LPWire: Buena Vista Interactive Unveils TRON 2.0 Multiplayer Light Cycle Racing at E3 2003

Buena Vista Interactive Unveils TRON 2.0 Multiplayer Light Cycle Racing at E3 2003
Attendees Will Be the First to Experience the Multiplayer Game Grid at the Buena Vista Games Booth, Number 924, South Hall

Buena Vista Interactive, the core games publishing label of Buena Vista Games, Inc., today announced the unveiling of multiplayer light cycle racing for TRON 2.0 at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Show attendees will have the chance to challenge one another on the Light Cycle LAN Circuit as they race on their choice of classic or new light cycles, both designed by Syd Mead, world famous concept designer, at Buena Vista Games' booth, number 924, South Hall.

Bringing to life one of the most memorable scenes from the TRON film, TRON 2.0 will allow up to eight players to compete individually or on a team in Light Cycle multiplayer mode. Gamers can experience the rush of high-speed racing on a variety of Grid Arenas in either first- or third-person as they attempt to have opponents run into obstacles, walls and light cycle trails. Adding to the excitement is the ability to acquire power-ups, including the shield, turbo boost, missile, trail spike, turbo curse, grab, trail reset, force use, trail extender and random, to outlast the competition on the Game Grid.

TRON 2.0 also features single-player light cycle gameplay in four enormous story-based levels, as well as compete against game bots in 16 light cycle "circuits" in Light Cycle single-player mode. Players who successfully complete two "circuits," each consisting of two to five races, will unlock power-ups, as well as different light cycle types and colors, allowing them access to new "circuits."

"Multiplayer light cycles has been the number one most requested feature for TRON 2.0," said Bob Picunko, director of marketing, Buena Vista Interactive. "I'm pleased to announce we're able to offer this innovative and addictive feature in the game, in addition to the action-packed multiplayer Disc Arenas."

In development by critically acclaimed Monolith Productions, TRON 2.0 is an action-packed story-driven title inspired by TRON, the groundbreaking science-fiction motion picture. The game takes place in present day, approximately 20 years after the events of the film. Playing as Jet Bradley, son of ENCOM programmer Alan Bradley from the movie, gamers are digitized into cyberspace and will race on light cycles, battle corruption both inside and outside of the computer world, and explore locations including the Internet Hub, Firewall, Corrupted Server and Light Cycle Game Grid.
