    By far the best game that the series has produced.

    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.

    Ultimately, Chaos Theory leaves the player stunned, excited and thoroughly satisfied. A landmark achievement in stealth gaming. [Xbox World]

    Chaos Theory sometimes has a designed-by-committee feel due to its many disparate parts, and despite the game's grittier new theme and its new "Mature" rating, it's going to offer a familiar experience to Splinter Cell veterans. But even if some of the changes are marginal, this is still the most entertaining, most well-rounded game in the series yet.

    This game was the best out of all three! I bought it about a month ago and I loved it! But I am still wondering why it is M because I don9;t see anything too violent! I just can't wait for the 4th Splinter Cell game comes out. I also just can't wait until the movie Splinter Cell comes out! Which comes out next year in 2006! I like this game, but I am not in love with this one.… Expand

    I have to agree with EFE B, this is a great game but it can get boring, the no blood thing is terrible for a game like this. This is an Adult game so why no blood? The predetermined bad guys, is a bad deal, kind of like the first Super Mario Bros. in a since, you know exactly when and where to move the second time around ( either dying and spawning over or just playing the game a second time all together ) I'm bored with the Splinter Cell series because it's all the same thing, don't get me wrong if this was my first time playing this game I probably would love it. But you would think the third time would be a charm, it wasn't nothing really new. It just felt like a extra levels were added to the first Splinter Cell. We need to judge the game for what it is not all the hype, it's a good game but not the greatest needs more work more excitement.… Expand

    Graphics are nice but I have given this game a week and still cant get used to the controls or sneaking around like a wuss. Call me a FPS fan but I will be trading this one in. Not very fun.… Expand
