Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

UbiSoft is going to be hard pressed to beat it.

Three brilliant games rolled into one that could all easily be sold separately. The single player is incredibly satisfying, co-op is one of a kind and adds a fresh and very compelling face to the underused online co-op genre and the adversarial mode is simply brilliant once again; an online experience no person with high speed internet should miss.

Visually stunning, audibly amazing and captivating in solo and multiplayer, Chaos Theory is the crowning achievement of the Splinter Cell series which just gets better and better with every new game.

The only real gripe against the game is that the control isn't as intuitive as it can be. There are many options in a given situation, and the game still relies on the same context-sensitive menu system, which is a bit cumbersome.

In single-player mode Chaos Theory isn't a big step in the evolution of the Splinter Cell franchise, and may seem a repetitive adventure so soon after "Pandora Tomorrow," but this doesn't stop it from being an excellent and visually stunning piece of work.

The game feels real enough that you might want to sneak up on a cop on a late Saturday night after playing for a few hours.

I'll reserve a four-star rating for the next time this series takes big leaps. In this latest edition, there's nothing so new that you'll stop and say, "Whoa." But Chaos Theory is true to the things that make Splinter Cell games so good.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - The Apex of Stealth Gaming Excellence. Released in 2005, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory stands as the magnum opus of the Splinter Cell series, setting an unparalleled standard for stealth gaming that remains unchallenged to this day. Ubisoft's third installment not only refined the genre but also pushed the boundaries of what was possible in terms of narrative, gameplay, and technological achievement, cementing its place as one of the greatest games ever created.

It's not often that a third entry in any video games is the greatest in the series, but in my opinion, Chaos Theory was peak Splinter Cell. Everything that was great about the 2 first is just overall better. Soundtrack is probably my favorite OST of all time. 10/10.

Great game, I would give it a 9. But there are too many issues. The main problem is the unfair behavior of the NPCs. They have eyes on their backs and instantly turn 180 degrees and shoot without any logic. There are also tanks in the game that will spot you and kill you without you having a chance to get past. And at least the Bathhouse is just pain. Really bad game design. The first missions are great. But it becomes worser later. It seems as if the developers slopped along at the end. Quick save and load is important. But there are also differences between the versions on the other platforms. Some are better than others. Some versions may have glitches. I really like the game, but I can't give higher rating due to these problems and weird decisions. Especially the NPCs behavior and placement on the map. The game is great until late mission Seoul and Bathhouse. These missions ruined the game. Ok, it's an old game. Maybe a remake would be better. Or a new Splinter Cell with focus on stealth.

I think the game would impress back in the day. By today standards it is an okay game. There is no something that would influence you today. The game is on the good level, but comparisons with MGS series are laughable.
