Quoted from Atomicboy:

No where near. I have played this a few times now, and I'm amazed by how easy it is. It has been nothing for me to get to sea of simulation everytime, and then it's more or less over, "rinse, repeat" (blah I hate that expression).

Seriously? Easy? I watched a few of the world's top ranked players play Tron at Expo and they
didn't get to SOS once while I was watching, never mind every time.

And SOS isn't even the wizard mode, you then have to complete all the modes to get to Portal and
then it would be very difficult to beat Portal.

Tron certainly isn't a deep game by any means. I like deep games but if Tron was too much
deeper than it already is, it would be all but impossible to complete.

The games just don't last that long and it has so many random elements to it. You could play
10 games of Tron in the time the same player could play 1 game of SM, LOTR or TSPP.

I realize that Tron and Funhouse have a similar lay out but on any Funhouse game I've ever
played, the Rudy shot was considerably easier than the Gem shot on Tron. There is plenty
of discussion online regarding the difficulty of the Gem shot, I don't recall the same sort of
talk about the Rudy shot being all that hard.

What smassa said.

When I purposely plunge to get the Gem shot, I can get it occasionally.
Not really consistently enough to make it worth while. If you could do
it consistently it would make the game much easier.

Pinballslave, where did you read that they claimed 'The Rules Have Changed' as one of the selling
points for Tron?

I've seen them use the punchline, "The Game Has Changed", but that is simply a line from the
movie and the name of a song from the soundtrack.

I agree with you, the rules are nothing ground breaking but the game is hard enough to reach Portal
as it stands. If I was getting to Portal every 10 games or so, then I would agree that there isn't
enough software there.

It could use some polishing though, when you play CLU, it says, "that was impressive" regardless
of how you fare on the mode, as an example.

Quoted from smassa:

Ummm I believe the game is being sarcastic. Kinda in the way Stane gives you the "well that worked out well" line when you botch up Monger Multi ball on Iron Man.

That's the problem, it's not being sarcastic or even complimentary for that matter. It never
changes, if you get 0, 1, 2, 3 or all 4 of the required shots in CLU, it says the same thing. It's
not a huge deal but that and other voice calls could use some variety.

I thought the game says, "The game has changed, Son of Flynn". I could be wrong though, it's
hard to concentrate on every word as the ball flies around like it does on that game. I also have
only really played version 1.7, so I really don't know anything about previous revisions.

Don't get me wrong, I like Tron, I own one myself. It just seems some of the callouts and
DMD animations could use some work. This polishing would turn a good game into a great one.
