Brings what grabs you about Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Essentials: sneaking and hiding, a realistic look as well as a focus on a single character.

Agent 47 is pulled out of retirement and must plan silent hits across sprawling levels from Sicily to Japan, using disguises, poison, and patience to reach his targets. Missions offer many approaches but punish mistakes harshly, all backed by Jesper Kyd's sweeping score.
