Tron 2.0: Killer App
Tron 2.0: Killer App
Tron 2.0: Killer App est un jeu de tir développé par Digital Eclipse et Lavastorm, et publié par Buena Vista Games. Sorti le 12 mai 2004 sur appareils mobiles anciens et Game Boy Advance, il s'agit d'un portage de Tron 2.0 en vue isométrique incluant deux jeux d'arcade bonus.
Dans ses retours, la presse a salué une aventure à la première personne brillamment exécutée selon GameNow, et GamePro a relevé que le jeu paraissait incroyable sur certaines configurations tout en restant extrêmement impressionnant sur d'autres. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont jugé qu'il s'agissait d'un opus plutôt bon pouvant facilement être considéré comme la suite du film, avec une durée de jeu assez longue pour un FPS, tandis que d'autres ont confié avoir craint d'être biaisés par la nostalgie de leur enfance en y rejouant.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A brilliantly executed first-person adventure. [Oct 2003, p.64] »
« The game looks incredible on a P4 2.7 GHz with a Radeon 9800 Pro, but still looks extremely impressive (and played wonderfully) on an Athlon 1.7GHz running a lowly GeForce 3. »
« This has to be one of the most original games I’ve played in a long time, both because of the visionary graphics and the clever intertwining of FPS action and RPG elements. »
« It just shows a great deal of polish, few if any bugs, and a general level of completeness that it seems so few games present these days, exuding none of that get-it-out-the-door churning of so many game productions. I’m going to call it the best FPS I’ve played this year, though with "Half-Life 2" still on deck, that title might not stand for long. »
« Its intelligent combination of action and RPG elements offer a unique and rewarding gameplay experience. It also features visuals that amaze and a story that intrigues, TRON 2.0 is the definition of a great game. »
« The initial feeling in the first mission is one of uncanny newness. I can't remember ever being so quickly immersed or captivated by a world. [Oct 2003, p.75] »
« No matter what you think of the movie, Tron 2.0 stands out as a thoroughly entertaining, infinitely playable, and visually spectacular experience. [Nov 2003, p.96] »
« A Triple-A production that delivers an equally impressive experience. I’ve found myself up late nights in the office wanting more till the very end and even then, it had left me craving for a bigger fix. »

« A pretty good installment that could easily be considered a sequel to the film. For an FPS game, it has a fairly long gameplay, well-thought-out character development, and a unique storyline. The graphics still hold up to this day! »
« I thought I would be biased, that the rose-tinted glasses of tiny me playing the game would eventually fade, that this game, like many others, was only good in my memory... BUT NO!!! NO! It is as good as I remember... MAYBE EVEN BETTER! A simple 10 to 20-hour adventure in a computer with interesting gun(disk?)play, very solid RPG mechanics, a good story, good performances from characters, the music slaps.. No really a very solid game... What? 10 euros? WITHOUT a discount? Really? At this price it may be one of the best games you could play in this genre... And if you like Tron, the only good game! Really these Monolith guys have done quite an impressive work, especially for 2003. I hope they are still around doing great and innovative games.......... »
« If you've never seen the film, Tron 2.0 offers plenty of excitement, although you might miss some subtle references. This game fulfills the dream many had since 1982 by seamlessly blending the computer and real worlds, creating a captivating and immersive experience. »
« The aesthetic of the game is nice and it does a nice job of maintaining a connection to the feel of the movie, but the gameplay is really lackluster. The weapons are ok(ish) on their own, but the game doesn't present enough opportunities to engage in decent combat. When traversing tight corridors something like the suffusion (aka shotgun) is good enough, but in open rooms the long range gun (inexplicably called the LOL, to capitalize on those early 2000s memes I guess) is pretty frustrating without a zoom function. Meanwhile the energy (your ammo) runs out quickly, leaving you with your disc, which is another "just ok" weapon, and never seems to do as much damage as the discs from the enemies. In short, the combat never feels like it gets into anything fast-paced, so you're constantly ducking behind things rather than any run-and-gun being possible. For games with more strategic combat this might work, but this just feels slow without any payoff. Overall the story is engaging, and the way emails that you find throughout that advance the plot is a nice touch, but plowing your way through the levels feels more like a slog than having fun. »
« This game sat unplayed on my shelf for a long time, because I thought it might be a bit meh. I was really surprised how good it was. It's old now, but give it a whirl. »
« One of the best cyberpunk games. Solid gameplay, great soundtrack and setting. Absolutely must play even in 2018. »
« I believe that Tron 2.0 is the game that *every* IT-oriented person (especially the young ones) must have. It strikes life into your dull digital assistants - you'll see for yourself that even them have their own life, heart, and feelings. I know - this sounds stupid, but only until you run Tron 2.0 first time. The game is very stylish - everything reminds that you're in the genuine Disney's Tron universe. Plus, it's a Monolith's game (NOLF 1&2, AvP 2, FEAR 1&2, Condemned 1&2). Do I need to say more :)? »
« Didn't like this game. The locations are just not interesting enough. It all look the same. No atmosphere at all. Only great gameplay may be. But that's not enough for me. I don't only want to play a game, I also want to be on a journey/ trip! »
