User Rating: 8.7 | Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory PC
Tom Clancy has always been one of my favorite writters. His games also my favorites. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is hard not to be a favorite for the fans of slow, making you think, stealth games. This game however is one of the greatest games I have ever played. With a character like Sam Fisher, a respected Splinter Cell agent with a reputation as the best. You play as Sam and listen to him joke around with his "boss" while you sneak up behind an unsuspecting soldier that's grumbling about how boring his shift is. A fun thing about this game is that you don't only get to use a knife to sneak up on guards. You are equip with an Asault Rifle, silenced postol, some grenades, ammo (including video cameras you can shoot threw your rifle and stick to a wall, this camera also can release gas to knock out someone aproaching you or someone you just need to take out before they pull the alarm) and a pair of goggles that have many vision modes; night vision, EMP vision, heat vision, ect.

Another fun thing about this game is the kill style, you can take people out with the silenced pistol or tear 'em up with the assault rifle. Although I prefer to sneak up from behind and grab them holding them so they can't move or do anything untill they tell you what you want to know, or you're done having fun with them. The interigation is also funny some quotes include:

"Pick a number between one and ten" and others of the sort, messing with the enemy phycologicly. Once the man you're holding has told you what you want to know you get the choice to either kill him or just knock him out. To kill him you either break his neck or kick him in the back breaking his spine, brutal yes. Or you can just block the blood going to his brain and knock him out for about an hour.

The enemy in this game is not the kind you can run past shooting and they don't see you. The enemy is VERY smart in this game, noticing an intruder by either seeing a body (which you get the choice to drag and hide) or even just a door you left open that they closed. I often hear "who left this door open?!" in this game and then the enemy is on the alert so I have to lean in the shadows against the wall untill they know there's no one in the room. Heh.

I highly recomend this game, it's addicting, fairly difficult so you don't beat it too fast, and has many missions. Also the gameplay and style is revolutionary. By now it's probobly at a decent price being the game came out years ago. Obviously this game was ahead of it's time.
