because it was composed by the original composer Walter (now "Wendy") Carlos. Many may remember him from the Excorsist theme, Tubular Bells. The weaving and tying together of the film with the game were quite impressive. The graphics aren't amazing, but they do capture the warped mood of the movie, only it's an "updated" warped mood, which is refreshing. I wasn't expecting the original movie, but I was hoping they would evolve the game correctly, which they did. It was like playing a well made sequel, and I think that was the intent of the publishers, so, mission accomplished. Two thumbs up here. I would have liked to have played as a recognizer though...sigh.
