The original Splinter Cell was a bona-fide hit! Ubisoft's stealth game captured gamers with it's more tactical approach and Tom Clancy inspired universe. A new hot franchise was born! However Splinter Cell 's original developer, Ubisoft Montreal, would take their time with next Sam Fisher adventure leaving Ubisoft Shanghai to take up the reigns.
Ubisoft Shanghai did not reinvent the Splinter Cell wheel, much of the original game's framework was recycled for this game, but they did make it turn a little nicer and the added Spies vs Mercs multiplayer made many a gamer happy.
But 16 years on Pandora Tomorrow doesn't quite have the same recognition as it's sequels. Was this entry simply overshadowed by it's successors or is Sam Fishers second outing an underrated classic? Find out in this Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow review / retrospective.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow was developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and published by Ubisoft. It is available for the XBOX (Back compat) PS2, PS3 (HD Collection) Gamecube and PC.

Hey everybody welcome back! This video hit a little later than I would have liked but thanks for being patient with me. My Splinter Cell youtube journey continues with Pandora Tomorrow. I have to be honest I've always enjoyed Pandora Tomorrow but it's not one I return to often, frankly if I'm going to play a Splinter Cell I usually go for Chaos Theory first. But I did really enjoy returning to this one and making content for it. I found new things to apprecaite about this game, as well as reconfirmed the things I didn't like about it in the first place. What are your opinions of this one? How do you think it ranks in the Splinter Cell franchise? Be sure to let me know! As always I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe, see you in the next one. 00:00 Intro 1:02 - An in-between game - Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow background. 2:37 - Spies vs Mercs - Brief. 3:52 - Pandora Tomorrow narrative. 8:46 - Presentation 10:08 - MISSION 01 - The Embassy 10:52 - New Splinter Cell Mechanics. 13:57 - MISSION 01 - Part 2 - Doug Shetland. 15:24 - Mission design - In the spotlight. 17:23 - MISSION 02 - French brains. 18:23 - Choice in a Splinter Cell game? 19:38 - MISSION 03 - The train. 22:10 - The new Splinter Cell alarm system. 23:36 - MISSION 04 - Jerusalem. 25:00 - The voice acting... 28:42 - MISSION 04 - Part 02 - Dhalia Tal. 30:20 - MISSION 05 - Indonesia. 33:38 - MISSION 06 - The submarine. 36:25 - Splinter Cell combat. 37:10 - MISSION 07 - The TV Station. 39:30 - MISSION 08 - LAX 42:31 - Conclusion.

I think the more diverse maps, the better story, the new stealth moves (split jump and swat turn) and the improved graphics make it better than the original. The problem is the AI is so trigger happy and I find myself constantly being detected even though I’m well hidden which makes the game harder to play and enjoy. I still think it’s better, but not by much.

It's probably helped by the amazing work on light and shadow, the score and the top notch dialogue. Sure the game still has its kinks, but it's probably my second favourite.

This was a fantastic retrospective review of Pandora Tomorrow. It was actually my first Splinter Cell. I had picked up Ghost Recon 2 for the original Xbox, and there was a Pandora Tomorrow demo that came with it. You literally just play part of the first mission (the embassy). I played the demo multiple times and finally went and purchased the game. Loved it. From there I went on to buy the first Splinter Cell and loved that as well. Then Chaos Theory came out not long after that in 2005. I was 14 at the time, which honestly was a perfect age for Chaos Theory. It blew me away. Of the three, I replayed Chaos Theory the most as it had the most branching map paths and extra mission items to complete. BUT I will never forget my first time. Pandora Tomorrow will always hold a special place in my heart.
@knot3d_ Жыл бұрын
Veteran Splinter Cell player opinion here: Pandora Tomorrow and Double Agent V2 OG Xbox are my favorite Splinter Cell games. Imagine PT with Chaos Theory graphics. Also, I still feel that CT's OCP makes matters a little too easy and its ambient sound meter is nice, but then the enemy AI can't hear well enough in the first place, making the system meter system moot. I also feel that the levels in PT are more expansive than in CT with a bigger emphasis on verticality. Jerusalem is case in point here. It also doubles as one heck of a virtual tourism @ night tour (city vista when trying out the reworked SC20K). Double Agent V2 is sort of a super refined Splinter Cell omnibus game that puts the best of all of them together....except for the story outcome at the end which was a super obvious setup for Conviction at the expense of certain key characters.

