Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the peak of the Splinter Cell series. Not only that, it's arguably the peak of 3rd person stealth, of stealth games in general, and one of the best games ever made, coming out in a timeframe in which the industry was arguably at its peak, and ubisoft was putting out some incredible games.

This was a time before Splinter Cell started to stray off from its roots and go action and setpiece heavy, and lose some of the trademark humor. A time before all Ubisoft games turned into checklist and tower climbing simulators.

A time before open-world games added half-baked stealth elements, where stealth turned into using detective vision to see through walls, marking enemies, or staring at minimaps to see where enemies were looking.

The third title in the series, Chaos Theory learned from the mistakes of the previous two titles and put together a game with some of the best level design I've come across that are always fun to revisit time and time again, a wide array of abilities at your disposal while controlling one of the more enduring main characters around, and one of the best soundtracks ever composed for a game.

This Chaos Theory review/analysis/critique/retrospective looks at the mechanics, the narrative, the humor of Splinter Cell, enemy behavior, the missions (along with rankings), the soundtrack of Chaos Theory, Co-op mode & Spies vs. Mercs, the future of the Splinter Cell series, and more.
