    This is garbage. I love Splinter Cell. The first game is excellent. Chaos Theory is a masterpiece. But you can tell this was made by different developers. I played the PS2 version and the stealth is completely broken. Areas that look dark are not dark, enemies are apparently omniscient, and it's impossible to get around some guys. The levels are boring too although I will admit I liked theThis is garbage. I love Splinter Cell. The first game is excellent. Chaos Theory is a masterpiece.

But the bottom line is this isn't just a bad Splinter Cell. It's one of the worst stealth games I've played. Expand

    Although "Pandora Tomorrow" may be a difficult game to handle with all those broad controls, its very tense, realistic, and most of all, enjoyable.

    Enjoyed the stealth action in the beginning but on the PS2 it slowly got boring with the bad sound effects, poor AI however I was able to put up with it. I haven't had a chance to play online on the PS2 but with the great reviews about it's online play ill definitely be playing online soon.

    A solid game with its share of flaws. It still managers to capture the essence of stealth despite the aging technology of the PS2. Highly recommended title if you only own a PS2.

    Great game. it is the best of the two splinter cell games I have played already. (splinter cell, and splinter cell double agent) this game is much faster then one and has much better A I. and the online line feature is a great addiction to the game. this one one game I might have to go buy it since I just rented it.

    I am still far from finished (only 4'th level) But that don't that i don't know that this game has a brilliant plot, gorgous visuals, fantastic controls, a music design that gets you in a stealthy mood, and fantasic gameplay aspects. Ubi Soft has made 3 of the best games ever, POP Sands of time, Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Pandora tommorow. This may be the best game ever.

Thank you very, very, very, very, very, much Ubi Soft. Expand

    The PS2 port of "Pandora Tomorrow" features the online multiplayer that made the original Xbox game such a success. While the "Spy Vs. Mercs" mode is highly intact, the single player campaign wasn't translated as well. Yes it's a faithful adaption, but there are auto-saves that pause the action which really breaks the immersion.

Like the original "Splinter Cell", this version has been truncated to work on Sony's console. So the levels are missing details and are not as expansive as its Xbox counterpart. The exclusive level to isn't as exciting as the snow level from the first game. Still, the online multiplayer is very impressive. I would rank this with an 8.1 out of 10. Expand

Immersive espionage fiction, beautiful graphics, top-notch level detalization, incredible stealth arsenal and… same old complete linearity and ridiculous side-effects from excessive meticulousness to AI behavior and stealth design in general. Guards with perfect reaction, intuition and shared subconsciousness, auto-closing ordinary doors that regularly save you from troubles, civilians who somehow trained not to make a sound when being grabbed… such artificial details can be negated by great many positive gameplay elements and diverse levels. What is more frustrating is aforementioned linearity: Splinter Cell still forces you to play one exact way. The way where each room is a puzzle that too often have one and only solution which very likely will not match with your own perception of situation. The other thing to mention about new installment is its plot, more plausible and sensible but somehow much less absorbing… Though they introduced moral choices - feel what is like to be a undercover agent!

    Do play this game, if you like stealth and do not mind corridors pretend to be cities, villages, buildings, submarines, airports… Ingenuity of some stealth elements in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is real.

    I spent nights and nights playing this when I was a kid. The music was so immersive, so stealthy, this will be my favorite game for a lifetime. It's not perfect but it's magnificent in my eyes.

    Just a good Splinter Cell game, nothing more, nothing else. I remember it being more accessible and easier than the first one, thats probably why i beat it.

    It successfully integrates stealth gameplay into a multiplayer setting by pitting spies against mercenaries in a four-player, two-team competitive game, and we love it.
  2. The single player game alone doesn't really warrant a purchase-a rental is easily sufficient to see all it has to offer. However, players who are blessed with a broadband connection, network adapter and USB headset should have no qualms about buying this game.
  3. Obviously with the port to PS2 the graphics have taken a hit but not nearly as much as many people would have expected.