Honestly, I don't want to see a new Splinter Cell game like The Division or what Ghost Recon had become. I'd like to see a very well done and tightly focused Splinter Cell. MGS5, in my opinion, showed that stealth games aren't that great stretched to gigantic and time wasting open world ones. Probably should hope for a spiritual successor at this point. I really don't trust Ubisoft to do right by this franchise.

7:42 if this game was made to be a stop gap for chaos theory theres noway that the "B" team (shenghai) was going to get permission to do some character building. i can already imagine during story building of this game that the conversation was to give the fans something familiar but refined rather than innovate so that when Chaos Theory comes, its a home run. You have to walk before you run, and this was a brisk jog rather than a full on sprint

Fantastic review and a nice trip down memory lane! I can’t remember when they switched to a different engine but I absolutely loved the look and feel of these early games. Tbh they were my lead into any kind of gaming. I didn’t want the levels to end, particularly Jerusalem which was visually and atmospherically beautiful. I know they were linear and based around the single player world but with the puzzles and varied approaches I felt pretty immersed and of course the lighting and sound built the tension. Later when the engine swapped I felt the lighting and maps became more blocky and clumsy. Here’s to Sam! Thanks for the rundown

Lol same. Redid PT which was as great as I remembered (discovered a lot more ways to complete it stealthily than when I played it as a child though lol) and redoing OG SC at the moment, which I find even better than I remember, and I remembered it as a huge experience. Awesome series. Next will be CT and DA or course.
@NKWittmann 2 жыл бұрын
If I was to go a bit further, I'd say that character development wasn't that necessary for these games... As OP said it, PT feels like "another crisis, another job to do", but this job is the game itself. DA is criticized for its departure from the classic story routine, and Blacklist is for portraying a different Fisher. The developers aimed to make the series evolved, and if it's true that I liked all of these games and the gameplay improvements in the last ones even, I'd be down for "just another day at the job" with good old Sam and Lambert, much like CT is (remember that it was criticized at the time for feeling too close to the previous games...) So in conclusion, I'd say bringing more of the same would have been bad for the press but great for fans of the series like me, because the original recipe didn't need any improvement besides, as OP pointed it, a few quality of life improvements in controls.

You know what? I think this game is way better than the original release. I recently went through all of them on the Xbox Series X and man, going from 1 to 2 is SUCH a drastic jump in quality, gameplay wise. I don't know what it was, it just felt a lot smoother to play and less unfair (of course, it has its frustrating moments). Great video as well!
@KIRKCOLLECTS 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Glenn! I think a lot of that has to do with Shanghai smoothing over a lot of the rough edges. For example Sam automatically dismantling from pipes or your equipment (lock pick, optic camera) popping up in the selection box instead of having to equip them. Those things seem small but they make a big difference. Plus yeah while there are certainly frustrating parts I think they did a good job of balancing the difficulty.

I’ve found the best way to take out Soth at the end is to sticky shock the patrolling guard (as knocking him out doesn’t cause the timer to immediately start) and then firing a diversion cam onto a pillar near Soth and the final guard, and then using the gas to knock them both out. Then I can leisurely pop all three in the head while they’re unconscious and win. And I beat them using stealth tactics too like a proper stealth operative.

I had a demo of this game as a kid, and it contained that train level. I couldn't run it on my weak machine, so I'd pop over to my friend, who had a much more powerful PC. I'd always bring him all the big new demos that I couldn't run. He had a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX, which was the most powerful graphics card that any of my friends had. I remember Prince of Persia: Sands of Time required Geforce 3 or higher, and we were so excited to try it out on his PC, but then turned out it specifically said "except for Geforce 4-MX". So as a result he was able to run the game, but it had a lot of graphical glitches. What a bummer that was :D Sorry, I went on a tangent here, it's just I miss my childhood so much.

Bugs and bad pacing aside. the game actually had so many improvements over the first. like it was the first to introduce the non-linear level design, which was carried on and refined in Chaos Theory. also I prefer Sam's face model and Lambert's voice here, I really felt like it was a downgrade in CT (it's just my opinion). also another thing what doesn't get mention is the music, sure Amon Tobin's music for CT was a masterpiece. but Jack Wall really did a tremendous job here, the music is mostly orchestra rather than techno electronic. and it creates a very unsettling surreal feel. this game definitely did a lot more than it gets credit for, and it shouldn't be forgotten

As a first timer to the Splinter Cell series, I stopped my first playthrough of SC1 at mission 8 and begun a playthrough of Pandora Tomorrow immediately, and I'm so glad I did. Pandora Tomorrow is difficult, but not as "trial-and-error" as SC1, and is also more accessible thanks to the QOL improvements and more refined level design, keeping the atmosphere of the first game intact. If THIS is how much better Pandora Tomorrow is, I can't wait to go through Chaos Theory.

