Sigh, seems it is another travesty.

ign gives it 3.0

Quote, "The one new element, the online multiplayer, runs poorly and is no fun to play. All-in-all, one of the worst XBLA ports to date."

Guess I'll be passing on this and will have to force myself to finish a mame cab with a push pull spinner.

Not that I trust ign or anything, but I def won't be buying day one.

Best of luck to those of you that do.

	"the one new element"..psshhhawww!!...anything more than single player would be new.(the arcade version had ONLY one controller and one player..mostly they were in a stand-in cabinet with a trigger/joystick.) IGN again doesn't have a clue about original arcade games (they said frogger(arcade) originally had 3 frogs per game...)). xbl: gothicrevuecom

Re: About Time

Heh, don't get me wrong, Discs is one of my most fondly remembered game. If I came accross a enviromental cabinent for sale, I'd buy it.

I was just hoping they would impliment a true vs mode, something an updated discs just screams for, esp on live.

You've given me a glimmer of hope, but I don't see myself spending the dosh for something I can play on my comp for free. So I await your reviews lol

	An updated discs would've been very cool, but the original is still awesome in my opinion. Love this game. Anyone else get the urge to turn on a black light while playing Tron? I know I do. stats\|zune

Versus would have been sweet but I wasn't expecting it to be added after seeing what they did with the first XBLA Tron game. Everyone want's versus light cycles and Discs but they weren't in the originals. Would have been awesome but I love these games regardless and happy they put them out.
