HARD TO CONTROL, INPOSIBLE TO REMEMBER CONTROLS, IMPOSIBLE TO BEAT THE GAME WITHOUT CHEATS. THIS GAME IS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

I bought this for my kids because according to the box, up to 4 players can play at the same time.
Well, as it turns out, that means 4 different players with 4 different Xboxes... Yeah, like most siblings are going to patiently take turns playing this together. Most parents know better than to buy games for 1 player when they have more than one kid in the house, it just doesn't work.
So, I thought the labeling was very misleading.
From what I could tell, the graphics looked pretty good but I don't much else about the game play and all since I hid this game from my kids, so I can quit hearing them fight over who gets to play.

Very good graphics and sound. The problem I had with this game was that there seemed to be a VERY specific route you were meant to take throughout the game, down to every move or maneuver you made. If you strayed from the path the programmers determened was the "correct" one, you would be killed. The end result is being killed over and over until you figure out...was I supposed to go left or right at this part?...should I shoot this guy or pass by him?...do I open the door to the right or the left? Every decision seems to have a "right" decision, and it is TEDIOUS trial-and-error figuring out what the programmers had in mind for each minute detailed decision you make. You get killed, you try again, over and over until you find the one "correct" path. Very little, if any, freedom to move around...this game is an exercise in tedious repetition... go through the same scenarios over, and over, and over...until you stumble across the one solution. Should entertain adolescents, at best.

Good looking, bad playing

I probably should have rented it first because this game is horrifically difficult. I didn't play the first Splinter Cell, but bought this one after reading glowing reviews and listening to my friends who said it is the best game ever made. I've put 30+ hours into it so far and haven't gotten past the second level. I never will because I'm sick of doing the same thing over and over. My copy of this game has been earmarked for the "Previously Played" bin at the local game store.

Fun, mediocre, but mostly frustrating

I am a fan of the Tom Clancy Spliner Cell series since I bought the first one a while back. When I played the first one, I played somthing I had never experienced before, but i also encountered flaws that I would have hoped to be improved in Pandora Tomorrow.
But before I played Pandora Tommorrow, the second game in the stealth action series, I played the latest installment, Chaos Theory. The game showed supurb improvements in all areas of the first game, and and in Pandora Tomorrow. The main weakness I found in Pandora Tomorrow was the frusteration level. In almost every stage of the game, I found myself retrying the level repetitive times to try not to sound the alarm when I'm sneaking past a guard, or abruptly getting caught and having to restart right when I'm close to the checkpoint because a body was found that I had tried to hide earlier in the game. The main idea of the game is that you are a Third Echelon government spy who is supposed to inflitrate dangerous locations across the globe, get vital information for the good of the world, and sneak out right under the noses of notorious terrorists. To do this, you have to be a "shadow", which means you have to be invisible. In the begining, they teach you how to hide in dark corners, take cover from the enemy, etc., but I still found my self getting caught. For example, while quietly stalking the dark alleys of Jerusalem,
a guard nearby happens to hear my footsteps, and begins to investigate the area. No big deal, I tell myself, and I quickly find a dark corner and put my back against the wall so I could be less visible. But as the investigating guard walks buy me "hidden
in the shadows", he always seems to realize that I'm there, so he sounds the alarm, and the missions over. Boom! It happens again in the same situations throughout the game. Sooner or later, you'll get past the guard, but the same, almost impossible challenge awaits you in the next level, and the next level until you have beaten the game. The game has some upsides though. The levels are well detailed, such as the one in Jerusalem and LAX airport in Los Angeles. Also the addition of Xbox Live's Spies Vs. Mercenaries will entertain you for a long time. If you're a person who likes to take up challenges, doesn't get frustrated easily, and doesn't really care about the latest installment, Chaos Theory, there is somthing for you in this game. If you are not this kind of person, and want more action and an overall better stealth action game, I would definitely recommend my favorite game, Chaos Theory, which will leave you playing for a long time.

