Splinter Cell
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a critically-acclaimed stealth-based video game, developed by Ubi Soft, that follows the activities of American special ops Sam Fisher as he does all manner of climbing, tiptoeing, jumping, and sniping.
Set in 2004, the player acts as Sam Fisher, a long-dormant secret agent reactivated by the NSA as part of a secret division dubbed "Third Echelon". The Third Echelon uses "Splinter Cells", single operatives supported by a small team, to conduct missions in hostile territory. When two CIA agents disappear in Georgia, Fisher is deployed to retrieve the agents and uncover what is believed to be a terrorist plot. The NSA suspects the plot revolves around Georgian president Kombayn Nikoladze who starts an information crisis in America and its "army of scarecrows". Sam's job is to solve this crisis and find Nikoladze.
Splinter Cell was first released on November 17, 2002 in North America for the Xbox game console. It was later ported to PCs and the PlayStation 2 in early 2003 and the GameCube in the spring of 2003. Versions for the Game Boy Advance and N-Gage handheld game consoles were also released in 2003.
The sequel Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow was released end of March 2004.
