While it lacks high-definition veneer, there still really isn't any room for complaints. Who cares if something is actually fun when it looks as damn beautiful as Pandora Tomorrow. Honestly, though, all those hoopla about gameplay means nothing. Secondly, binoculars are now equipped with thermal and heat vision, available in a first-person viewing perspective, which is great for scouting future assault points. For one, all guns are outfitted with laser sights, eliminating the need to waste an entire round of ammo to blast one light bulb however, the downside is, if you turn on that red beam, guards can see it, too. Not only is the gear-switching interface improved - now a touch of the D-pad gets you in-game access to anything your techno-lusting heart desires - Fisher has other neat stuff stashed in his utility belt. Lastly, a simple whistling technique allows you to slyly get the attention of nearby guards, which is pitch-perfect for setting up molten-black traps (roughly, that whistle translates to: 'Come over the shadows so I can introduce you to my little friend, my silenced pistol, Susie!') turn' comes close to matching its coolness, allowing you to slip past open doorways without anyone walking around inside being the wiser. By far, the 'split jump' is the slickest, allowing the spyboy to shimmy up buildings by employing some impressive thigh action. But any more description would spoil the short but incredibly sweet, memorably moments you'll have bringing peace to the corrupt, criminally chaotic future world of Tom Clancy's 2006.ДЄttitude isn't the only insurance for success luckily, Fisher makes his much-welcomed return with several new tricks. No doubt, the missions escalate in conflict, forcing you to make even more potent path decisions, from the militia camp insertion in the jungles of Kundang, Indonesia (mission five) to a high-energy pursuit of a rogue CIA operative with a bio-terror bomb tucked under his arm, running rampant in good ol' Los Angeles (mission eight). (The trip from Paris to Nice, being the sequel's third mission, is another good example of how choices are an incredible luxury, as readable in last year's first-look at the game). It's certainly a breath of fresh air when compared to the original's very linear structure. But that's beside the point, because Pandora Tomorrow at least gives you a few options along the way.

What's easier? The straight-ahead approach. Since they operate on a pre-determined patrol area, studying their moves and then striking by emerging from the rickety train is recommended. Or you can slip into the broke-down car, hiding behind dusty seats and moldy crates, as security personal comb the area for suspicious activity. As you pass by a nearby, abandoned train, you can choose to shoot out the brick-bolted lights, crawling through the darkness ever so slightly.

Gameplay variety is obvious once you successfully infiltrate the subway channels of Paris, France in the second mission.
