Ya i just popped in Pandora Tomarrow and i'm on the 3rd level and i'm pretty dissapointed. Maybe it's because the original got old after the first level, or because it's exactly the same, or there's nothing new. But I'm just not feeling it. The controls could be toned down a little.... I find myself really struggling with the sniper rifle/assault gun/sticky shooter/shockershooter/ring shooter/night vision/thermal/camera/ gun. It really is too much.... I mean, the controls are pretty good, but in a battle they just don't come naturally, i find myself stumbling over pulling the thing out, having the right secondary fire i want, putting it on night vision, zooming in, holding the L to steady and making the shot..... while being shot. And having secondary fires that do the same thing is just uncalled for. Such as the shocker and air foil. Sorry i ended up writing a review. The point is, the sniper in halo just seems to work out for me a little better. And besides, with such fluid controls and fast pace, i could just go around killing everyone on the level within minutes. And if it was one where i couldn't kill people, then WHO CARES! I'm the -blam!- Master Chief! I'll just take on the whole world!

actualy the singel player is much better, on live when ppl get tehre a$$'s beat the leave like wuss's and then u dont get the points for winning, omg that pissed me off so much, i got the game just for live the day it came out, and got really really good at it with one of my friends we were unstoppable, and got to level 4's in like 3 days...and then stayed at that level and almost going back to 3's sometimes cause of the damn negative points, stupid things, we did everything rite, without dieing a lot, snapped necks a lot too, the whole lot, but still didnt get points, so i hate that game now.... rainbow six 3 is much better fun wise anyways...

The original was brilliant, and Pandora Tomorrow is, erm, brillianter! Multiplayer kicks arse, and the single player is bloody good as well.

Me and my friends are the only people in the world who hate Splinter Cell it seems... The series is a tarnish on Tom Clancy's product line - his name used to be synonomous with absolute realism (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon) but now those -blam!-s are 'consolifying' his games. Splinter Cell is 99.9% impossible and very unrealistic. Hell, in real life the kind of ops Sam pulls are practically non-existant. Why send a suspicious-looking American and start a war when you can just plant a CIA agent to do the work without firing a shot? The gameplay sucks - that's one weak point in my argument; you may like hiding in shadows, but the most stealth I ever employ is staying low in the corners in Raven Shield. There's simply no place for this. At the very least, they should take Clancy's name off of it, seriously - I'm a merc so I have to look around slower than a turtle -blam!-s, then get shot by a spy? Oh wait, I'm still alive because they're -blam!- without guns. Heh. PoS game, Metal Gear Solid is better (but still sucks). Only stealth game I'm looking forward to is StarCraft: Ghost. At least there's some viable explanation for all the unrealistic -blam!- going down.

You obviously don't like the genre. Splinter Cell is the benchmark for its genre IMO.

All the things are not only possible it happens everyday in foriegn countries all the time Mr. Clancy said it all himself in an interview which I have read but now can not find it He also said that the only thing that is not possible in both games is the googles that Sam Fisher wears. So all of you can go hog wild with your rants about not being able to sneak around cause your a bunch of Pansies. FOYSF

I got Pandora tommorow the day it came out and thought the single player was awesome. When I got Xbox live the Online play was even better.

They both suck, even on Live. The only Tom Clancy game I ever liked was Ghost Recon. Rainbow Six was a repetative and over-hyped camp fest that I have to grit my teeth in order to play with my friends who are addicted and wont play anything else.

I like all of the tom clancy games, but the splinter cell series is my favorite, becaus I like stealth games. I could go through practically every level with out using a bullet to kill some one(except for those few ones that actualy require you to kill a selected person. In my opinion the first one was harder because there was less check points and they were far apart, but the second one was a little easier, but I still loved. I can't wait for the third one, they already introduced a few new moves and weapons, like a knife, and being able to through people off cliffs and the edge of buildings.
