Video Gaming News - November 2002
San Francisco, CA (November 18, 2002) - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, is
on its way to United States store shelves today. The game was developed by Ubi
Soft Entertainment's Montreal studio only for Xbox this holiday season.
"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is one of the year's best action games," said Ed
Fries, vice president of Game Content, Xbox. "The intense storyline keeps you
holding your breath with every step you take. The use of lighting in this game
is not only stunning; it really improves the overall experience as the player
blends into the shadows to avoid detection. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell really
shows what Xbox is capable of as a console, and the developers have created a
masterpiece that is sure to be a huge holiday hit."
From Ubi Soft:
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 carries a "T" (Teen) rating from the ESRB and will
be priced at $49.99.
