Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow

I bought the first Splinter Cell for the Gamecube last year expecting a beautiful game like it was hyped on Xbox. When I got it I only learned that the Xbox version was hyped way to much in graphics when they weren't even that great. I heard of Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow coming out and I thought ooooh probaly only for Xbox or PS2 since they always screw over the Gamecube. Well I was wrong and it was coming to all three next gen platforms. So I checked out the screenshots at IGN for the Gamecube and my mouth just dropped. These are so perfect crisp and stunning looking graphics that this could turn out to be the best stealth shooter game to be made yet. It has full inhanced graphics.Not just Nvidia's 4X graphic processor but Gamecubes ATI 8X processor chip. I can tell this game isn't going to be cheap like the other one. It is going to be great by a fact.

Best first person shooter yet

Splinter cell Pandora tomorrow incorporates all the pluses of the original and all the best parts of it are even better. You can do all the moves of the original, plus a few more. The graphics are even better than the first and there are several outdoor missions in which the sun either sets or rises gradually, changing the shadows in which you can hide. Speaking of hiding, there is now an on screen gauge that tells how visible you are to enemy mercenaries.

There is now a unique multi-player that allows you and three others to play each other, X-box and PS2 have it, but I'm not sure about Gamecube. You can play 1 on 3 or 2 on 2; one side are the spies and the other are the mercenaries. Each are evenly matched, but each have different advantages. The spies can see from a third person view allowing them to be more aware of their surroundings while the mercenaries have a first person view allowing them to shoot more accurately, but they can't see behind or to the side of themselves. Each side has their own gadgets and each have their own weapons as well their own objectives, the spies have to complete an objective and the mercenaries have to stop them. The mercenaries have auto-matic weapons that can easily kill a spy but all the spies have are one shot pistols that can only stun an enemy, thus the only way a spy can kill a mercenary is either by jumping on him or breaking his neck. The mercenaries have the advantage in open combat, but their poor vision means that a spy can gain the upper hand with stealth, at least until they're discovered. This means that both sides need different strategies to win.

Xbox VS Gamecube VS PS2

I can't decide what system to get Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on so I did a system over view on what version to buy. I have Xbox,PS2, and Gamecube so I had many options. The Xbox version is exclusive right now because of a deal with UBI Soft and Microsoft but the other versions are coming this month or maybe early next month. The Xbox version has a multiplayer version along with the PS2 version. The Xbox version we know will look better then the PS2 version but UBI Soft said the Gamecube version and Xbox version will be no diffrent besides the Gamecube version having a longer single player mode. The Gamecube version doesn't have online multiplayer but has extra weapons and a longer single player mode also including the GBA link up which I don't know what it will give you. So the PS2 version is out of here. Now Xbox vs Gamecube. The Gamecube and Xbox versions are already confirmed to look identical and will have no graphic diffrences. Xbox has the multiplayer while the Gamecube has a longer single player mode and more weapons. I will buy James Bond games if I want multiplayer games not Splinter Cell so that leaves me with the Gamecube version. I buy stealth games for single player modes not multiplayer modes so the Gamecube version is the one I would reccomenmd getting. I have my money already saved for this one it's going to be great.

Get this game

This is probably my favorite game right now. Everybody is saying get it for Xbox or gamecube because they have better graphics, and gamecube has an extended single-player mode. But PS2 is equal to them all. The graphics are still awesome, and if you play multiplayer, you won't be going outside for a long time. But, around the middle of the game for a level or two, the game gets a little into the trial-and-error deal. Otherwise, you must get this game no matter what.

Just as good as Halo for xbox! By: A 12 year old!

I have found out that the best systems to get this game on are gamecube and xbox. They will have the same graphics. Ps2 is not as good good on this game as the other consoles. But xbox and Ps2 will have online action plus original multiplayer when you play on the same console. Gamecube won't have online but will have multiplayer. But... Gamecube will have extra weopons and a longer single player mode. Ubisoft said each console with have something special on this game. Gamecube has better single player mode and ps2 and xbox have online. I stronly recomend buying this game for gamecube. I own an xbox and a gamecube so I hope I helped your desision on which console to get it on. So.... GET IT ON GAMECUBE!! ITS THE BEST BEST GAME TO HALO!!

Good graphics, annoying load times/checkpoints

I wanted to like this game. After playing through Splinter Cell, I thought this game would be awesome. After renting the game, I found that the controls are different from the first Splinter Cell. Although the manual says that you can zoom (binoculars) with the C-stick downflick, it's actually a light press of the L trigger. Also, using the SC-20 rifle is difficult to use - the sniper view also requires a light press of the L-trigger, which is the same button to hold your breath. There is another typo in the manual - I can't remember the exact details. I found the graphics to be improved in comparison to the first game. However, the multitude of checkpoints made the pace of the game unnecessarily slow. Panning the camera can make the framerate drop noticeably.
My recommendation - rent it for yourself first to see if the game is for you. After playing other stealth action games, Pandora Tomorrow is just not up to par.

This is, without a doubt, the greatest game ever made. I recently bought Pandora Tomorrow and it's shaping up to be even better. Anyone who would give this game less than 5 stars more than likely doesn't own it, or hasn't beaten it. The ending video is awesome, and the overall story is the best i have ever seen. If you disagree with my review, YOUR WRONG.

END

A lame followup for a great game

First of all, in response to "a gamer", this is not a first person shooter. Second, it is a very poor excuse for a Splinter Cell sequel. The dialouge is inane, and the rules that I hated about part one are even more strict in this one. Now, not only will you be spotted in the light, but most of the time you will spotted in pitch darkness. Then that idiot will come over the line and say "What the hell are you doing? The mission's over!" I wouldn't mind that style of gameplay so much if it were consistant, but the game is full of glitches (or just plain careless programming) that will cause this to happen. Sometimes you will sneak out of the shadows and grab someone, but if you made a little bit of noise they will immediately call in the alarm. The funny thing is, you have this friggin' guy in a choke hold, and he's having a conversation about an intruder on his radio! Meanwhile, your boss is shouting in your earpiece what an idiot you are and how the mission's over! All this time, I'm thinking "why is this happening? Here I am, holding this guy in a choke hold, in pitch blackness, with nobody else around, and my mission is falling apart around me?! If I wasn't such a poorly rendered collection of data...if this were Spinter Cell part one, this wouldn't be happening." I feel sorry for Sam Fisher. He should have retired before the agency lost their minds.
I highly recommend that Ubi Soft never tries to coattail on a great game's name by releasing sloppy work like this again. I am dissapointed and will be very vigilant about buying Ubisoft products again. The only reason I give it two stars is because it still has a pretty cool atmosphere, but that certainly isn't enough to make it even a mediocre game. I have played worse though.

One thing: I have never played the prequel to this game and do not intend to.

I loved this game and I thought the graphics were great. The graphics were much more solid than Prince of Persia, which is a good fact since this game was very serious and present.

I didn't actually buy this game but I rented it and intend to buy it soon. Even though I only played it for a week I understood the plot, gameplay, and idea of the game pretty well. I love how this game was realistic so that on some levels you couldn't kill opponents.

I also loved the dark/light aspect of it. If you were in light you'd probably be seen and if you were in dark you probably wouldn't. It's so realistic you have to actually hide the bodies of unconsious people and they don't just "dissapate" like in other games

I'm Colton and I loved this game

i cant play it.
