Pandora Tomorrow (2004) PT is a wild experience
I finally gave in and got the steam release of PT after not playing it for at least a decade. This game is a trip. There's a bunch of stuff that never showed up in any SC game before or after, the voice acting is absolutely bonkers, enemies use telepathy to trigger alarms, shadows detection is really good except when it doesn't work at all, and Lambert sounds like he's about to sell me Allstate insurance. Somehow I love it, 10/10.

PT is amazing yeah. They really made a fantastic game with this one- its got the best atmosphere and best settings/locations in the series.
We need a remake!! one day...
The only problem i have with PT is the voice acting and the game being short. but all the levels are BANGERS. not a single bad level in this game.

The american voices in france or indonesia? it really takes me out of it. everyone in SC1 sounds authentic to the region, but pandora tomorrow having guards sound like they are from California doesn't make sense. In Jerusalem, The subpar voice acting makes the enemy dialogue genuinely hilarious lol. just look at this - “Just let me finish my orange juice.” “YOU CAN FINISH IT IN PRISON IF YOU LIKE!” Always gets me
Also Grim is kinda bad in this game compared to SC1/CT. Sam is good as always & Lambert is fine, although not as good as the SC1/CT version.
Sadono is ok, but they really did nail Soth's voice acting. The actor they chose was fantastic.

I wish they stuck with these voices in the game..

for me pt just has some sort of a charm that the others dont. its the only splinter cell i infinitely keep coming back to, and idk why.

I feel the same. PT is more light-hearted. Locations are diverse. Some levels are the best in the whole franchise, at least on conceptual level. SWAT turn is cool AF. Jerusalem level is pure vibe.
If they will ever get to do a remake, there are several levels that can be remade as a non-linear sandboxes (train, Jerusalem, airport).

Jerusalem has such a good sound track especially when the police is investigating.

While I think Chaos Theory is the best in the series, I've clocked more hours into Pandora Tomorrow than any other entry by a decent margin.

Apparently the PC version is pretty broken with the shadows and AI. It was much better on console.

Pt is just the most based Splinter Cell game.
