Tron: Evolution for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Being a Tron fan since the 80's, I couldn't wait to play this game after reading and watching the trailers. I normally think games made after movies are just "fan service", but this is one exception I think truly belongs as a video game (in fact, they could have made the game and not the movie in this case - lol. But no, both work together - that's the formula.)

My focus is on the experience of the gameplay, and how it meshes with the larger storyline of the Tron world. I rarely "complete" an entire game so I'm not concerned with how "long" it is, although I understand to many that's a big deal. After completing the levels, every additional hour must be considered "replay value" anyway.

Appearance/Graphics: To me, this was an amazing 3D experience. I was impressed by the crystal clear HD world that was created here. The ambience music/sound set the atmosphere, and I felt like I was "in" the movie, seeing some "missing scenes." I must critique the movie for a moment: between the product placement, and storyline about ISOs and programs running amuck and starting revolutions, the film characters and points were under-developed in some parts and they could/should have done a lot more with it, but they didn't. I think the game helps the movie a LOT.

Gameplay: running through the 3-D obstacle course, finding items, mastering tricky, advanced jumping moves, I was very satisfied with the tight, yet fluid controls and movements. The in-between hand-to-hand combat parts were exciting and kept me interested in learning the attack combos and various powerups in the game.

I like how the action is broken up between the exploration, the battles, the upgrading, the lightcycles, etc. Delivered all I expected, never got bored. Overall, great game!
