Splinter Cell takes you into the world of Sam Fisher, a top-secret specialist agent who goes where no one dares, unseen and unheard. High-tech espionage doesn't get more realistic or deadly!
!1: Best Buy This, my friends, is a piece of history right here. Officially known as "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell," first released in 2002 for all sixth-generation consoles. It proudly boasts a little saying on the front cover: "Stealth Action Redefined." And yes, when it was first released, it totally did redefine stealth action. Let me explain below.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was the first game to introduce stealth gameplay based on light and shadow. Now, thanks to this game, you didn't have to only use cover and obstacles to get past enemies. You could now hide anywhere there were dark shadows. This vastly improves the fun aspect and makes the game more realistic. To add on to that, you can also turn off light switches and shoot out lights to create additional shadows to hide in! You aren't limited to just sneaking from one dark patch to another.
Now, on to the actual gameplay. As every person on this planet knows, this is a stealth game in every sense of the word. You have limited ammo (at most 60 rounds) for both your pistol and rifle, and you can die with just a couple of shots. Even though your weapons are silenced, enemies can still hear the dying gasps of their comrades and immediately start shooting at you. And if they find an actual dead body, they run and sound an alarm. In some cases, that's automatically game over.
So, what's the solution? You have to move quitely, mainly through crouching, to dark shadows and use non-lethal means to take enemies out. In the first few levels, this means getting up close to them from behind and hitting them with your elbow or dropping down on their head from a higher vantage point. Later, when you acquire your rifle for the first time, you can use the secondary launcher to fire gadgets from there, mainly Sticky Shockers and Airfoil Rounds. After an enemy is knocked out, in the game world, he doesn't get back up, unless another enemy finds and awakens him, so just hide the body in the shadows if you don't want to waste the bullets and actually kill him.
The one thing that is terribly annoying in this game is the alarm system. If you don't hide a body in a dark place and you leave an area, an alarm automatically sounds. Three alarms and the mission's over. That is so retarded. Why did they do that if you've already eliminated all the enemies in an area? It doesn't make sense.
Now, you have to play this game on the Xbox to fully appreciate it. Any lesser system just doesn't cut it. The graphics are so incredible it's hard to believe. You begin to forget that it's just a game. Again, don't play this on the PS2 or Gamecube, (if you somehow still have them) or you'll be incredibly disappointed.
The story introduces us to the now iconic Sam Fisher, who has been enlisted by a secret sub-group of the National Security Administration known as Third Echelon. Fisher accepts and after a brief training session is sent on his first mission. Over the course of the game, he discovers that the new president of Georgia, Kombeyn Nickoladze, has been secretly invading Azierbaijan to acquire their rich oil reserves. He used advanced algorithms known as the "Masse Kernals" developed by Philipe Masse to hide evidence of the invasion. When the US and their allies intervene in the situation, Nickoladze goes into hiding and activates the rest of the Masse Kernals to cripple the US electronic infrastructure, causing death and massive chaos. Fisher investigates further and discovers Nickoladze has partnered with a rogue Chinese general, Kong Feirong, who has been giving Nickoladze nuclear waste in exchange for training and munitions. After destroying that alliance, Fisher learns that a nuclear suitcase bomb called "The Ark" has been smuggled into America and Nickoladze knows the location. Before he can give the location to the new president of Georgia, Varlam Christave, he's assassinated by Fisher in the Presidential Palace. The US military then finds the "Ark" hidden a short distance from Washington D.C. and safely destroys it.
This game is definitely one not to be missed. It totally redefined stealth action and gives you relative freedom to accomplish the missions and take down enemies however you like. It spawned a great legacy that continues even to this day. Buy it for the Xbox only, (if you still somehow have your original with you) and get ready to experience true greatness. on Sale!
