Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the latest sequel in the Splinter Cell franchise and in my opinion, the best of the three. While the basic premise of the game remains the same the developers have made definite improvements in the overall gameplay. Controls are tighter, better moves, better weapons and you can save WHENEVER you want. That fact alone makes a huge difference, especially if you've ever had to replay the same part over and over. If you liked the others, Chaos Theory is a must have. Can't wait until the fourth one comes out.

New moves, amazing graphics, and virtually limitless enviornment interaction within the game make Splinter Cell Chaos Theory one of the best games on the market. Not only does this proceed the first two games of the series but there are also online and co-op capabilities to the game as well, making it far superior to any other game on the market, save Halo 1 and 2.

Chaos Theory ROCKS

This game is really amazing, words cannot discribe. I payed $50 dollers for this game but I feel it should have been priced at $100. After my dog chewed up my first game I had to go back to the store and I saw it was only $20. I felt like running out of the store because I felt like I was stealing money from them. This game is amazing and the co op is spectacular, I will guarntee you will like this game! Please give it a try.

I've never played any of the Splinter Cell series, but as I await for the release of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, I wanted to prep myself for it. Fortunately, with Xbox 360 backward compatibility, I bought Chaos Theory. This is, by far, one of the most mind-blowing and suspenseful game I've ever played! It delivers in intensity, immersive, and innovative levels. Since I'm familiar with the Hitman franchise, I thought I could get into another stealth-driven game where skills and patience are highly required.

If you want to go through this game in complete stealth mode, the experience is truly compelling and satisfying. Gameplay and environment is completely open-ended, leaving you to go about your objectives any way your heart desires. Be sure to put your night vision to good use because you'll most likely miss a useful crawling space as a shortcut from point A to point B. And shadows will be your best friend throughout the game. The slightest noise of your footsteps or movements exposed to an inch of light will make the AI's very suspicious. They are that advance.

The environment is unreal! Each area and rooms are all unique and non-repetive. The levels are very complex and realistic, and makes you feel like you're actually in the game. Sound effects are just as awesome. You can hear AI's conversing with each other, electricals going haywire, birds chirping, water dripping... Made me wish I had a 5.1 stereo surround sound hooked up.

The only thing that kept the fun factor from getting full 5 stars is that I often got lost. Although the map is helpful and well designed, at times I find it hard to see exactly where I was and not knowing how to get to the next objective. And one false move (getting caught, accidently bashing a door open, etc.) had me reloading the game countless times. This game is very challenging if you want to keep yourself undetected.

If you appreciate games that encourage stealth, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is an amazing title to add to your library. I didn't care much for the multiplayer or co-op modes, but I'm sure is just as exciting.

"Chaos Theory" is one of the funnest games I played.

Both creepy and intriguing, Chaos Theory brings back excitement into console gaming. I've still got a ways to go in the game, but 'boring' is not a word I would use in describing Chaos Theory. Plus, even in 'easy' mode the game is tough from the beginning. So hold on tight, you're in for an excellent ride.

The latest Splinter Cell game to come out and of course the best one. The game was kind of short, just like all the others, but good action and fun missions throughout the whole thing. This game has amazing graphics! I played in on my Xbox 360. But its a really fun game. A plus is that you can use a knife to take out enemies now instead of your pistol etc. Good game. Some missions get quite tough and you have to think of a strategy to get passed what needs to be done. But after sitting and playing you will eventually figure it out. I definately recommend this to any gamer that wants a good game for a really cheap price. This game will keep you entertained.

Stay in the dark.

powerfully addicting

This was my first Splinter Cell game and I must say, I am very impressed with everything about it. A friend recommended it to me and I decided to give it a try because it was a stealth game rather than a more rambo like one and now I find it rather hard to turn off. This game requires the player to have much patience because there are many parts where you simply must wait, either for a person to leave/enter a room or for a conversation to end. The player should also be able to think on their feet and find different ways to get information (such as interrogating different people) while completing their primary, secondary and possibly bonus objectives. The game is challenging but each level is possible to beat no matter what level of gamer you are (trust me, I'm a green myself), some just take longer than others. If you really get stuck somewhere you may want to refer to a walkthrough to help you out but the best part of the game is not only figuring out all that needs to be done, but executing it as well.

