November 12, 2002 - Ubi Soft® Entertainment, one of the world\'s largest video game publishers, has formed local marketing partnerships with Microsoft throughout Europe and Australia to promote the November 28 European release of Tom Clancy\'s Splinter CellTM for the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft. While marketing actions vary from country to country, the overall strategy is to introduce Splinter Cell as a new huge franchise within the Tom Clancy brand and to position it as a game of choice for Xbox. Microsoft and Ubi Soft have made a joint investment to ensure Splinter Cell is a success this Christmas.

"The Splinter Cell buzz keeps getting louder thanks to our local marketing efforts with Microsoft," said Alain Corre, Ubi Soft\'s Managing Director for Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America."We already have 1.1 million pre-orders across the world for the game, and the momentum is building as more people discover how we\'ve taken stealth-action gaming to a whole new level."

"Splinter Cell is emerging as one of the most-wanted games on Xbox this Christmas," said Michel Cassius, European Director of Publishing, Xbox. "It\'s the best-looking games ever created, and has already been garnering rave reviews in the specialist press in addition to its ECTS Game of the Show award. We\'re pleased that the developers chose Xbox to bring their vision to life, especially since this is a game that is redefining the stealth-action genre. We\'re working with our partner Ubi Soft to ensure this game gets a marketing campaign every bit as effective as one of Sam Fisher\'s secret gadgets."

Got to go with the PC version because I stink in FPS with the controller.

Keep remembering that spanking I took on UT championship at E3. I finished dead last behind a girl. Just did not play enough Halo I guess.

Anyway KB and mouse for me to enjoy this game fully.

Shamed to admit it but I was not aware of that. Goes to show what I knew about this game.

That might change things a bit. I wonder if the downloadable content will be the same for both versions? Just got the demo so I will have to give it a try. Thanks LIC.

At the moment, there is no intention of having downloadable content for the PC version.

The XBox version should have 1 mission ready to download for released, and then possibly anywhere from 3missions, to 11missions available for download on XBox in the future.
