Hello everyone,
Does any remember this older PC FPS game made by Monolith?
It was a sequel to the Eighties Disney movie TRON, and was to tie in to the movie of the same name.
Unfortunate for some reason Buena Vista/Disney decided to cancel the movie and only released the game, which I my opinion wasn't bad.
The little bastard could be very annoying from time to time but in general I did enjoy playing the game and I liked the art style of the world.
I actually picked up the game for only Ten Euro at a sales table of a big store, it probably had ended up there are the game failed to sell for full price, I don't think most gamers were much aware of its existence or felt that it could not compete with other games of the same genre.
Regarding the developer Monolith, I do feel that they belong on the list of great FPS developers such as Raven, ID software, and Valve.
They put some real work in the worlds they design and one thing I liked in Aliens VS Predator 2, TRON 2.0, and FEAR are the logs and messages a la Deus Ex you come across which give you more details about the location and the people who worked.
Why am I bringing up this game?
Well today while going through the games section of a local toy store I found its Gameboy Advance counterpart amongst the budget games for only 5 Euros.
It had a nice looking box which made it stand out for me and the price isn't that much that you have to worry that it is bad.
And it is not that bad either, okay it probably doesn't stand out much amongst other games for the GBA during the time it was released but it is enjoyable.
Unlike TRON 2.0 for the PC, in TRON 2.0 KILLER APP you don't play the role of Jet, but rather the original TRON program from the first movie who was put in stasis after the defeat of the MCP.
Now decades later a hacker has infiltrated the computer network of the company of the first movie and has unleashed a virus generating program called the Corrupter which is out to take control of the network for it's user.
The game is divided between 3D platforming, a First Person Shooter, and a couple of minigames that player has to complete.
All and all a nice combination.
