Tom Clancy's tactical espionage series staring Sam Fisher.
Overview
Splinter Cell is another in the long line of games endorsed by Tom Clancy, they are third-person stealth games developed and published by Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Montreal. The series began with the release of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on November 18, 2002. The games star is an NSA agent named Sam Fisher, since the series premiere Sam has stared in all six games.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Splinter Cell has always been based on stealth, you are given objectives by your superior officers, some of which are illegal and could result in major political backlash, so he must do his job as covertly as possible. The guards in the facilities Sam has to infiltrate would sound the alarm and search for him if they saw a body, an unconscious man, or Sam himself. For the first two games the mission was aborted when a set number of alarms were triggered, the third game on the other hand would have guards fortify important points around the level if an alarm is sounded. Pandora Tomorrow introduced a multiplayer mode where two agents go against two terrorists, each side having their own unique equipment. In Chaos Theory a co-operative story mode was developed where a new set of moves could be performed by both players acting as a team. In the fifth game in the series, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, a moral aspect was added. Since Sam Fisher was undercover he must balance keeping his cover by obeying the orders of the terrorist leaders, or risk blowing his cover by assisting the NSA.
