Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell is not the first stealth-based action game, but it will be the
game that future entries in the genre will be judged against for some time to
come.
Part of Splinter Cell's appeal is its tense, real-world, and ultimately
believable story. As a highly-trained special forces operative, you must
uncover and ultimately stop an insidious terrorist plot that could lead to a
global scale conflict. And it's just you. There is no team and no
back-up. If you get caught your own country will disavow all knowledge of
you and your operation. Good thing you have a wide variety of moves and
high-tech gadgets at your disposal to help you avoid detection. And once
you complete this long and challenging game, you can download additional levels
via an Xbox Live account.
Not only does the game play great, it looks great as well. This game
pushes the Xbox hardware to the max, making the console truly live up to its
potential. The lighting effects and material physics are incredible, and
the animations are smooth and life-like. It all serves to make Splinter
Cell an immersive and thoroughly enjoyable gaming experience.
