Ricochet

on Sunday, January, 27, 2008 7:10 PM
Anybody tried this ?

It's a Valve mod for Half-Life. I got it as a part of a pack on Steam. You can buy it standalone for $9.
It's basically a Discs of Tron game with online multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, there aren't many people on the servers.
It shows its age and looks quite ugly compared to Tron 2.0 for example. Mostly black backgrounds, 16bit textures.

The game itself is fun to play. Movements between the platforms are limited, discs respond very well. The deal is to push enemies off their platforms with your discs. There is also a combo attack that lets you chop your opponent's head.

Not the best adaptation but still a funny app.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I gave Ricochet a whirl, a while back. The graphics aren't anything to write home about by today's standards, but the gameplay has some novel ideas.

While the Disc Arena mode in Tron 2.0 certainly looks great, I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay. I don't remember Tron bunny-hopping around like mad when he fought Sark. I wish Monolith could have found a way to make that mode more like the film.

Discs of Tron is probably the best adaptation of the film, by far.

What I like about Richochet is that jumping occurs less frequently, and there's less chance of missing a platform and falling off. Also, you start with a low-powered disc weapon but can receive temporary powerups to increase your chance of a kill shot. Like I said, some nice ideas.

Apparently, some people are updating Ricochet to use the Source engine. Interesting . . .
