| - Is a Lego video game based on the Tron franchise. The game is a companion piece to the Lego Tron sets. It is based on both the original 1982 Tron film and the 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy. Since there are only two films, it is able to go into greater depth on each than Lego games based of three or four movies. There are nine story mode levels for each film, plus a secret prequel level, and sixty playable characters from the Tron universe. The score for the original film, along with Daft Punk’s soundtrack for Tron: Legacy is used throughout the game, including the track ‘Derezzed’ on the title screen. Lego Tron was a reasonably successful installment into the Lego Video game franchise, and was praised for its respect of both films, while at the same time humorously parodying them. It follows the plots of both films quite well, with only a few changes to allow co-op gameplay. The game’s combat system was praised as well, as it has better variety than some other Lego games. Most characters can fight hand to hand with fisticuffs as well as short or long-range weapons, along with the disk that can be thrown, with a targeting system like the batarangs in Lego Batman, and used as handheld weapon. Achieving 100% on your stud meter during a level brings the rank True User. Hidden throughout each level are minikits in the form of identity discs.
