"Midway's Discs of Tron will arrive in the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday, February 13, publisher Disney Interactive Studios announced today.

Initially released in 1983, the arcade game is built around the Pong-like life-or-derez sport glimpsed in the inspirational 1982 film Tron. The modern rendition was handled by Backbone Charlotte, and features online multiplayer along with enhanced graphics and music."

29 Years of Tron Games

GameBlurb writes, "Instead of making another full-blown review on just Tron Evolution, we decided that if only seemed fair to review all Tron games, just in case you either don’t know/understand the hoopla or maybe missed one and are thinking of backlogging."

Tron 2.0....ahhh the memories.

Kiroe4859d ago

Tron 2.0 was one of those games back in the day you used to show off what your gaming pc could do. Pixel shader 2.0 FTW!

Cajun Chicken4859d ago

Stunning game. Also a lot more inventive than Tron Legacy was.

gameseveryday4859d ago

Too bad the game never lived up to the reputation.

Bay4859d ago

I've never played any Tron game, let alone saw the Tron arcades back in the day :( Then again it was quite before my time, haha.

jaidek4859d ago

haha, it makes the people who remember seeing them in the arcades feel even older. :D

evildeli4859d ago

I've been playing Tron forever. Didn't realize it was 29 years though.

I've never played a Tron game either, but I did enjoy Tron Legacy at the cinema. That'll look good on Blu.

Console Monster: Discs of Tron Mini-Review

Console Monster writes: "You know those researchers that say that playing video games can actually stimulate the brain? They say that it can help with hand-eye coordination and reaction time and all that good stuff? Well those researchers probably weren't even thinking of a game like Discs of Tron, which was made in 1983 and applied to their theory, but I think it does.

Discs of Tron is not your typical 80's game. You aren't blasting away at little bugs, space aliens or trying to eat ghosts who turn blue. No, it's actually much simpler than that. Hit your opponent, Sark, with a disc and don't let the opponent hit you with theirs. The concept itself isn't difficult and mastering Discs of Tron with so many other things going on in the game is not..."

MSXbox World: Discs of Tron Review

Discs of Tron on Xbox 360 is a good representation of how sloppy some of the Xbox Live Arcade games are at the moment. Now and again you get the arcade game which is worth its money, that's if you can trundle through the pointless ports, like this one, which really should be free.

MSXbox World would only recommend this game to you if you're trying to build up a collection of classic arcade games, or, if you want some easy gamer points. If you buy this game for any other reason MSXbox World can almost certainly say you'll be disappointed, they would advise you to look else where.

Gameplay - 4.5
Graphics - 6
Sound - 6
Longevity - 4
