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.

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.

Got it as a gift, haven't played it much yet

It looks like a good game from what little I've played it; I thought it was a multi-player game but I don't think it is. I got a Wii right after I got this game, so I haven't played it much. I've played other Tom Clancy games, this one seems just as good so far - I've only played the first level. If you like the Tom Clancy games, you would probably like this one.

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.

Not a bad game, but not great either

I picked this game up at Blockbuster without knowing anything about the whole stealth/tactical genre. Needless to say I had a GIANT learning curve to overcome. I think I spent almost 2 hours total trying to get past the train section of Saulnier. But...

Once I got the hang of the game and all the different variables pertaining to this style of gameplay became clear to me, this game was really cool and fun to play. Sometimes the AI is goofy and someone will spot you for shooting a lamp out near them, and then in the next section it won't get you spotted, go fig. If you can get past glitches like that and aren't a hard core tactical shooter fan, this game is worth your time. The replay value on it is really good - I've already beaten the game and now I'm trying to go through without tripping any alarms, after that I intend to take on the hard difficulty setting.

Now for the practicals...

The graphics are above average in gameplay and very good in the cutscenes, the music during gameplay is quiet, but filled with enough ambient noises to keep you guessing at least for the first run through. Ok, the voice overs suck, in particular the terrorists, they sound just like American game programmers - no accents whatsoever, lame, lame, lame. Lambert is an idiot, wait till you get to the last level to hear him tell you "The Elevator Stopped." Thanks Captain Obvious, I couldn't have figured that out on my own.

Overall, this is a fun game and worth the $7-15 you might drop on it

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.

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.

Splinter Cell: Gamecube

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
