Tron Arcade is a game that I definitely see the appeal of but it's not something I'm particularly into myself.
The game consists of four sub-games based on events from the film. MCP Cone is the simplest, as all you have to do is fire at the MCP's shields and make it into his cone with hitting the walls.
I/O Tower is second on this scale, as it uses similar controls to MCP Cone but has you derezzing Grid Bugs (creatures the film only referenced once and were never actually fought btw)
The Grid Bugs can overwhelm you in the harder variants of this game but it's not too hard in the early stages, just make it through the bugs and enter the circle to win.
Battle Tanks reminded me a little of Wii Tanks from Wii Play (showing my age, I know) where you control a tank in a maze and have to navigate through to avoid getting derezzed and derezzing the enemy tanks. This ones fairly hard but I feel it's well designed and once you get into the groove, it can be quite rewarding to win this one.
Then we have Light Cycles, the worst sub-game in my opinion. It's frustrating enough in the easiest version when you've only got to compete with one enemy but later stages have you dealing with three. Doesn't help that sometimes my cycle won't turn when I want it to and I die due to some weird delay in the controls. It makes me wish I could escape like Flynn did in the film through a crack in the wall of the game grid.
Overall, I think Tron Arcade could be a great time with a group of friends in an arcade. Playing the sub-games and seeing who can land the best score, but playing it alone is only fun for so long and it doesn't help that I don't even think Light Cycles is that good in this one.
