Game Overview

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell introduces a new type of game to the line-up: a 3rd person stealth action game with cyber-terrorism, shadow agencies and covert operations on the menu. The player controls Sam Fisher, a field operative of a secretive "black-ops" NSA sub-agency called THIRD ECHELON. Alone, yet armed with some of the best hi-tech weapons on the market, Sam Fisher is geared up to infiltrate and neutralize the enemy - all without leaving a trace. Sam is sent into action when two CIA agents mysteriously disappear in Azerbaijan...

The Bottom Line

Third-person stealth action game, puts you in control of Sam Fisher, an ex-CIA, ex-Navy SEAL who's called into service at the request of the National Security Agency. The NSA has commissioned a new sub-agency called Third Echelon to gather intelligence in the colder, more cruel geopolitical landscape of 2004. Third Echelon has the latitude to deploy Splinter Cells -- such as Sam -- highly trained operatives who are granted the "Fifth Freedom" to do whatever it takes to protect the country. The downside is that if Sam's ever caught doing dirt, the US government will disavow any knowledge of his existence. The gadget-laden action game features 14 missions and 13 hi-tech weapons.

A great game on its own merits, and it offers a slick and rewardingly suspenseful gameplay experience that's sometimes reduced to frustrating bouts of trial and error.

Features one of the smoothest, most precise, easy-to-use cameras that I have ever experienced in a game. This is perhaps the game's greatest innovation.

This is the kind of game I imagined when I used to dream about the experiences next generation consoles were going to give us. Splinter Cell is one of the smartest games I've ever played.
