Guide Review - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell received rave reviews at the E3 show this year and after playing this game once, you will be able to see why. Splinter Cell is a third person military action game that redefines action. The storyline and graphics are remarkable. With effects of shadowing, lighting, animation and more, UBI Soft's product is a unique gaming experience. In Splinter Cell, you take the role of an operative in a top secret intelligence gathering unit, that must use a combination of stealth, tense action, and gadgets in order to complete your mission. You won't be charging head on into a battle, rather you'll find ways to become invisible, sneaking though buildings and hiding in shadows until just the right moment.
