Closing comments from the review by IGN's Hilary Goldstein:
"The original Discs of Tron is one of my favorite games ever made. Anyone who only experiences Discs of Tron through this poor port won't understand why this game was ever held in high regard. It's a shame that a classic could be given such poor treatment with meager graphics, bad sound, and inaccurate controls. The one new element, the online multiplayer, runs poorly and is no fun to play. All-in-all, one of the worst XBLA ports to date."
GameBlurb writes, "Instead of making another full-blown review on just Tron Evolution, we decided that if only seemed fair to review all Tron games, just in case you either don’t know/understand the hoopla or maybe missed one and are thinking of backlogging."
I've never played any Tron game, let alone saw the Tron arcades back in the day :( Then again it was quite before my time, haha.
I've never played a Tron game either, but I did enjoy Tron Legacy at the cinema. That'll look good on Blu.
Console Monster writes: "You know those researchers that say that playing video games can actually stimulate the brain? They say that it can help with hand-eye coordination and reaction time and all that good stuff? Well those researchers probably weren't even thinking of a game like Discs of Tron, which was made in 1983 and applied to their theory, but I think it does.
Discs of Tron is not your typical 80's game. You aren't blasting away at little bugs, space aliens or trying to eat ghosts who turn blue. No, it's actually much simpler than that. Hit your opponent, Sark, with a disc and don't let the opponent hit you with theirs. The concept itself isn't difficult and mastering Discs of Tron with so many other things going on in the game is not..."
you people reporting this much because the image isn't bright enough lmao.
do you even care about the image or just wanna report this guy
Discs of Tron on Xbox 360 is a good representation of how sloppy some of the Xbox Live Arcade games are at the moment. Now and again you get the arcade game which is worth its money, that's if you can trundle through the pointless ports, like this one, which really should be free.
MSXbox World would only recommend this game to you if you're trying to build up a collection of classic arcade games, or, if you want some easy gamer points. If you buy this game for any other reason MSXbox World can almost certainly say you'll be disappointed, they would advise you to look else where.
