Storyline:
You are Sam Fisher. A lone shadow-operative in a world where lost seconds can
allow terrorist plans to become deadly reality. You operate in the heart of
hostile territory. Spy. Steal. Destroy. Assassinate. Just don't ever be seen.
Because when the stakes are this high, the choice between leaving a witness or a
corpse is no choice at all. When two CIA agents mysteriously vanish in the
former Soviet republic of Georgia, the NSA's secret sub agency, Third Echelon,
deploys Sam Fisher-its most capable splinter cell operative-to recover them.
Fisher soon uncovers a deeper conspiracy: a plot that threatens to destabilize
the world order and spark nuclear conflict.
Details:
- Covert stealth-action featuring a compelling original storyline and
characters inspired by the world of Tom Clancy and endorsed by the famous
author.
- Revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects
create an astonishingly realistic tension-filled experience.
- Diverse stealth techniques including sniping, split jumping, zip lining,
rappelling, and using human shields bring gameplay possibilities to a new
level.
- Experimental intelligence gadgets (night/thermal vision goggles, prototype
weapons and surveillance gear, etc.) give Fisher the edge against his enemies.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell will ship November 18, 2002 for the Xbox video
game system from Microsoft, and November 26, 2002 for PC. It carries a "T"
(Teen) rating from the ESRB and will be priced at $49.99.