XBox Live experience is terrible

The game is good but the simple things ruin it for me. For instance having to re-enter the Optimatch search every time. It takes forever to find a good game. If the game is full or closed by the time you get there (it happens a lot) then you get to do the optimatch search again. If you want a good online experience try Castle Wolfinstein, it is very easy to find a good game on there. I recommend against this game for online play.

The rest of the game is pretty good.

I don't really like stealth games.

I first bought this game because i heard from a friend that it was really fun and that the online play was awesome. So i went out and bought it. The thing i hated the most about it was that in some missions you can't kill the terrorists. Such as in the first lvl. Why the hell can't you kill the terrorists. If you don't they will just come back to bite you in the ass. I didn't enjoy running around and doing the same thing over and over again. Such as grabbing a terrorist by the neck and knocking him out or shooting out a light. It gets boring. After the first day of playin this i shoved it back in with the rest of my games and haven't pulled it out since. What a worthless piece of crap.

Its al..right i suppose

Tom Clancy and UBI-SOFT make good games but i don`t think Clancy is cut out for stealth,don`t get me wrong Splinter Cell:Pandora Tommoro is OK but is..boring-Clancy is definatly good for making military-combat games like the Ghost Recon games,or special counter terrorism Ops. games the RAINBOW 6 games which are his oldest franchise.
Splinter Cell:Pandora tommoro is the sequal to Splinter Cell.It has no humor,no hiddens and it IS a stealth game that is just tiring it is definatly no match for the excellent Metal Gear Solid games,the MGS games are amongst my favorate series EVER.
The character you play is okay,a middle aged agent called Sam Fisher,Sam is a veteran of countless wars as a former Espionage soldier and a former Navy SEAL soldier.But "now" is a NSA agent of Third Echelon(3E).
Sam Fisher though he is good he is no Solid Snake or even Naked Snake should i add(Both Metal Gear Solid games characters).
There was one mission in SC:PT i liked though and that was the one in Jerusalem,i remember when i was chasing some Nun i jumped and "accidentaly" knocked her out,and stealth was fun for once in the game.
The only similarity between the MGS games and the SC games is that you use stealth to beat the enemy.
In a Splinter Cell game you HAVE to use stealth which sucks because if a guard sees you its "Mission Failed" and your not even allowed to kill a guard on most missions,or if you don`t hide them/or their corpse they will be "Found" magically and you fail the mission.
But in the Metal Gear Solid games stealth is fun you getta hide under boxes,in lockers,under tables,in toilets and in ducts,and in MGS3 you can camoflage your self in suitable parts of the Jungle so your enemy walks over you like he would on the ground.The good thing about the MGS game is that you don`t gotta hide you can just topple them or take them hostage.
I usually hate fantasy parts in games(like a human who can turn into a monster,etc) Even though MGS contains a little bit of fantasy but not too much and they keep to realism as much as possible.

I am a fan of all military,The Army,The Navy,The Air Force,The Navy`s SEALs,British SAS etc. i think military stuff isneat.I love military related games,the MGS games are military related,The Splinter Cell games are too because you are pitted against a military group,sometimes Mercenaries.
All the military secret agent games i know are;
The secret agent games/Counter terrorism:007 games,Metal Gear Solid games,Splinter Cell games,Mission Impossible games,Rainbow 6 games

More Military-ish games:Medal Of Honor series,Call Of Duty games, series,Brothers In Arms games,BattleField games,VietCong:Purple Haze,ShellShock:`Nam `67,Conflict series,SOCOM series and The Ghost Recon games i plan to try at least one of each series(except Metal Gear Solid games i plan to get ALL of them) and for the SOCOM and Ghost Recon games i intend to get a HeadSet so i can command soldiers in my platoon or if i ever get a R-6 game.I know the mass-Majority of The SOCOM games are OnLine Play but i don`t use OL play but the 1-Player game stands its own as i have tried one b4.

I know my review ain`t helpful but i just wanted to say all this.
