Product Description

Editorial Review
Mega Man's sassy female rival now has her own game, and it has a unique style all of its own. The Misadventures of Tron Bonne takes Mega Man Legends' 3-D engine and sprinkles in elements of puzzle games, role-playing games, and of course, action games to produce a unique and challenging hybrid game.

Tron has several missions to complete-but she does get a little help from some mechanical friends. The anime-style character is able to control a number of different robots, including a mech with treads and a digger. These friendly little robots, known as Servbots, can scout out new items that help in the game-but they must first be trained. Each little robot seems to have its own personality and is prone to laziness unless properly inspired.

Tron Bonne seems to have just the right mix of graphics and gameplay, as well as cute voice acting and a memorable cast of characters. It may not be Mega Man Legends 2, but The Misadventures of Tron Bonne should satisfy fans of the popular series. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Adorable anime graphics
• Lots of variety and minigames

Cons:

• Game is painfully easy near the beginning

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny to the end!!!, December 8, 2000

By A Customer

I bought this game because I'm a fan of MegaMan since it's beginning... I really loved the villains in MegaMan Legends: The Bonne Family. And this games completely delivers the excitement and duty that being a villain must be... And Tron is really one of the cutest villains around! :) This time your job is (as pirates) get 1,000 000 Zenny to pay off a debt that Tron's bro Teisel (Funniest villain alive! :) has borrowed from Mister Loath to pay their ship: The Gesselchaft. With Teisel being kidnapped, Tron must get the money the Bonne Family way! :) Pirates steal things right? Well Tron steals things using her legion of 40 different Servbots and her 3 special robots she can pilot... (The Gustaff is really cool! :) A mix of puzzle, action and RPG; This games is really entertaining! You're going to fall for the Servbots (They're so cute!) as you realize they are almost unstoppable killing machines! Every servbot has a specific ability and personality and you can level them up through minigames. The details are really funny in this game. You will want to send your servbots (Using Beacon Bombs) checking out every items, Street Lamp, Mail Box, Big Rock, Pillar, bench and more because even if there is not anything to get there, they will perform various wacky and cute moves (i.e. Climb the Lamp, fall back down and cry). And the other thing that makes me laugh so much about the servbots is that they get Crushed, burned, smashed and they still survive and Tron is always strict with them and they are so happy when she's proud of them... (Just talking about this game makes me wanna play :) In other words, be open, check out everything and put yourself in the shoes of a villain "Who likes to steal treasures in a flamboyant way" :) and you'll love this game :)

Pros: You can develop the Servbots' abilities ~ Lots of different gameplay styles and details ~ You get attached to the characters and they are very funny

Cons: A little bit too easy in some levels ~ Some powerups and abilities you almost never get the chande to use to their full potential...

Must buy for any MegaMan fan! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Anarchy kawaii!, May 26, 2000

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

There's weird hybrids, and then there's "The Misadventures of Tron Bonne", which might best be described as a combination of single-player "Mario Party" with the inventorty and character interaction of a "Final Fantasy" game. But that description misses two important factors: wanton plunder and CUTE LITTLE SERVBOTS!

The goal of the game is to collect one-million zenny (a Capcom monetary unit) to pay off the Bonne family debts. The young, morally-unencumbered Tron is a mechanical whiz, so she sets off in the mighty ship Gesselschaff with its robotic crew to raise the funds the old-fashioned way: by stealing them.

The four major modes in the title are mini-games: two variants on dungeon-crawling, a puzzle section, and a 3-D platform shootout. Tron, usually piloting her mechanical mobile suit, Gustaff, is assisted by 40 cute-as-a-button "servbots". The great thing about the servbots is their absolute innocence in the service of piracy -- it's hilarious to blow the doors off a house, send in the servbots, and watch them run out yelling "yay!", their arms full of loot.

The servbots have distinct personalities, and unique skills that can be unlocked by giving each a unique object. They can also improve their core skills by playing still more mini-games aboard the ship. And for servbots that get lazy, there's a torture room where you're challenged to spike, torch, and flatten naughty servbots.

It's a peculiar mix, but open-minded gamers will love this title...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mega Man's Rival In Her Own Game, September 8, 2001

By	Richard Bryant "[e-mail]" (Rochester Hills, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

If you've ever played a Mega Man game,like me,you'll probably enjoy this.It's one good game.This is the plot:Tron's brother Teisel,has borrowed one million zenny(that's what money is called in case you didn't know)to work on the new ship Gesselchaft.He says he'll have to work hard to get it back,so he sets course for the ruins of Nakkai and a robot.When he gets to the ruins,he is taken away,so Tron and her adorable little Servbots intend to get
back the 1,000,000 zenny.This game is also funny at times.Plus,this game value of replay is great.It allows you to do lots of stuff with the Servbots too.You can train them,you can use them to fight,you can gain adjustments from them,you can even punish them when they get lazy! So I'll say this review in three words:This is excellent!
