Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

THE GOOD:
Graphics, stealth, gameplay, stealth, stealth and well... Stealth

THE BAD:
Quite hard, people talk like robots and some bits are way too dark even for Sam!

SUMMARY:
This was an instant hit with me as I loved the first one on the XBOX and it's easily made the transaction onto the PS2. The online games are just heaven in a bottle! The only things that let it down were the difficulty, the fact that the talk like robots and he's just too well camouflaged to be human.

I've spent ours fighting with my brothers to win the arguement... is Sam Fisher a human? He seems to blend into the background, but the enemies spot him and when your clear as daylight the walk right past you!

It won't be one for the kiddies and it won't be popular with the wuzzies who are afraid of the big, nasty terrorists, but I say... It makes the SAS proud!

THE GOOD:

Superb sneaking

Great use of the analogue sticks...

Especially for usage of the camera

Great level design

From what I know - excellent online-play; worth getting online alone...

Great singe-player levels in variety and suspense

As you'd guess, great use of stealh and shadows

Super sound, voice-acting and music, especially when an alarm gets set off and your piers are indicating you of your troubles ahead - gotta love that drum-based suspense

Usage of USB headset

A lot of awesome gadgets and weapons (if only 2)

Brilliant graphics regarding lighting-effects and thermal heat-vision...

THE BAD:

...But for some reason, the night-vision mode looks slightly murky

Despite the single-player being great, it's a tad short (but undoubtedly hard)

Somewhat un-forgiving at times

Missions can be linear

SUMMARY:
No doubt the best...

THE GOOD:
~The stealth like game play
~The graphics
~The physics
~The detail to many things
~The cool moves you can do
~The multiplyer (if you have online on PS2)

THE BAD:
~The enemies make stupid movements

SUMMARY:
This game is a must own (especially if you online for your PS2 to play with) as the game makers have added in multiplayer this time round.

The game kicks off straight away (as in the last game there was a training mission). They kind off mixed half of a level with a practice part but you don't really notice it.

The game play is way better this time where there is more action harder difficulty and better levels. As seen in the pictures from the images page you can see that this game brings you into the jungle for the first time. This is quite interesting and makes the both the games different and unique.

The garphics are still the same but they are still good. The detail to things is extrordinly...

THE GOOD:
Great graphics
New Moves
New Weapons
Online Multiplayer
Great Storyline
The 360 degree camera, very helpful and a great inclusion like the first one

THE BAD:
Ubi Soft have used the same engine as Splinter Cell 1
It is shorter than the original

SUMMARY:
UBI SOFT have done it again with the Splinter Cell series. Pandora Tomorrow is one great game. Pandora Tomorrow uses the same game engine as the original, which may be a bad thing but it has great graphics as a result. They also have the original moves in it but they have improved them like the split jump and added in more like the swat turn. The new weapons come in the form of flashbang and chaff grenades. Not a lot of new weapons but they are handy and remember Sam is a stealth agent. Also UBI SOFT have come up with a great storyline again and this is one of the game's strong points.

Now to the online mode, I haven't played this yet but from what I have heard...

THE GOOD:
Multiplayer! The first multiplayer stealth game! Ubi has also added more gadgets, completely different enviroments. The sound is better. More realistic moves, such as a SWAT turn. A must buy.

THE BAD:
Same engine used. Once again you only have two main weapons. A pistol and a SC-20K. It should have been longer.

SUMMARY:
*Little things like being able to open doors while carrying bodies have been added.
*It has a completely different look; These include: the start menu, the main menu, even while in snipe mode.
*It has multiplayer mode with tutorials. (I haven't played it online yet, I still need to get my connection back up).
*The story-line is more interesting and realistic than the original SC. It involves something that we (Americans) might have to worry about someday.
*The enemy AI is a little better.
