Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials takes players deep into the Splinter Cell saga. Experience all-new missions and objectives exclusive to the PSP system, and discover the untold story of Sam Fisher through flashbacks to various missions from the entire Splinter Cell franchise, including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent. Immediately following the events of Splinter Cell Double Agent, Sam Fisher is placed under arrest and brought to the NSA Headquarters. As a government interrogator pressures him to confess his involvement in terrorist activities (whatever the truth is), Sam discovers that fraudulent mission files depict him as an unstable, violent and insubordinate agent. Concealment, fraud, manipulation, lies... Sam Fisher is now trapped in a huge conspiracy: he will have to search into his past to find out who is hiding behind all this, and ultimately begin the arduous quest to clear his name.
