Tron 2.0 - Hands-On With Master Control

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a new Gamespot hands-on preview of the forthcoming PC title Tron 2.0. This FPS, which we featured a preview of last month, now has a fully playable early version, and the writer says that "..from what we've seen, Tron 2.0 seems to do a great job of capturing the essence of the original film, thanks to its distinctive art design." The preview also draws attention to the unique weaponry, which, yes, has you controlling Discs Of Tron, but there's a possible dealbreaker caveat: "..the game seems to offer a few more jump puzzles than we'd prefer for a first-person action game." However, this Monolith-developed title, which also includes a lightcycle racing section, "..still shows promise" - watch for it later in 2003.

Not only that....

"Check out the screen shots. The game almost has better special effects than the film itself :)"

I would go as far as to say that they are at least as good. Not only that, these effects on the game are rendered in real time. When the movie was made, each frame of the CGI took a very long time to render.
