Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
About the Game
Splinter Cell is a third-person action game with a focus on stealth, similar to the Metal Gear Solid series. players take on the role of Sam Fisher, an operative for the secret organization NSA Black Operation, part of the U.S. government. The organization deals with very sensitive missions, often taken on by a Third Echelon splinter cell division Fisher is part of. His missions are so discreet, that if he is captured the government will deny any such existence of that organization.
Gameplay & Core Systems
To get around and reach his objectives, Fisher has a variety of moves at his disposal. He can walk, run, crouch, jump, rappel, shimmy, cross horizontal wires, zip using a zip cord, and do a split jump. He can use weapons, but the noise might alert guards and that generally makes it more difficult to complete missions. Fisher can for instance jump down from the ceiling and knock an opponent unconscious. Therefore enemies can be taken hostage by holding a gun to their head.
Standout Features
- Opponents can be stunned, killed, or subdued.
- They can also be interrogated or be used as human shields.
- Other features include the ability to peak through a door before going through or use an optic cable camera (a "snake" camera) to peer through the underside, to check what is ahead.
- As the focus is on stealth, the amount of weapons is rather small.
- There is an FN F2000 assault rifle that can be fitted with a silencer and other modifications, and there is a suppressed FN Five-Seven pistol.
- Fisher has access to a light meter to check how visible he is, and night vision as well as thermal goggles to see in the dark and view warmer temperatures in colour.
