Sum Of All Fears Game Announced

April 25, 2002 3:35 PM

Ubi Soft today officially announced their plans to release games based on Tom Clancy's Sum Of All Fears. The game is based on the movie which is being released next month as well as the original Tom Clancy novel. In the U.S., the Sum of All Fears game will be released in May while Europeans will have to wait until fall. Console versions of the game will be released as well. Usually games based on movies are pretty bad, but with the Ghost Recon engine and Rainbow Six-like gameplay, who knows.

The Sum Of All Fears games will be based on events from both Tom Clancy's novel and Paramount Pictures' movie, immersing players in the middle of a high-stakes adventure as members of an FBI elite hostage rescue team reassigned to track down the conspirators of a major plot against the United States. Players can choose to play as part of a three-player team or up to 36 players can join the multiplayer action on the ubi.com gaming portal as well as the internet. The game takes place in a number of modern day locations, including West Virginia, the Middle East, and South Africa, and allows players to follow the story of The Sum Of All Fears via rendered cinematics depicting vital plot points from the novel and movie.

We have two screenshots from the game, as well as the box art. We have the shots in 1600x1200 and 1024x768 resolutions.