(...) its a MUST BUY

Now I have not played the single player much but it has NICE graphics. The game requires you to be smart and think quick.Remembers: Gadgets are a spys best friend.Anyways...I spent most of my time playing Xbox LIVE and playing versus. Now what I like about the game is that there aren't a lot of little kids playing this (because this game takes ALOT of skill online). Unlike Halo 2 which has more kids playing the Micheal Jackson does. There people (most of them) are really cool. You don't get much screamers/noobs/cheaters as you do in Halo 2. This is the first game that has a SAM type multiplayer (Stealth Action Multiplayer). You hide in shadows clinb poles waiting for the merc to come. Since this is srealth, I think Halo 2 addicts will do very poorly at the game since they will most likly go for a aggresive type aproach. Now as the merc you have 3 choices of guns. You have Assualt Rifle(also a sniper), Sub Machine Gun, and the Shotgun(also known as the Noob Toob, and Noob Cannon.) On different maps will be good for different guns.
Example. A map that has some good open spaces will be good for the sniper. A map with small, not so open rooms will be good for SMG or Shotgun.

DEATHMATCH: One type of the multiplayer. The host (person who created the game) gives the spys a certain amount of lives and the mercs a certain amount of lives. The most is 10. So the object of the game is to make the other run out of lives. Or the host can put infanite lives but then must put a time limit then the team with the most kills at the end wins.

STORY: Now this is ALOT more challenging. The spies have a certain amount of objectives and have to complete 2 or 3 or 4 of the objectives (depends which map). The mercs objectives in track down and terminate the spies before they can complete their objectives. There are 3 types of objectives for the spy. One is where you must steal a disk and then drop it off at a suitcase. If you die it will be dropped. If the merc is stupid enough he will not return it (return it by touching it when you die) then you can pick it where you died. The next obj. is where you set a bomb and have to wait about 30 sec for it blow and that gives the merc alot of time to defuse the bomb so guard to well. The last obj. is simiar to the one in PT. You must hack a computer within like 15 seconds.Oh and almost forgot. Story mode can be ranked or unranked. Deathmatch can not be ranked. And the default lives are SPY:4 Merc:3.

DISK HUNT:
The last game type is the very least popular (VERY, VERY, few people play it) so I do not what to explain it.

GADGETS/WEAPONS: These (in the right hands) can be very deadly.

SPY: Sticky Cam, Heart Beat (my fav), Spy Bullet, Alarm Snare, Camo. Suit(people with 360's see a green outline so its useless), Chaff Gernades(VERY useful on Story Mode),Smoke Gernades (good for close combat), and Flashbangs (good for get-aways).

MERC: Frag Gernades, Flares, Spy Trackers, Backpack, Tazer, Cam. Net, Mines, and Gas Masks (Smoke Gernades slow down the merc and make the merc fall alseep if he stays in the smoke to long. The Gas Mask prevents this)

Well thats all I can type for now. Now if you excuse me and got some mercs to jump on and necks to break.

The multiplayer is CRAZY good!

The multiplayer portion of this game is so good it'll have you playing for hours on end. The fact that there are 11 new multiplayer maps is enough for you to go out and buy this game, that is if you are Xbox Live enabled. All of these maps are very "hands on" when it comes to gameplay. You will find plenty of hiding spots, crawl spaces, ventilation shafts, switches, and buttons that will make each game new and exciting. These maps are much more detailed than anything you've seen in past games and with so many ways to complete the task at hand, each time you play it will seem very new.

There are 3 different gametypes that you can choose from when setting up a game online. They are story mode, disk hunt, and last but not least a deathmatch mode. In the story mode, the spies try to comlete a task while the mercs try to stop them. When you complete a certain part, another area usually becomes accessable where another task needs to be completed. In the disk hunt mode, the spies much search for and collect disks scattered across the map. This is a pretty easy gametype to play as it requires less skill than the previous story mode. The last type is pretty self explanitory where each team tries to kill the other.

While the graphics and visuals in multiplayer aren't as top-notch compared to the single player campaign, they are in no way less superior. The graphics are great and keep the multiplayer fresh and new. I don't think anyone can gripe about the graphics in the multiplayer portion of the game. All the levels are very detailed with smooth, crisp textures and lots of different environments.

With all the different maps and gametypes available, this game has definite replay value and will keep gamers playing for a long time to come.

I never thought knifing someone in the back could be so fun!

Just like what the title said, it is fun to assassinate with the great arsenal of weapons Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory stunningly brings. The enviroments, enemy's, weapons, are amazing. Some of my favorite elements are that your enemy's talk to eachother casualy. Like in Hokkaido, Japan, two enemy's are talking about ninjas raiding a oil rig. This is a definite refrence to Splinter Cell 1. While I have yet to play versus mode, coop is great. I like the dependancy on the teamate to: Human Ladder, Tomoe Nage, Jamming Electronics to silently infiltrate, etc. THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME....BUY IT!
