I could never finish it as a kid. I don't remember liking it either. Maybe I'll come back to it someday.

To be fair, the only way this game wouldn't have been disappointing is if it was the greatest game of all time. Alas, "greatest game of all time" it is not.

I do wish they had a segment that was an actual light cycle battle. Although the light cycle segments that do exist are really cool and pretty awesome set pieces.

And I actually wish the story was more separate from Tron: Legacy, without Quorra or Flynn being characters. Sort of acting like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I was actually hoping it would follow Tron after the events of Legacy.

The controls can feel clunky or unresponsive at times, and that sucks, but when the freerunning doesn't send you flying off in the wrong direction, and the combat doesn't get you killed by throwing your disc towards nothing, it can be really satisfying. Especially when coupled with the cool-ass Tron: Legacy visuals.

Similar to the Tron Legacy movie in many ways - mostly flawed, but when it hits it's incredibly cool. In all honesty I haven't played this since 2010, because why would you, but the thing I'll always remember about this game is the lightcycle battles being insanely fun. I can't believe I used to join multiplayer games just to drive around on the cycle grid, but there always used to be games open for doing that so I guess I wasn't the only one.

A good movie tie in game in an era when most movie tie in games were god awful is truly something to behold. The high quality of Tron Evolution came as a huge surprise at the time, and thanks to the stylized graphics of the universe holds up quite well today.

I want this game to be good so badly.
