input ="The Sum of All Fears" is a
video game developed byRed Storm Entertainment and published byUbisoft for the PC (2002) andNintendo GameCube (2003). The game is based on the "Ghost Recon" game engine. The GameCube version was (in sharp contrast to the PC version) extremely poorly received, with bothGame Rankings andMetacritic giving it an average rating of 36%.A version for the
Game Boy Advance was developed in 2002 by Crawfish Interactive.The game is based on the film of the same name, which is in turn based on the
Tom Clancy book. It is a tacticalfirst-person shooter and is very similar in style to that of the "Rainbow Six" series of games.tory
The game's first two missions took place sometime during the movie, in which an
FBI Hostage Rescue Team works to save hostages in a TV station, and shut down operations from a Virginian militia. From the third mission on, John Clark recruits the team to the C.I.A. and has the operatives work on seeking out and killing the conspirators behind the Baltimore incident.Gameplay
"The Sum of All Fears" uses a significantly simplified version of the gameplay seen in the "Ghost Recon" series. There is no planning phase to each mission; instead the player's 3-man team executes a pre-planned insertion with other anti-terrorist teams controlled solely by the computer. However, the player is free to deviate from the planned route and select their own path.
The player also cannot individually select the equipment each team member carries. Instead, the player choses from a small selection of pre-defined equipment packages for the entire team.
On each mission, the player has control of his two teammates, and can take direct control of any of them at any time. The player can also give a few rudimentary commands to his teammates, such as "wait here", "follow me", and "clear/grenade/flashbang the next room".