I've replayed first three games last year. Unlike SAR and CT, before that I only played PT only once. And I replayed PT once more after that, to analyze it better. I still regard it lower than SAR and CT, but it's way better than I remembered. One big flaw, that really hurts the game, is lack of text during missions. Too few dialogs between guards or Sam interrogations (compared to CT) or curious text emails (a mission in SAR could easily had a dozen of those, while in PT mission there's rarely more than three). Even that forced action sequence at the end of submarine level was way too random, because there were no proper set up or warning, while in SAR they always tried to set them up with some radio chatter to give context. And these small things give a lot of character to the game, but PT lacks it, sadly

41:58 You actually can do it without start the timer and eliminate everyone (even Soth) from the shadows as long as not even the workers spot you. It's tricky enough to make you go crazy with a single mistake tho 😂

Double Agent gives choices to the player that become completely irrelevant in the overall story. You can choose to frame Enrica or not, but the canon choice is framing her. You can choose to save Lambert or kill him, but the canon choice is killing him. The truth is Double Agent gives the player the ILLUSION of choice but the actual choice was already made before hand by the developers.

I always found Splinter Cell Essentials had better voice acting. It was also pretty bad in an otherwise underrated and fun game but unlike non Sam dialog in Pandora Tomorrow, it was entertaining to listen to, such as the mooks and bad guy in the steel mill mission talking like pouty teenagers in detention during summer, or most of the what everyone says in Ellsworth prison. Personally I know Lambert's Pandora Tomorrow voice actor from goofs in Essentials where they reused his dialog such as when alarms go off. He also played God in Lucifer but I haven't actually seen that far in the series yet.

I don't get the guard's voice actors accents problem, MGS3 didn't gave their GRU and KGB operatives Russian accents either and people loved that game.

Great video! I've completed that game years ago on my old pc and that was fun. Any idea how it can be played on modern gaming laptop without optical drive? As it's not available to download on steam or uplay... I can play my favourite first part Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory even on Steam Deck perfectly now but Pandora Tomorrow is missing unfortunately... Thanks

When you said "lets open up pandora's box" I actually thought you had a in-box physical copy and you were gonna open it and put it in the console/pc you are playing on

29:55 Honestly, the moment the game give you this choice feels so heavy, even if there is no impact on the further gameplay. You're right it is a really memorable moment if the game. Lambert orders you to blindly kill a woman, no question asked. And it really puts you into Sam shoes for a big dilemma. It asks yourself "Are you becoming a trained murder machine, or do you still question whether or not you should take the life of somebody else?" And we can feel Sam is left greatly shaken from this choice, if we take the route of killing Dalhia. He genuinely fears having crossed a massive red line for himself and questions if he belongs to the good guys afterall.

Your opinion about Voice Acting for this game is I can agree with. I'm an Indonesian and I don't think this so-titled “Indonesian people” speak like our native tongue including other people like in Paris or even some Mercenaries that says made from France & Syria. Their accent is bit off and not so good like a downgrade compared to the first and maybe the next entries.

One thing about the alarms is they can be raised by a guard who sees you milliseconds before you elbow his nose in. Guards don't have to run to panels to set them off, leading to some bs moments. I set off way more alarms in PT than I did in the original, and both playthroughs went about the same. Couple this with the laughable voice acting, inconsistent shadows, and spotty AI, and PT comes off as a cheaper feeling game to me. It has some great levels and I will give them props for adding a bunch of qualty of life changes, but as it stands, I still prefer the original. Ubisoft Montreal just *got* Splinter Cell better.

PT is Splinter Cell 1.5 same gameplay with a few necessary improvements and cool levels/missions bit also with same type of stiff mechanics. but this is probably the charm of these retro/classic games. they are great. I love them.

@@LevisH21 Playing them back to back, the AI and shadow detection definitely felt like a step down in PT. Not a bad game by any means, but a more frustrating experience for me for sure. Especially since I played em on the original Xbox, which meant no quicksaves.

I don't think this game's underrated but I think it's improvements are invaluable to make chaos theory possible. I would never replay it again especially some of the bullshit end game parts, But I would never curse its name either.

Speaking of bad voice acting... Gotta love how half the people pronounce it "Suh-Dah-Noh" and the other half pronounce it "Suh-Doh-Noh"... Even when they're in dialogue with each other saying the name differently. Lol. 37:14
