    As an avid video gameplayer I will be honest when saying this game as a movie tie in game like all other movie tie in games will suck a big beef chode.

    @noamjamski: you show me one i'll show you a thousand. next your going to say the Avatar game looks good. and the riddick game came out at least few years after the movie and before the second film so I would hardly call it a tie in and more of an attempt to make a multimedia franchise and that game definitely had it's issues and was medicore at best and really just surprised everyone at being competent. and the recent dark athena is balls on my forehead. BOOM! go to bed.

    As an avid video game player, I'm guessing you've played Tron 2.0? If not, you should. One of the few downsides to it are the lightcycle races. Hopefully there will be some sandboxish lightcycle play in the new game.

    @Gene Kennett: again like riddick an all right game with many glitches and could have used a few more months of work and a couple more beta testers. atl east riddick had some interesting gameplay mechanics, tron 2.0 was a generic shooter with tron frosting on top of it. please kids your out of your element here. I will remember this and when the game comes out and blows ass I will personally message all you so you will feel thwe internet shame of being, WRONG!

    @Gene Kennett: Agreed (and just to clarify, we're talking about the game Tron 2.0 as seen in the embedded video here, NOT the forthcoming game). It was an incredibly inventive & beautiful game, and also very respectful of the 1982 film.

    @Dash_Stryker: Haha, yeah right. Come on, Tron 2.0 generic?! Far from it. It came with a simple, but also intuitive and original offence/defence weapon system(stick to the disc!) and rpg style leveling. Story was pretty good too and the world was beautifully designed. The game got lots of good reviews back in the days and deserved every one of them. Oh, and it had lightcycles too:-)
    Btw, I finished Tron 2.0 two times now and never encountered any glitches. You sure you know what you're talking about?
    In case you want to refresh your memory before you go to bed;-)

    @BlushResponse: Very respectful, very pretty, very nice gameplay ... and a story which is the poster child for "Shit, we ran out of time to finish this properly." - it starts out so well, and then the last few levels just go completely to hell, story-wise. It's a damn shame.

    I will always remember the -awesome- custom made Ouija boards I saw at the SD ComicCon in '07. Apparently, they are made using a lazer cutter/engraver/pyrographer via vector art... the artist made Star Wars, Star Trek themed boards, ect.
    Anyone know who this is? Awesome work, never got a business card... #tronlegacy

    Casting Alert!!

    Signed to play the part of "Board, Ouija" : Keanu Reeves.

    Said the director - "he has the perfect balance of star power and personality to really bring life to the board."

    I think Hollywood believes Jumanji can work with less interesting board games. And Jumanji wasn't even that fun when played in real life (I never got to play it, but thinking about it now, it would probably be pretty boring).

    The Monopoly film will only be good if the film ends with all the characters getting in a physical altercation and someone is sent to the hospital. #tronlegacy

    @Emily Bryan-Reeder: and a pretty sweet one at that. There was a post-movie game, though. I've played it, it was one of those co-operative us against the game type things. we never won because my friends are so competitive the teamwork aspect was lost on them. At least it was better than Zathura. that board game stank. #tronlegacy

    I've been there!...I wasn't bored, but being alone in eastern Morocco is can be kinds scary...
