Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

THE BAD:
Highly fustrating
No where near as good as the other versions

SUMMARY:
This game is alright as a 2D steath adventure. The graphics are certainly the best part of the game. There are detailed and Sam looks okay, when he moves about. But the guards move like Robocop, mind. The game has ten levels for you to progress though but there rock hard and you will never ever complete it. The game plays bad compared to other version of Pandora Tomorrow. The controls are fine but you will see the screen, Mission Failed, about one million times a level. You find yourself, switching off your GBA and go off, doing something else. This is mainly whats wrong with Pandora Tomorrow and sadly, this is quite a poor title. Better luck next time...

THE BAD:
Annoying camera scanning to see ahead

You can hold down a button to scan around in some nonsensical camera mode (what, Fisher has a magic floating camera?), but unfortunately, you need to use it all the time so that you don't accidentally run into some security camera's line of sight. It constantly interrupts the flow and is...
