  1. PSM Magazine

    New tactics, a well-delivered story, and, not to be overlooked, even better online co-op and competitive play not only make this the most intriguing game yet in the series, but easily one of the best games of its kind, period. [Holiday 2006, p.72]
  2. Although you might expect the next gen version to shine the brightest, the current gen consoles actually turn in the brightest performance overall in my opinion, with the Xbox first, PS2 second.
  3. Play UK

    It really aims to offer a little something for everyone. [Issue#146, p.88]
  4. Completely different from Double Agent for the Xbox 360, this version features its own exciting stealth-action campaign, plus a solid new multiplayer mode and some great cooperative missions.
  5. A fine addition to the series, and the Trust Meter addition means that, for the first time, this'll be one spy game you'll go back to even after you've finished it. Sam going bad is good news for Splinter Cell fans.
  6. 80
    It's one of the best multiplayer experiences on the platform, and the single-player is nothing to sneeze at. However, if given a choice, I'd recommend the Xbox version for technological reasons, or just suggest you go all-out next-gen with Double Agent on 360.
  7. The lack of multiplayer and online co-op, as well as less-than-average visuals makes this game only worth a rental, with almost no redeeming replay value.

    The story is kind of boring it also seems like a sad state seeing how good the other spliter game i played, ( splinter cell: Pandora The story is kind of boring it also seems like a sad state seeing how good the other spliter game i played, ( splinter cell: Pandora tomorrow) but I have to give it this it is much better then number one. I have not played splinter cell chaos Theory but I hope it is not as bad as this one. and If it is like number one then I would cry because the one before it ( Splinter cell Pandora tomorrow was so great. just don't get this game unless it is like a buy one get one free deal. then maybe if there is no better games and you already have Pandora Tomorrow and Metal gear sold 3 or 2 then get it for free.
