Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell® introduces a new type of game to the lineup: a third-person stealth action game with cyber-terrorism, shadow agencies and covert operations on the menu. Take control of Sam Fisher, a field operative of a secretive "black-ops" NSA sub-agency called THIRD ECHELON.
Alone, yet armed with some of the best high-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 …
Stealth moves: Never seen before stealth moves, including the diving somersault, ledge hang, pipe climb, peeking around walls, dragging and hiding bodies, wall bounce, and drop attacks.
Interactive environments: Pick up and use any small object in the environment, shoot any light and take advantage of shadows, and devise cunning solutions from your environment (aquariums, oil barrels, etc.).
Diverse missions: Undertake 14 missions through 4 countries, with over 100 different characters. Infiltrate high-security strongholds (including CIA headquarters), neutralize anyone who opposes mission goals (from hackers to special forces soldiers), seize critical intelligence, destroy threatening data and equipment, and disappear without a trace. You are authorized to operate with carte blanche: succeed by any means necessary. You exist above the law, and your deeds blur the lines of morality.
Next-gen experience: Driven by Ubi Montreal's highly modified version of the next-gen Unreal engine, custom technologies used include vertex shaders, pixel shaders, texture rendering and z-shadow mapping bringing game environments to life.
