 An Absolute Killer GAME!!! May 8, 2006

Tron 2.0 Killer App is a port of the PC, but has some awesome bonus levels(light cycling levels) as well as XBOX LIVE (which unfortunately no one plays). This is a really fun game from a FPS,Vehicliar Light Cycles and some puzzles (but not as deep as the PC version). I love both the PC and the Xbox version so I am not biased about where it's played, it just is a great game that should be played by anyone who is a fan of Tron or FPS games. A MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEDED GAME!!

First off, there has been much confusion from lack of information on the web between this game and TRON 2.0. Well, I'm here to let you know- Tron 2.0 and Tron 2.0 Killer App are the same game. The differane being that Killer App has many extra fewatures available for the xbox including more multiplayer options, and of course XBOX Live.
Now, about the game. First off, the story is wonderful. It picks up modern day and continues the storyline from the origional TRON movie. Throughout the game, you slowly unfold the story of what has occurred during the intervening years. Much fun.
Graphics. Nice. Not fancy, but the idea is that it is still essentially the TRON universe, just updated a bit. The result being about what you'd expect.
Gameplay. Interesting. A little awkward with the upgrades, and annoyingly must be adjusted level by level. You can save at most points except during lightcycle races, which doesn't sound so bad, but when you meant to save right before the race and you don't and you want to go to bed or something- well, it gets annoying. Lots of weapons which are fun to play around with. There are 4 basic weapons each with 2-3 upgrades. Smooth gameplay otherwise. The only significant annoyance is the sound, which please see below. There are also one or two glitches. Also, the objectives list to occasionally check is completely unreadable. Completely. I could vaguely make out smudges in the shape of letters. It's probably readable except that the contrast of the letters against a similarly colored background (which is a green box which the objective is printed on) makes awful illegability
Sound. Okay, the voices are pretty low. Annoying at first, it gets increasingly irritating as occasionally you actually don't know what to do because you can't hear what you were told to do. Music and sounds effects are wonderful though, and fans of the movie will recognise many of the sound effects.
Overall. If you like Halo and other first person shooters, you'll like this. This also has the advantage that many people don't like blood- no blood here! Merely derezolution. It usually isn't too difficult to figure out where to go and what to do, and little need to worry about getting lost. Also, for those of you who are sick and tired of beating a game the first night you get it you probably don't need to worry about this. TRON 2.0 Killer App is a very long game, so while you pay a lot of money for it (as with most games these days) the game is so massive, so many multiplayer options (aside form the xbox live) that you actually feel like you get your money for it. And that's a nice change.
 Interesting level designs March 13, 2005

Tron 2.0
It really is sad when developers have such a good idea for a game but the end product falls short of fun and entertaining. I'm sure the fan boys out there are going to chew up my review for this but first, I don't think the movie Tron even made much of an impact at the box office. I think I first saw it in '92. I recently saw the game on the shelves and decided to give it a try.
The graphics of Killer App look really good. Granted the levels each consist of one color in a few different shades. None the less animation is smooth and I never incurred choppy graphics. Design of the levels, characters, weapons and light cycle all feel authentic. The sound is also well done especially with surround sound, but the bass was over done.
The game play was a poor experience. First of all the guns are horribly inaccurate do almost no damage except the sniper rifle. Unloading on your enemies quickly drains your energy level leaving you vulnerable and with only your disc as protection. Health also drains pretty fast. I am a huge fan of first person shooters and Killer App simply felt more like a platform adventure in a shooter engine. The enemies can be at the end of a vast stadium or expansive hallway and can hit you with bullseye accuracy from the first shot they fire. Thats fine, games are more fun when they're more challenging. However, most of the levels, you have to pay extremely close attention to your steps since you can easily fall off a catwalk to your doom; that takes away the tactical use of strafing and its just poor planning. The shooting part of the game makes for a frustrating experience since you WILL be swarmed by enemies with perfect accuracy and you have to juggle your attention between your energy bar, your aiming and your footing plus for the most part tracking down an objective you have no idea where to find and lastly the enemies that are respawning-think Halo legendary difficulty, with almost no ammo and no friends to help you.
Now I'm sure any huge computer dork would love the ability management system in the game. Not only is it poorly explained but its also another factor that holds back any fun in the game, as you have to aquire abilities and power them up. Why should that be so bad? because leveling up abilities DRAINS YOUR ENERGY BAR leaving you with even less precious ammo to use against the waves of deadeye drones trying to air you out. I won't even go into the plot as it doesn't matter.
I suppose the only thing I actually enjoyed in the game was the light cycles. Before you get all excited, there is very limited use of the cycles in the game, in fact almost none. In all Tron 2.0 Killer App is a graphically noble attempt at the FPS genre. The short comings far outweigh its attempt. Heres a quick summary of the experience:
read boring vague menu, more vague menu, kill 5 drones, miss a step and fall to death, retry---and it just loops over and over like that. Of course if you're a huge fan of the movie and enjoy platform games and enjoy "reading" a video game rather than playing it, look for Tron 2.0 in your local game store's bargain bin.
And one last note to the fan boys that love this game, I read an article recently that says the director of "The Princess Diares" will be releasing a new Tron movie-so look for a mediocre movie to go along with the bland game.
