  Description

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell introduces a new type of game to the line-up: a 3rd person stealth action game with cyber-terrorism, shadow agencies and covert operations on the menu.

Alone, yet armed with some of the best hi-tech weapons on the market, Sam Fisher is geared up to infiltrate and neutralize the enemy -- all without leaving a trace. Sam is sent into action when two CIA agents mysteriously disappear in Azerbaijan . .
