Sam Fisher is back. And this time, he isn't playing around. In the third installment, you are once again Sam Fisher. An operative who's mission is to, once again, stop terrorists from bringing down America, by any means possible. Sam Fisher is a Splinter Cell.
As with all the Splinter Cell installments so far, you'll be given new moves, gadgets, gear, and much more. Only this time, you don't have as many limits as you had in the last games. In the previous Splinter Cells, if you rose the 3rd alarm, it'd be mission failed. In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, if you raise an alarm, you'll have a harder time sneaking around enemies, killing them, getting around them for each alarm. There are four stages for alarms. The first one is like a warning, the second one will make them harder to kill, and the third one will make head shots more difficult. If you hit a fourth alarm, the entire level will be alerted to your presence. Which makes it very difficult to get around everyone. It beats having to restart, right?
What's great about this version is, if you'd much rather prefer killing everything and going rambo, the game supports it, you can go ahead and do that, but if you do this it gets harder and harder. IF you choose to find ways to around them, you'll be allowed to take your time for strategies, because sneaking is always the better way.
Pandora Tomorrow gave us the Versus Mode, where spies and mercenaries fight in a game of "Hide and Seek" as I like to call it. This, at the time, was revolutionary. The spies would be more like Sam Fisher in a way and hide from the enemy,and complete his objective. When you're a mercenary, you'll have an FPS-style view where you seek out the spies, and eliminate them for good. Chaos Theory gives us this and more, with new moves, gadgets and more maps. They even have some of the PT classics like Warehouse, and Deftech Belew!!
IF that isn't enough, Chaos Theory has introduced us to yet another revolution. Co-Op mode, where you and a friend go through 5 missions and complete objectives TOGETHER. Complete with cool Co-Op moves, and also, the freedom to do whatever you please. It's always fun to have a partner with you to play with, and kill things together, of course!
Overall, this is the game Stealth/Action fans have been waiting for. Single-Player, Co-Op, and even Versus all put into one package. It is really worth the money, and chances are you'll be playing it all night with your friends, staying up all night, playing, loving.
