I did not expect to love Tron as much as I do. I got a sweet deal on a Pro model, and thought it was a low risk acquisition. Then I started modding it out like a fiend. This game is the ultimate bling machine. You can add a TON of tasteful mods to it, and they all look as though they belong there. Eli Ramps, Lightcycles, Rectifier, etc etc. If you like modding, this machine is a dream. What really made me love this game though, is the way you work towards Sea of Simulation, and ultimately Portal. It's a really unique rule set. You must at least START each of the none modes to reach SOS, and then that precursor Wizard mode allows you to try to fill in all the blanks, and set up to attain Portal. It's a very cool concept. Once you get there, and require 75 shots to complete the modes, you realize you need to be a lot more diligent about completing your modes along the way. If you can make it to SOS with only a few inserts left flashing, you know you have a shot at Portal. Making there is a GREAT feeling. Very rewarding. So glad I picked this one up. ATTACH A SUB to this machine. It simply brings this pin to life. All the low end Daft Punk music will explode through the sub. In my opinion, it's the most important mod you can do to this machine, followed closely by Eli's Ramp Mod.

OUTSTANDING - Overall, Tron Legacy has excellent playability with a good rule set that is deep enough for an advanced player to enjoy but not so deep that a novice still can't have fun and get a multi-ball or advanced mode. Some of the shots are difficult but overall play is fast and really enjoyable for what I anticipate to be many years of challenge.

I hate the theme and that probably is a big reason I can't stand this pin, although its also boring and very overrated for where it is ranked. I wouldn't drop another quarter in it much less own it.

Srerns best game to date. I have owned it for 3 years and play it every day. Not an easy game but with practice you can progress nicely to sea of simulation and on a good day ... Portal. Awesome game.

The game itself is pretty standard, but a lot of fun. The real draw is the Daft Punk soundtrack that plays in the background. It's amazing.

This is just a ho-hum game. I gave it several plays and I just couldn't get excited about this one nor get interested in playing it again anytime soon.

My first Stern game.. Love it. Fast flow.. Its a game a beginner can beat around and get a multi-ball or an experienced player can go deep into..Thing is even if you don't have a good game it will draw you in to hit the start buttom again.. Got mine lighted with LED's and with mirror blades...awesome

Played this in Disneyland Paris.

My wife and I where very disappointed and where amazed it scored so highly.

Best thing in Disneyland. But definitely would want to by one.

Best thing is its so light. I got a ball stuck and could have thrown it lifting it to get it back into play. Wish jurrasic park was that light.

The only thing that would make this game better would be if it had deeper code; other then that it is a classic

I am a huge fan of Tron? Great flow and great sound. I am a huge fan of the theme and will be getting this machine for my collection soon. If you are a Tron fan, this is a must. The machine is really good but the theme really pushed it up to a must have for me. With a cointaker LED upgrade, this machine is absolutely stunning.

This is an awesome pin - especially with all the available mods. It's a visual masterpiece, and the sounds are great. I could play this one all day.

Game Design
- The game is fast. Nobody will argue that. The shots flow beautifully and the rules are relatively self-explanatory. However, stock arcade and ramp toys are pretty garbage on the Pro - if it weren't for the recognizer being neat, I'd go lower. Also, the Gem shot is notoriously difficult. I wouldn't say it's a bad layout, but it's an odd shot.

Artwork
- The playfield feels exactly as it should with the colors and lines. The cabinet is fantastic! And the backglass work is amazing. Of course, the Chicks Translite is "the best", but Clu and the 3D ones are also incredible. You can't really go wrong with any of the available options. And watching the DMD is a ton of fun...The Light Cycle Multiball animation is rad.

Sounds and Music
- THIS is where Tron shines. So many amazing music clips and callouts. "Behold, the son of our maaaaakeeeeeer!" Also, Quorra multiball is absolutely hype inducing. Variation is a weird one. Voice work is varied given the character roster, but the music is all Daft Punk. They did a wonderful job keeping the themes and tones moving, but this is a SUPER subjective point.

Other Aspects/Closing Remarks
- Tron combines what I call classic "point based" gameplay with the current trend of "mode/goal" oriented style, and it does so in a really beautiful way. The game FEELS like Tron, too - the colors, artwork, flair, audio...And the one-more-game syndrome is strong with Tron. It's why it sticks around in people's collection.

Having said that, Tron Pro is a modding canvas. The game can cost a LOT of money to mod up. Eli's Ramp mod is a must, as is the mini Arcade. The Ramp Mod turns your Pro into an almost LE. The mini Arcade mod takes the crappy little box and gives it character - makes the scoop come to life (literally). Other mods simply add to the overall visual experience.

Overall, Tron is a game that will sit in my collection forever. Sure, it's my personal Holy Grail pin, so my review may be SLIGHTLY biased, but every single person I have spoken to after playing Tron in the wild has agreed that it is one of their favorite pins to date.

Well - why do I rate the Pro higher than the LE... because of ELIs Lightning Kit - Awesome, much better than the LE Light Upgrade... Love it!

Just love the speed of this game, going to be the last pin that leaves me. Add the mods and looks better than the LE

This being rated ahead of the LE is a joke. The LE with the lighted rails alone blows this away. Is the Pro a great game? Definitely. But the LE is much better IMO. I'm sure some have voted based on the fact of pricing between the two. I didn't take that into consideration in my voting. I don't think it applies to the gameplay or lighting etc when voting.

Very good pin overall. It is fun especially for beginners because there are three ramps per flipper and the multi ball is not difficult to obtain. The flow of the game really runs together good. Great game
