Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

"I have a theory about all this chaos."

Once again, the Splinter Cell series steps in the right direction. From the new format of single player missions, to the inspired vs. and co-op modes, this one is a winner.

Graphics:WOW/10

I don't even know how to score the graphics on this game. They are so realistic and pay attention to detail so much that it just blows you away. There are all new weather effects such as rain that get Sam wet then dry off with time. There are awesome ragdoll physics that make you question whether you're looking at reality or a videogame. All the way down to the characters faces, the graphics in this game are mind-blowing.

Story: 8/10

Once again, the story isn't really anything special. It has the normal missions where you're out to interrogate someone on the location of someone else and stuff like that. However, this category gets a huge boost from the cutscenes and the way the story is presented.

Gameplay: 10/10

If you thought the other Splinter Cell's had good gameplay, take a look at this puppy. The way you can play this game has been completely revamped. You can choose whether you want to do certain secondary objectives, you can choose whether you want to go "rambo" and kill everything in your path, there are also some awesome new moves Sam can pull of, such as throwing guards off high buildings and hanging down and choking a guard, awesome stuff.

Another huge and crucial part of the gameplay is multiplayer. Back from Pandora Tomorrow, this mode is loads of fun. You get to play as a spy or a mercenary. The spy's job: complete certain objectives. The merc's job: kill the spies. There is also a brand new co-op mode full of fun times. In this you play as two other spies who tie into Sam's story, making this mode all the better.

Bottomline:

Positives:

+Amazing, realistic graphics

+Multiple ways to play

+Multiplayer mode

Negatives:

-Story could be better

Rent or buy: BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

OVERALL: A perfect 10/10
