This is the third and last installment in the Tron 2.0 Guide. Again, for those who have played it, please feel free to add or comment on what I marked down here, especially any notes you may have for Ghost in the Machine where 95% of it turned out to be a mind screw.

As many know, there were two sequels to Tron: Tron Legacy, which is canon, and the 2004 first-person shooter Tron 2.0, which has unfortunately been declared "non-canon," and downgraded to apocrypha.
However, that does it a great disservice as 2.0 has a rich array of characters, weaponry, scenarios, and situations to add to the greater whole of the setting. Furthermore, there is only a single detail that puts the timelines in direct conflict. Otherwise, the events of Tron 2.0 could be ported into Legacy-compliant fanfic with very little trouble. In fact, it is not uncommon to find a nod to Jet or Ma3a inside what is otherwise straight-up Legacy scenarios.
This is half-review and half analysis of Tron 2.0, with an emphasis on what fanf…
