Features much the same jank as SC1 with quite a few instances of inexplicable enemy detections but is overall more balanced than the original. Story line feels a bit rushed but classic SC gameplay is present and on point. Rewarding and challenging down to earth stealth gameplay that will make you feel like a badass when you master it. One of the big new additions in this game is daytime missions which ups the difficulty by making you more visible.
The level concepts and level design in this game is definitely a step up from the original. The airport mission, the train mission, and the tv station mission all stand out for sure. The design of Pandora Tomorrow, like that of the first Splinter Cell, definitely does create moments where trial and error feels like the only way to progress. This is thankfully a bit less prevalent here than in the original.
Overall Pandora Tomorrow is very similar to the original Splinter Cell with some minor improvements in balance and level design. The story in this game is a bit of a mess and gets rushed over in places, but this is something I can excuse due to the gameplay being the real focus of this title.
