Great Graphics, a Few Twists and more Toys make another pretty enjoyable ride. SOLO MODE ONLY REVIEW.
User Rating: 7.9 | Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory XBOX
Note: All my reviews come from the SOLO PLAYER standpoint, as I very seldom take on "real people" on XBOX LIVE. SCCT is more of the same, only upgraded. Graphics have improved tremendously, and the new moves makes Throwing people off of buildings or snapping their neck from above very enjoyable. I'm a huge proponent of STORY LINES in games that are exciting, funny or shocking, and unfortunately as good a game as SCCT is, the story never really sucks you into it. You're just traveling through one "beautiful" level to another, sneaking around and knocking off the bad guys. The lighting, shadows, fires and explosions make SCCT one of the best looking games to date, though every single Bad Guy and Civilian that you sneak up behind and Grab, has exactly the same look. The Sound Effects and Voice Acting are all top notch, though again, The Bad Guys and the Civilians all had the same voice, it seemed. That main thing that I love about the SC series, is the thinking behind each level. There are so many different ways to progress through the game. SNEAK, SHOOT, FIND ANOTHER PATH....that you'll spend a lot of time just "timing enemy movements" in hopes of figuring out an alternate route. I rented this game, and in so doing it was one of the (Best Value to Overall Enjoyment) games for me. It wouldn't be something that I personally would purchase, or play again on a more difficult setting, because the overall STORY was not that great, and I have no desire to play against "You really good XBOX LIVE" players, who would just humiliate me.
