I just picked up this game the other day because I was looking forward to playing Tron on a handheld finally. The game has the voices of both Bruce Boxleitner(Tron and Alan themselves) and Rebecca Romign as Mercury from Tron 2.0 for PC. The game is played from isometric third person view(if you don't know what this is like, play Spyro or Everything or Nothing for GBA for an example). The game, while fun most of the time, can be frustrating as hell sometimes. The parts where you have to hack into a terminal can be very frustrating because sometimes where you put your piece to connect the nodes a time deductor will appear and take away precious time you need. Other than this part, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The light cycle parts are awesome for a handheld. And better yet, you have the original TRON and DISCS OF TRON arcade game to play right from the start. These games are not only great but they are some of the best licensed movie games ever made. Tron fans will definitely want to have this in their collection. (Don't forget to get the XBOX version as well when it comes out!!)

I was a fan of the Tron movie and of any Tron game every created, this games brings the Tron experience to full light. For the GBA, this is a great title though it does have some downfalls. The controls are a bit quirky sometimes when in the iso-view levels. But once you get used to them it's real easy to get around. The Light Cycles are a blast and I love blasting through the Recognizer and Tank levels. You gotta love the disc action! Just like in the movie you can block shots with the disc. they all bring back old memories! Hacking a terminal isn't too difficult in the beginning but as you go through the story mode, they become a bit more difficult to hack, though it is very possible. A bit of luck is sometimes required, when hacking a terminal, but you can always go back and do it again, after battling a few ENCOM Troopers, alerted to your presence. The story, though not the most in deapth story I've ever encountered, is nonethless apealing! The casual gamer may find this game interesting, depending their tastes, but to a Tron fan, it's quite a trip down memory lane!

This is a fun game, I played it on the DS Lite, not the GBA, but either way the controls are the same. That's my only complaint about this game, the controls can be difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it's alot of fun. I love the TRON series so this is a valuable addition to my library. I give it four stars due to the difficult controls, but it's a great game overall.

Although this game has the same name as the sadly underrated XBOX and PC game, (although that was only called Tron 2.0) it is not the same game. The main game is a somewhat unremarkable isometric platformer, but what really makes this package worthwhile is the mini-games and arcade emulations. First, we finally got a home version of the arcade game Tron, which was my personal favorite back in the 80s, as well as a home version of Disc Of Tron, another 80s classic, and both are very close to the arcade originals. Next there is a really good lightcycle game, and, finally, there is a first person tank game, and a version of what can only be called "Space Paranoids" straight out of the movie. Sure, you can buy this for the adventure portion, but the added stuff is where this really shines.

Let me start by being a bit honest here, the main reason I bought this is because I'm a huge fan of the movie. I was 9 when it came out, so I've seen it a few times over the years. The concept just seemed so cool. I even loved playing the original arcade game of it (which is why I need to pay more attention to details, imagine my pleasant surprise seeing it on here). As far as the actual game, the graphics are a tad above average, but it keeps in the spirit of the movie. The storyline, well they had to come up with some reason to make a game, doesn't have to be a great storyline, just needs to be there.
This is a good game because of the nostalgia (been using that word a lot in my reviews lately). SO, do I think it's the best game ever made? No. But it'll keep you entertained. And isn't that the reason you bought it in the first place?

Tron arcade, Discs of Tron , addictive mini puzzle games which may be better than the main story game. Battlezone style tank and recognizer battles. Light bikers and Bruce "Get out of our galaxy" Boxleitner. Nice to see a desent game boy cart for a change. Hey Jay, I'm gonna make a sark outfit and go control-alt-delete on you!
