Description
The player takes on the role of Sam Fisher, an operative for the National Security Agency's sub agency, the Third Echelon. The Third Echelon consists of many Splinter Cells. It has the support and resources of the major U.S. intelligence agencies, but will never be recognised by the U.S. government. If any cell of Third Echelon is captured or compromised the government will disavow any knowledge of its existence and the remaining members will vanish.

Fisher is inducted into the Third Echelon with an important first mission. Two CIA agents have disappeared in T'Bilisi, Georgia after investigating communications blackouts in the area. Fisher will uncover more than a couple of corpses when he infiltrates the Georgian government and unveils a threat that will have devastating consequences for the American people.

Splinter Cell is a stealth-oriented action game set in a Tom Clancy-inspired landscape. All kinds of cool high-tech gadgets are at your disposal to help you neutralise terrorist threats. Night vision, thermal vision, EM sensors, sticky cams, and other whiz-bang tech toys help you spot the bad guys, and your broad array of weapons--lethal and not--include suppressed pistols and assault rifles, sticky shock bombs, Ring-Airfoil Projectiles, and the most lethal weapon of all: Sam Fisher himself. Climb, mantle, and sneak your way through a game that won E3 2002’s “Best Action/Adventure Game” award as well as the Game Developer’s Choice Award for Excellent in Writing. With a tightly-written plot, unbeatable mechanics, and an iconic character, it’s no wonder this is the start of a long--and excellent--series.
  • Includes Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell®: Mission Pack with three additional missions: the original Kola Cell mission, Vselka Infiltration, and Vselka Submarine.
  • Go Behind the Headlines into the real world of modern espionage.
  • Diverse mission objectives achievable by different means for increased replay value.
  • Highly interactive environments giving players more gameplay options and the ability suit their actions to their preferred gameplay style.

Great game - with many flaws

Those who have played and loved this game in their childhood (when it originally came out in the early 2000's) may probably more indulgent with it, but without the nostalgia glasses Splinter Cell clearly shows its age and lots of design issues that mostly comes from the fact the third person stealth genre (and the Splinter Cell formula) was quite young around that time. Pros: -great voice acting (mainly from Michael Ironside) -considering its age, the graphics often look pretty cool -funny NPCs encounters -occasional cinematic moments -the overall writing is decent Cons: -frustratingly inconsistent AI which sometimes follows annoying, scripted events, sometimes it just goes into the odd territory (like a guard noticing a turned off lamp even though he's looking into another direction and the door is closed) -unreasonable design decisions like the doors players cannot close (but the doors themselves keep closing, which can be often annoying), or the artificial shooting inaccuracy -boring, linear level design -gameplay heavily relying on trial and error -awkward controls/platforming

Great story, great stealth-based game.

An excellent stealth-based game with an intriguing story. Graphics, sound, music, and voice acting are all top-notch. There is somewhat of a learning curve at the beginning, but once you learn what the game expects of you, you will be on your way to become a top agent in one of the best stealth games of all time. The next two sequels are even better. As much as I enjoyed the Medieval elements of the Thief series, I also enjoyed this modern take on the stealth genre.

Fun stealth game that has aged well.

AI is smart enough, growing more difficult as the story progresses, and you have a good amount of moves and tools at your disposal. I only really have two gripes: 1) a couple segments of the game are guns-blazing, action-centric which doesn't play well with stealth mechanics. During those segments you can be sitting still for 10 seconds straight and still have a good chance of missing unless you're scoped in with FN2000. 2) the dlc/expansion missions must be manually selected in order to play. While they continue to increase the challenge and make use of mechanics barely explored in the main game, I can't help but feel that there is a drop in quality in them compared to the main story. There are no debriefings after the 3 missions, just a generic "Mission complete" image. Enemies would often get suck in silly places or there'd be places you think you can interact with, only to clip through them.

One of the best Stealth game.

Splinter cell the first chapter is one of my favourite stealth game. If you don't know what is splinter cell nowadays here in fig you can take for 1.30 euro when have discount, if you don't like it after you played you can't suffer too much because is very cheap when they have the offer. It's a good game where you need to take advantage of environment, and you need to be in the shadows and be the shadow. You can plan the action, but in some point can't kill people, in most cases you should hide other bodies in the shadows to don't let other guards detect their disappearance. I recommend to buy. (Buy when there's the discount offer will be 1.30 euro 💶 can buy, come on it's a really good game, in the worst case scenario you just lost 1.30 €) Nice game, but they disappointed me to do not put Italian language --> the original release has and this doesn't. I don't understand a lot of dialogues because their accent and speaking too fast. I used to play with a lot of games in English flawless but this I have some difficulty to fully understand. I don't understand how gog does not put Italian language when in the original game release had.--> gog this you need to improve.
