Highly-Anticipated Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell(TM) for the PC To Hit Store Shelves Soon

Ubi Soft Entertainment's Award-Winning Stealth Action Game Released Today

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. February 18, 2003  - PC game fans everywhere are excited to learn that Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell(TM), one of the hottest games of the year, has shipped and will soon be available on store shelves.  Expected to blow PC game fans away, the game is already a critical success earning Editor's Choice awards from both Computer Gaming World and PC Gamer.

Developed by the Montreal Studio of Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's largest video game publishers, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was released for the Xbox(TM) in November 2002 and quickly became one of the top selling, and most highly rated game for that platform, with an average rating of 94.4 (out of a possible 100) based on a sample of 54 reviews.  The game will be available on other next-generation consoles later this year.

Storyline:
You are Sam Fisher. A lone shadow-operative in a world where lost seconds can allow terrorist plans to become deadly reality. You operate in the heart of hostile territory. Spy. Steal. Destroy. Assassinate. Just don't ever be seen. Because when the stakes are this high, the choice between leaving a witness or a corpse is no choice at all.    When two CIA agents mysteriously vanish in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, the NSA's secret sub agency, Third Echelon, deploys Sam Fisher-its most capable splinter cell operative-to recover them. Fisher soon uncovers a deeper conspiracy: a plot that threatens to destabilize the world order and spark nuclear conflict.

Details:
"       Covert stealth-action featuring a compelling original storyline and characters inspired by the world of Tom Clancy and endorsed by the famous author.

"       Revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects create an astonishingly realistic tension-filled experience.

"       Diverse stealth techniques including sniping, split jumping, zip lining, rappelling, and using human shields bring gameplay possibilities to a new level.

"       Experimental intelligence gadgets (night/thermal vision goggles, prototype weapons and surveillance gear, etc.) give Fisher the edge against his enemies.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell carries a "T" (Teen) rating from the ESRB and has an MSRP of $49.99.
