So close to being something great, but buggy as heck...
Right off the bat we had issues when I popped the disc into my computer. I got the TRON splash screen and then....nothing. It hangs at the TRON splash screen. I finally had to go onto the disc and find the Setup program and run it manually. Got the game installed, and it started up but the resolution was 640X480. What the heck? I went into the display settings, but the game apparently could not recognize that my computer was capable of anything above 680. I went online and found someone else who had encountered the same issue, and their solution was to go in and find the configuration file and actually manipulate it to allow for 1920 X 1080... Miraculously this worked! The FPS is still really crummy, though.
Once i got the game going, i tried the single player. For the most part it's playable.. The FPS stinks, but i can live with it. The sound fx and music are fantastic (they use the Daft Punk score as their soundtrack), and the world looks pretty. The camera is really fidgety, though. When it comes to some of the more intense wall-jumping sections you wind up losing the camera "under the floor", which can lead to some unfair deaths on your part. Luckily the game reloads quick and automatically, and you're usually not too far away from where you died.
The light cycle controls are terrible (i'm playing with an Xbox controller), but so far they're not gamebreaking in the singleplayer. You can usually suffer thru whatever you have to drive thru.
The combat is, for the most part, fun. Targeting is wonky at times, but again i can suffer thru it.
Of course, i had to try out the multiplayer. The disc combat, i have to confess, i am having a ton of fun with. Maybe it's because i've always been a Tron fanboy, but i've already put in a solid number of hours playing online disc battles. Yes, the targeting can muck up sometimes, but for some reason the FPS is much better for me in online matches, and if you get the right group of people going the games can be intense and fun, wall jumping at each other and the like.
The Light Cycle rounds kinda suffer due to the horrid controls, though. I only ever seem to get one map for those, and the entire game is about who can get to the Tank nodes first. The controls are so loose on the bikes, i find i have more success if i stay out of them and just throw my disc at people. Once someone else gets a tank, i just become a free HK till the round ends, no matter what i do. Maybe i just have to figure out how to counter tanks, but right now they seem OP.
Overall, i probably wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who isn't a Tron fan. That being said, if you ARE a Tron fan, and don't have access to an Xbox or a PS3.....Eh, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't enjoying some aspects of the game.
But man was it a pain to get going.
