I had already played this game through countless times on my playstation 2 and bought it for my xbox 360 so I could play the onine co-op with my cousin. The graphics are amazing even compared to the new next-gen titles and the game play will make you never want to put your controller down. Definetly a must play for any gamer who likes action and stealth based games, and the online co-op is the best in the series.

Best Splinter Cell game I've played!

This is the best Splinter Cell game in my opinion, I still haven't played Double Agent, will be in a couple of days. But I loved this one, the graphics are the best I've seen and gameplay is crazy. Tons of way of completing each level. It was a must buy at its original cost and it really is at this price.

1 of the best games for original xbox

This game is glorious. I'd place it right under Halo, Halo2, Half-Life2 and right above Doom3 in the top 5 best xbox games of all time. There are a few hooks that simply make this game fun.

- Graphics are beautiful. Really gorgeous.
- Soundtrack/score is top notch (Amon Tobin). Listen to the track during the boat mission in which you toss people overboard. It's more beautiful than most Hollywood scores. There is some additional music from fake rock bands scattered throughout the game on radios for a nice touch. Even the added touch of foreign computers having their own particular cultural sounds when you turn them on/off. When a game designer goes to these lengths, you really have something worth while.
- Cool new moves. Ability to knock people over and pull them down from ledges is cool. Grab them through Japanese paper doors. Knock them out from behind doors. All a lot of fun. Game also reminds you how to do them while loading. Good touch.
- Items/gadgets still cool, hacking is especially cool
- They lightened up on the alarms concept
- As with other Splinter Cell games, the scope is global and these spy agencies are real. I like the multi-cultural immersion.
- Co-op with modified levels
- Long game
- Glitch free. No consulting the internet to figure out what went wrong.
- The story doesn't blame everything on Arabs or Islamic fundamentalism. The bad guys are a combo of home grown and global. At one point, you are technically "at war".
- Solid upgrade overall over other splinter cell games.

No complaints here folks.

Way cool!

I picked up Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow the other day and I have to tell you that I am impressed to say the least! The graphics are amazing and soooo detailed. The water even glistens on Sam Fisher's clothing and gear! How cool is that?! What's really neat is that the first level is the lighthouse level they show on tv. That was awesome to rip that dude off the top of the lighthouse! From an adult's point of view, if you enjoy stealth games with amazing graphics and enjoy a level a day after a long day at work, then by all means pick this one up as well as Pandora tomorrow. Granted you will more than likely be repeating levels more than once since you will get your tail handed back to you sometimes. =) I used to have the original Splinter Cell on the Xbox but that game is nowhere even near the quality of Pandora Tomorrow and esp Chaos Theory. I thought the graphics from The Chronicles of Riddick were amazing, but Chaos Theory wins hands-down in that category. Pick this one up. Happy gaming! =)

GREAT GAME!

SCCT is a great game, with some of the best graphics on the xbox. i'll get right into what this game is:

This is a 'stealth' game. You dont go in guns blazing, because
1) You dont have nearly enough ammo
2) Alarms are sounded

For those of you unfamiliar to the games, you must shootout light objects, for the enemy to not be able to see you.
Then, you have 3 vision modes: Nightvision, Thermal Vision, and a vision that helps you see electronics (the only ones that really help are the first two).

SO, when the enemy gets close, you can
1) Grab and interrogate him
2) Slit his throat w/ your combat knife
3) Shoot Him

The first one is the most helpful in beating levels, for the guy you grab can hold valuable information.
The knife is also helpful, for it is a quick kill (but then you must hide the body, or others will find it, alarms will sound, making it a lot harder for you)

The gun works in critical places, but since you only get 100 rounds for the entire level, and it mostly consists of shooting lights out, conserve your ammo.

My next topic is weapons:

1)Combat Knife:
A double-sided, razor sharp blade that can be used to slit throats, stab enemies, and use to make them afraid so that you can get information out of them.

2) Pistol
This is a silenced pistol, with a 20-round clip, and you hold 40 rounds for it in the beginning of each level.

3) SC-20K Launcher
This is Fishers 'main weapon'. It fires 30 bullets a clip (and fisher can hold 60 bullets for it). It is equipped with 3 modes:

Normal Mode
Shotgun Mode
Sniper Mode

All help to suit each situation. It can be fired in single shot and in fully automatic modes as well.

In addition to firing rounds, it also has gadgets it fires.
1) Sticky Shocker- a round that electrifies an enemy, incapacitating him.
2) Airfoil Round- a ringed round that incapacitates an enemy
3) Sticky Camera- pretty self explaining
4) Diversion Camera- same as above, only makes noise to attract the enemy, then releases gas to incapacitate them.
5) Smoke Grenade- again, pretty self explaining.

Those were the main weapons, but i assume that there will be more in this game.

Meet the team:

Sam Fisher: Spy in the field
Irving Lambert: Leader of group- (think Jon Voight from M:I)
Anna Grimmsdottir: Computer Expert
William Redding: Gives all gadgets and weapons

Fisher is voiced by Michael Ironside, who has been in movies such as 'Starship Troopers'.

In addition to a wonderful single-player mode, this also includes many great multiplayer options-

Co-op: You and a friend (split screen, or from Xbox Live) can go through other missions that you didnt play in the single mode.

Versus: You play against others (Spies vs. Mercenaries) to get objectives. Spies have many gadgets, and can do sick moves. Mercenaries have HUGE machineguns to beat the crap out of the spies. I dont have Live, so i cant give much more on the Versus mode.

This game has amazing graphics, ai, and cool tricks (like hanging from pipes and snapping peoples necks). It truly pushes the xbox for graphics.

This game came from the creative mind of Tom Clancy, so you know it will be good.

I dont have much more to say. Thanks for your time!

So awsome!!!! Must have

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.

Beautifully Chaotic

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 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.
