It’s not everyday that you’re allowed to experience the ins and outs of the National Security Agency (NSA)—until now. In Splinter Cell, you play as Sam Fisher, an agent who understands the meaning of clandestine special warfare. Working for a special black-operations NSA department, your missions involve infiltrating highly secure buildings to retrieve valuable information, contact informants, and even kidnap suspected criminals all in the name of, well, national security.
The motives may be questionable, but your actions in the field reflect the intensity of the entire game. Splinter Cell is based mostly on stealth tactics—gunning down everybody in your sights is not an option. You’ll use the shadows for cover, while scaling walls, crawling through vents, and sliding down zip lines are all in a day’s work. Performing these and other fun acrobatic moves is a simple task, too.
