Ubi Soft Entertainment's Award-Winning Stealth Action Game for the Xbox is
ready to take the PC Audience by Storm
Game fans everywhere will be excited to learn that the hottest title to hit
the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft this holiday season, Tom
Clancy's Splinter Cell(TM) , has gone gold. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for
the Xbox has won numerous awards since its release in November including
Xbox Game of the Year from IGN and GameSpy, and GameSpot's Xbox Editor's
Choice Award. The PC version promises the same action-intensity, stunning
visuals and distinct sound effects of the Xbox version. Since the release
of the demo online, more than 700,000 downloads of Tom Clancy's Splinter
Cell PC have transpired. The game is expected to hit store shelves in
mid-February.
Developed by the Montreal Studio of Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the
world's largest video game publishers, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was
released for the Xbox in November 2002 and quickly became one of the top
selling, and most highly rated game for that platform, with an average
rating of 94.4 (out of a possible 100) based on a sample of 54 reviews.
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 Fishe--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 showcase the amazing
gameplay.
§ 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
