The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider.

Where it drifts furthest from Tron 2.0: combat.

The shootdodge finally has weight behind it: bullets tear through cover, animations blend into terrain, and the last-stand mechanic keeps firefights tense. Some of the best gunfeel of its generation. It is also the most controlling — long unskippable cutscenes stitch between fights, and the linear corridors leave little room to approach an encounter your own way.
