The year is 2008. Information Warfare has evolved into the most dangerous threat to global stability. You are Sam Fisher, Third Echelon's most skilled Splinter Cell operative. You are assigned to execute a hazardous series of operations to investigate and eliminate a new source of information attacks, originating in North Korea. To succeed, you will employ a host of unconventional counterintelligence activities to gather intel, disrupt enemy operations and neutralize adversary targets. As Information Warfare evolves, so must the Splinter Cell. You must penetrate deeper into hostile territory and operate undetected, closer to the enemy than ever before. At your disposal is a lethal array of tactics ranging from Combat Knife techniques, experimental prototype weapons skills, and more radical hand-to-hand techniques such as the Inverted Chokehold. Experience the thrill of acting as a lone operative fighting tomorrow's threats in the field, and of cooperating online with a partner to accomplish crucial missions. Die in action, and the free world dies with you. [Ubisoft] With Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, the Gameloft development studio continues to push the interactive and technological possibilities of mobile gaming, adding full-3D to interactive features and multiplayer options via Bluetooth wireless technology and the N-Gage Arena.

Gaming Target
Granted, it’s a lot more linear than the console versions, but it’s still not for “rush gamers” that want to speed through levels in run-n’-gun fashion. It’s everything you’d expect and ask for from a Splinter Cell title on N-Gage.

Easily the best game on N-Gage.

Too good to be true. It makes the 2D version, which was acceptable at the time, seem like a total waste in comparison.

Missions are long and satisfying, and continually change to keep you on your toes. The plot is well written and increases your interest... Graphically, this is a stunning N-Gage game.

To date, Chaos Theory N-Gage is the finest display of the handheld's overall gaming abilities, yet there are a few areas of inconsistency that, on top of the challenging gameplay, make the game a bit more frustrating than it needs to be.

Gameloft pulls one out of their hats for the N-Gage that successfully ports the console version to the N-Gage.

With amazing and atmospheric graphics and sound, full 3D action, tense gameplay and a host of weapons and gadgets to help you complete a range of missions, this is certainly another must own for the N-Gage.

The single player story is as impressive as it gets on the N-Gage, missions are long and satisfying and you really do get plenty of opportunity to use the gadgets and weapons at Sam’s disposal.

Easily one of the top three games for the N-Gage -- and it's probably the best of those three. Gameloft's attention to details specific to the platform pays off in spades -- games built from the ground up for a specific system just feel better. Better control, better level design, better graphics.

Probably the best game made thus far for the N-Gage.

With Sam’s inventory of moves accounted for, the gameplay is very similar to the other versions of Chaos Theory.

Good but not overly spectacular. There's nothing about it that necessarily makes me go "Wow" other than the thirty seconds it took to get over the fact that a game like this is running on N-Gage hardware.

Pelaaja (Finland)
Does the unthinkable: it offers the same game play as the bigger console versions and in full 3D. But as so often happens on the N-Gage, the faults of the gaming deck itself, narrow screen and clunky controls, hurt the quality of the game. [May 2005, p 92]

Impressive 3D graphics, fun stealth gameplay, and impressive multiplayer options all add up to a game that manages to thumb its nose at the N-Gage’s main competitor, the GBA.
