Tron: Evolution Video Game - updated Tron 2.0 or spoilers?

Cool! And yeah, Amazon has really good shipping. I think they just post the 5-9 days just to protect themselves in case something goes wrong with the 3rd party carrier.

They also gave me 10.00 off a future purchase so i canceled and reordered deadspace 2 lol.

is the Wii version different aside from the graphics? as in, does it still have the extra plot the game gives?

 

[Wes R]

I'm not sure. Some of them are totally different. I know the PSP one is just stuff like the races and disc game. It may be that its just ps3 and 360 that get the game that carries on the storyline the most.

It looks like it does have a story, but not the same story.

Ah cool. I may have to get the PSP one. I think each game visits a different time in the history. Well the game should be here today or tomorrow. I'll give it a test run then i'm gonna wrap it up as an xmas gift to myself lol. Things are a bit lean this year gift wise thanks to my folks getting me the comp so i'm wrapping up stuff i've bought this month so i'm not done opening before they are.

It arrived today. it gets a 5 out of 10 so far. the camera and controls are the big issue. I spent a half hour in a fight with the boss character during the opening tutorial that could have taken 10 minutes or less if the buttons shown on the screen actually looked like the real buttons. I don't know what the button on screen was supposed to be but it sure wasn't the "b" button that did what needed done. I died 14 times during the tutorial alone and most of those were when the fancy running/jumping moves went badly. The good news is that if you die you almost instantly revive right where you were (so far). Story is interesting and doesn't really match up with the prequel comic as of yet.

edit: downgraded to 4 out of 10. The story's stalled and i'm sick of jumping form place to place only for the controls to mess up and me fall to my death. This should have been given to Square or Bioware to make using the final fantasy or Mass effect game engines. Actually how can the unreal engine be this bad when alot of games that use it are great. When the jumps and such do work they're amazing but its rare. The buttons I swear don't register you hitting them half the time either. Visuals are stunning and to be honest there are times while in game that its just as nice as the cut scenes. They also lose points for putting the items your'e to collect in spots that when you jump and get them you fall to your death and have to try and get them again and again.

... when you jump and get them you fall to your death and have to try and get them again and again.

it gets worse, wait until you get aboard Sarks / Clu's ship and have to jump around along the walls above the ceiling rails...

Had my 9 year old daughter not been watching me play, i'd have thrown my mouse through my monitor and then flushed my head down the toilet. near 100 consecutive deaths at the same damn spot... there are about 3 -4 completely unfair 'hurdles' you have to pass through-out the game.


once i figured out how to use the 4 different disc's e.g. bomb disc vs. 'antivirus' disc ( i can't recall what it is called) in the correct place, at the correct time, on the correct enemy... it got a lot easier...and allowed me to finish the game eventually... and found myself going back to play levels just for the fun of it... lol

I haven't gotten that far. I'm stuck trying to shut down a reactor as the virus guy tries to get in but i can't reach the high up control panel so i haven't played in days lol. I hate where they put some of the tron data to unlock the extras. What gets me is there are areas where the jumping and such works so beautifully that its a joy to do and other spots its just blech.

I haven't gotten that far. I'm stuck trying to shut down a reactor

that's a miserable scene to pass. but it was this scene that definitively taught me how to 'jump' - go to the left beam first and turn it blue, then run towards the next beam and jump up to that one and turn it blue...

next, i was working way to hard for this part, less is more in this case..

i don't know what system you are using but to wall-run or jump-pad jump, i have to press 'shift-forward' so what ever combo that is for you... just line up with the mark on the wall, and action run towards it and you auto run up the wall to the outcropping and hang... then it's just right+jump to the right outcropping, and then jump up to the higher fingerhold, then backwards+jump to leap to the column to your back... then right+jump 4 times until you work your way around the columns, then just jump.. or action+jump up to grab the edge of the column above you... and turn off the reactor... voilla... then run like hell to esscape the wrath of the infected guy chasing you.... good luck program...

 

[Wes R]

lol. It is areas like that i really wish the camera gave you a better view of where you were supposed to go to.
