RECOMMENDED: TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON AND SPLINTER CELL
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
THE FIRST of two Tom Clancy-branded titles available for the 3DS at launch, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars takes a more tactical approach to Ubisoft’s hit series.
Dropping the first-person perspective of its bigger console counterparts, Shadow Warsis a turn-based strategy game, akin to Nintendo’s own
Advance Warsor Fire Emblem titles. However, replacing colourful anime characters and a fantasy plot are hardened soldiers and a gritty storyline reminiscent of more contemporary conflicts. Players must lead a squad of Ghost Recon soldier across Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Siberia as they try to stop a
Russian ultranationalist from coming to power.
The game is played from a top-down perspective, with players using the touch screen to issue orders and navigate the map. The game’s
development is being handled by Julian Gollop, the famed designer behind the hit PC series, X-Com.

discover who sank the US’ most advanced cruiser before the subsequent tension between the two nations triggers World War III. The core storyline and gameplay remains largely the same, although the latter has been tweaked slightly to suit the 3DS’ various control mechanics.
The touch screen gives instant access to all of the weapons, gadgets and mission information Sam needs, while the Slide Pad makes him easier to control. The Pad is also used to solve puzzles such as picking locks and hacking computers. The visuals have also been given a makeover. In addition
to the impressive 3D effects, the graphics have been improved over the original DS version of Chaos Theory. A few touches from last
year’s Splinter Cell: Conviction – such as putting on-screen messages in the environment – have also been added. All of which makes this the ultimate portable Splinter Cell.
