 Very similar to the military conflicts facing our world today, Tom Clancy takes the player into a world of life-like espionage. Sam Fisher, an officer for the National Security Agency, does covert work in order to defend American freedom. An autocratic Georgian government invades it s peaceful neighboring country, and when NATO and allied troops go to liberate the oppressed people, the Georgian dictator Kombayn Nikoladze brings war via destructive technological attacks upon the United States. Sam Fisher must discover the information leak, close it, and aide in the utter defeat of Nikoladze.
