Just some info for anyone planning to buy Tron: Evolution. :)


Multiplayer Skin List(copied from a post by EvolutionBaby on GameFAQs):

Quorra: Obtained by buying the game from GameStop.

Gibson: Obtained by buying the game from Best Buy.

Clu: Obtained by buying the game from Walmart.

Sam Flynn: A bonus skin obtained with any of the above three skins and obtainable in the Marketplace for MS Points.

Black Guard: Obtained in the newest map pack DLC (it's a bonus with it).



I only got the Sam Flynn skin when I bought the game because there isn't a Walmart, Best Buy or GameStop over here in Singapore. :(

I was thinking of getting this game but I see the review scores on it aren't that great.
In fact, for both the game and the movie, the critics are giving it average type scores.
Now I'm not one to always follow what the critics say, so I'll probably still get the game. But is it as repetitive as they claim it is?

Well to be perfectly honest, this game isn't spectacular but it's not that bad either.
The story mode can get pretty repetitive as half of it involves running off walls and climbing buildings but I never get bored of it. :P
As for the multiplayer, it's supposed to be a lot better than the single-player story mode but I have not tried it out yet so I have no idea how good it is.
Also, this game isn't one of those crappy movie tie-ins and it's actually a canon prequel to the film(Tron: Legacy).
As a Tron fan, I'd give this game 8.5/10.
As a video game critic, I'd give this game 7/10.

Out of curiosity, has anyone else actually watched Tron: Legacy yet? :P
To my surprise, some of my friends told me 2 days ago that they hadn't seen it yet so I convinced them to see it a few hours ago and well most the guys loved it but most of the girls didn't. X_D

I was lucky enough to be at the first ever screening of TRON: Legacy in my state, with one of my mates and his little brother. We arrived at the cinema about an hour early, expecting down-the-street lines. But because it was a Thursday, at about 1:30pm (woo school holidays!), there were only about another ten people in the cinema.

I have to say I actually really liked the film. I thought it was well-made, with awesome special effects, and that it was a worthy follow-on from the original. Everything, though upgraded (for example, the light cycle matches being multi-tiered), had the same feeling as the original, I thought, which was good. One thing I didn't understand, though, was why Clu/Kevin Flynn was so digitised. With today's technology, it would have been easy to have both characters appearing in the same shots without either being computer-generated, but at various points, they both appeared extremely digitally-enhanced. Additionally, Quorra was hot as hell, which made for some nice eye-candy. The friend I was with was outraged by this thought, and maintains that Gem (the evil blonde chick) is far more attractive. Unfortunately, he was defeated by a landslide in an unofficial poll he put on Facebook :P . Although Gem had more glamorous, model-type looks, she seemed pretty generic to me. Quorra had uniqueness and girl-next-door looks on her side.

Just in case any of you were wondering what I thought about the women in the film :P . Feel free to offer your opinions on this topic.

Cheers,
Franklint

Clu and Kevin Flynn(in the flashback) had unnatural looking faces because the SFX department had to digitally enhance Jeff Bridges' face to make him look young. I thought they did a pretty good job at it although I agree some parts did look a little weird.

And Quorra > Gem by far! Olivia Wilde~~ :wub:

Oh, really? That's cool, I never knew that. Interesting trivia, and that makes sense now that I think about it. Bridges is certainly getting on now.

I'm glad you agree Quorra is cooler!

I just watched Tron Legacy today and it was one of the best movies I've seen in years. Truly amazing and I loved the story. I re-watched the 1st Tron about 2 weeks ago online (streamed) and it was epic. I had seen the movie when I was younger, but now that I'm older I could actually understand a lot more of what they were talking about.

And FYI, the Tron Wii controllers are still only around $50-$60 on EBay. They have not (and I don't think they will) get up over $80 like the link that Corey posted. There is 20,000 of them made so it shouldn't be hard to get one.

Does anyone here have both a 3D TV and PS3? I'm wondering how good the 3D in Tron: Evolution looks. I can't test it myself because the PS3 version has 3D but 360 version doesn't and I don't have a 3D TV anyway. :(

If and when u get it, remember to try and buy it at Best Buy because the Gibson DLC skin is the coolest and rarest of the 3!

Shangyou, if you're hoping to get the orange 360 controller, you better have about $200 US or more saved up. They are super expensive, and the lower the number (out of 250) that it is... the more expensive it is.

For example, the link below shows the auction that I was watching of the orange controller that was #1 out of 250.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330515456026

:money: $610 :money:
