This is my second go round with Mr. Fisher, and though I had a better time with him this adventure, I still can't say that the time we shared was great--good, yes, but not great. I guess I'm just not a stealth-game guy; I like shooting stuff, killing stuff, and doing both while making as much noise as possible. Ultimately, though, I think it comes down to this: there are games you can't wait to play again even while you're playing them; games you enjoy playing while you're playing them, but have no interest in playing again; and games that are so awful that you've no interest in playing them to the end. For me, both the first two Splinters are the second type of game. But I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, because Chaos Theory here I come!

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow features super-agent Sam Fisher attempting to stop a mysterious plot by Darah Dan Doa (Blood and Prayer) rebellion leader Suhadi Sadono that is known only as "Pandora Tomorrow." Sadono's plan includes a daily insurance call to locations around the United States to prevent the release of an unknown biological agent. Until these locations are known, Sadono cannot be captured or killed, making any traditional progress against his movement difficult, if near impossible. Enter Sam Fisher, National Security Agent super-spy and the original Splinter Cell agent of the NSA's Third Echelon program.

The story starts out with a Sadono-led attack on the U.S. Embassy to Dili in East Timor (Indonesia). As Fisher, you're objective is to sneak in and find Douglas Shetland in order to start the trail of information that will hopefully lead to the full discovery of Sadono's plot. After trailing Sadono through multiple locales, the locations of the viruses are soon discovered and disabled, except for the one held by a rogue-CIA agent who intends to take revenge on the U.S. Fisher must then infiltrate Los Angeles international airport in order to neutralize the last sample of the virus.

Pandora Tomorrow expanded on the original Splinter Cell's gameplay with several different moves, including the ability to hang from your feet on pipes to shoot, the ability to reach high ledges and windows with an extension of a modified split-jump move, and something called a "SWAT turn" that greatly reduces Fisher's visibility passing by doorways. In place of the training facility introductory mission of the first game, the first level starts off with an area that walks the player through the basics of stealth movement. The graphics are a bit of a step-up from the original, although much of the game must be done through night-vision goggles again (or with your TV's brightness turned up). The sound is, once again, spectacular. The music fits very well in with the mood of each of the levels and areas. There was also a good amount of humorous dialogue between Fisher and his fellow agents (Lambert, Coen, and Grímsdóttir), a decent amount of which is dark humor. I believe that, in order to actually do a job like this and maintain one's sanity, some type of dark humor has to be there. Therefore, I not only appreciated the comical aspect of this but also, from my perspective, the realism. Pandora Tomorrow also introduces an online multiplayer aspect of spies versus mercenaries, which adds to the game's overall value and replayability. Overall, I find Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow to be a must-play that should be in everyone's collection. It is a step above and beyond the original.

Pandora Tomorrow is one of the best Splinter Cell games in the series. The action is awesome and the stealth is so suspensful that it feels like your heart is beating 100x faster than usual! The AI on the guards is also very well done. I recommend this game to anyone who loves action video games!

Not as good as the first

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow was OK but Splinter Cell, Rainbow six, Halo, & now GHost Reacon were all rally good! So Pandora Tomorrow was not that fun!!

All we hear about, when it comes to Splinter cell is how innovating the first and third one was. Or, the mercenary v. spy multiplayer. It's sad by how much people ignore the second game. I found it a great game in it's own right. I'm not badmouthing the other two. I'm a splinter cell fanatic, I own all three games. They're awesome games. But Pandora Tomorrow turned me on to the series it should least get a little more credit by putting the game series on the market

S.C. Pan. Tom. finally came to the PS2! Worth the wait when you consider the exclusive extras not found in the xbox & pc versions... including alternate pathways in some stages, ability to disable booby traps, post mission stats scoring screen, an all-new jungle mission, and listening to in-mission situation reports(via the USB headset, not included). I was able to buy the game on sale for just 11$ new from a local retailer. Don't worry, the beautiful graphics hold their own vs. the xbox version. Highly rated/Highly recommended. A must have for PS2 stealth-action fans. 1-4 players, rated teen for blood/violence/drug references, an "online" ready game. Nice job ubisoft and thanks for the extras!

Great Game for stealth lovers.Infiltrate,investigate & dominate the way 2 the top.

Splinter Cell 2:Pandora Tomorrow is a terrific game for stealth/action lovers as you have good choice where to sneak up on guards.The Splinter Cell series were ispired by Clancy,but in games was inspired by the Metal Gear Solid series as you are a good guy who needs to infiltrate enemy teritory in order to build imformation from them and then put a stop to `em.I was not really planning to get this one first as i was going to get the original one(Tom Clancys Splinter Cell 1) along with Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons Of Liberty(In short MGS:SoL) but they werent available so i took this as a last decision from GameStation.Its a great game.You play as Sam Fisher,a James Bond- like Secret Agent who is told to firstly infiltrate a Indonisian Territory first arriving in a river then you follow your way to success K.O.ing guards and hiding then yourself(Fisher) in a dark spot you start off with cheap techniques then learn better ways and how to scare info. out of guards by threatening to (SNAP!) hurt there necks you also can rescue hostages and ask them info. as they have been listening to the guards talking.I have only got the game today and have only got as far as the bit where you have to get to a woman but passing a man with NightVision goggles and has got drone guns.
OVERALL:A great game but i have not played the other famus stealth games,Metal Gear Solid so i can not compare yet,I plan to get EVERY Splinter Cell(SC for short) and Metal Gear Solid(MGS) games for my PlayStation-2 and maybe try M:I:Operation Surma.So anyone who likes stealth/action games should try this game.
remember this for any game,no matter how hyped or popular it is tou should always Try Before You Buy(I.e Rent,Lend temporarily swap) you never know you could dammnn your self for spending so much on a game you dont like.

This game is a really really good game. It has awesome graphics, the controls are great once you get used to them. The only thing is that it is really dark, but then it has to be. I thought it was really easy but it had some hard parts to it especially the last level. Probably the best game I have ever gotten, worth the money.
