MODEL- 32160 VENDOR- UBISOFT

FEATURES- Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
You have the right to spy, steal, destroy and assassinate, to ensure
that American freedoms are protected. If captured, the U.S.
government will disavow any knowledge of your existence. You are
Sam Fisher. You are a Splinter Cell.
In response to the growing use of sophisticated digital encryption
to conceal potential threats to the national security of the United
States, the NSA (National Security Agency) has ushered forth a new
dawn of intelligence-gathering techniques. This top-secret
initiative is dubbed Third Echelon. Denied to exist by the U.S.
government, Third Echelon deploys elite intelligence-gathering
units consisting of a lone field operative supported by a remote
team. Like a sliver of glass, a Splinter Cell is small, sharp, and
nearly invisible.
March 10, 2004... The CIA contacted NSA officials regarding the loss
of contact with Agent Alison Madison, a CIA operative monitoring
widespread communication shortages plaguing the former Soviet
Republic of Georgia.
A second operative, Agent Blaustein, was inserted into the Georgian
capital T'bilisi to locate Agent Madison, only to drop from contact
seven days later. Fearing for the lives of American agents
compromised at the hands of a suspected terrorist effort, Third
Echelon has activated operative Sam Fisher to locate the missing
agents and evaluate the situation.
You are Sam Fisher. You must leave no trace on the physical or
political map. Remember: Although killing may compromise secrecy,
the choice between leaving a witness or a corpse is no choice at
all. You are a Splinter Cell.
* Covert stealth-action featuring a compelling original storyline and
characters inspired by the world of Tom Clancy and endorsed by the
famous author.
* Revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects
create an astonishingly realistic tension-filled experience.
* Comprehensive stealth techniques including sniping, split jumping, zip
lining, rappelling, and using human shields bring gameplay possibilities
to a new level.
* Experimental intelligence gadgets (night/thermal vision goggles,
prototype weapons and surveillance gear, etc.) give Fisher the edge
against his enemies.
Only for PlayStation 2...
* A new exclusive mission: Powerplant, in addition to the 9 existing ones.
* 30 minutes of full 3D cinematics and a movie quality introduction that
includes music recorded for the game by the famous Prague Orchestra.

Reviewed on 2008-04-03 Back for More 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!

Reviewed on 2008-03-10 Sam Fisher returns to stop the terrorists. 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. Actual score: 8.7 Gameplay: 9 Graphics: 8 Sound: 9 Value: 8 Titl: 9

Reviewed on 2007-06-14 Edge Of Your Seat Suspense 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!

Reviewed on 2007-03-19 Not as good as the first Not as good as the first Splinter Cell but still was tons of fun to play.

Reviewed on 2007-01-14 WARNING ABOUT ONLINE I bought this game for it's awesome online experience.....but it should be noted that Ubisoft has takent the servers for the PS2 and PC servers down for online.
