(More customer reviews)As the title suggests, this game will most likely sell thanks to its namesake and all the fond memories that go along with it. Is that a bad thing, not really but is the trip down memory lane worth the cost of the full price of admission or should you wait and purchase your ticket when the prices come down? The answer is, it's best to wait honestly besides the history there's no real reason to pick this title up for full price.
If you're a big fan of the series (which I am and the main reason I picked it up) or have someone on your holiday shopping list that is then take the chance. The nostalgia alone may make for an enjoyable gaming experience. However anyone with no exposure to the franchise and/or grew up with the belief that videogames started with the PS3/Xbox 360 then you should probably stay away. Honestly there is nothing new or mind blowing here, just a game that's better suited for the PS2.
The cons:
1. The camera is horrible at best; it would have been so much better if it was fixed. The majority of the time you're fighting with the camera at the same time you're fighting with the enemies on the screen which doesn't make for a fun experience.
2. Speaking of the enemies, most of them are very easy and the few who aren't don't really take too long to figure out before you're able to make it through them.
3. The controls are very sensitive, push on the stick that controls the camera a little too hard and you could find yourself suffering from vertigo.
4. The environments are interesting at first but get stale quickly, visually nothing stunning or breathtaking, let's just say you won't find any of the scenery on the back of a postcard anytime soon.
5. The character designs seems as if they would be more at home on a last gen system, nothing really next gen here either.
6. Multiplayer is fun, but again will get old really quick. After a couple of matches I felt as if I experienced all there was to experience and didn't really feel compelled to go back to the grid (multiplayer).
The pros:
1. The history.
2. For being a game based on an 80's sci-fi movie the story isn't too bad, actually pretty entertaining.
3. The music.
4. Um.........I guess that's really all the pros.
Overall if you're a fan of Tron pick it up when it goes down in price by at least half, if you're not a fan wait until someone gives it to you as a gift.
