9.1
Overall I believe that any fan of the series will love this game. For those of you who may have shied away because of the cloak-and-dagger feel, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there is plenty of shooting to be found here.

Critic reviews
- 9.0Sod frantic shooters, the subtle craftiness of Chaos Theory has reignited our passion for the precise, methodical approach, something that's been frustratingly absent from a title since, well, Pandora Tomorrow. Awesomely exciting and heart-stoppingly tense in turn, Fisher and co prove the law of diminishing returns completely wrong, and deliver the most complete and cool stealth 'em up we've ever seen. You're never too old for hide and seek when it's as good as this.
- 8.6Splinter Cell Chaos Theory fulfills a lot of the previously untapped potential of its predecessors' single-player portions, while successfully extending the impressive multiplayer offerings of Pandora Tomorrow. It's got to be the most fully featured stealth action game to date, so if you like the idea of high-tech espionage, it's certainly going to have plenty to offer you.
- 9.6Not surprisingly, the visuals in Chaos Theory have improved even further from Pandora Tomorrow. Creeping around in the dark has never looked as good as it does in this game. There are flickering candles, creeping shadows, and environmental effects that add to the atmosphere. When combined with the excellent animations, the game feels incredibly cinematic, and on a high-end graphics card the game is stunning.
- 8.0As such, the bottom line for us is that it has morphed into a dumbed-down experience that is no longer anywhere near as gripping and compelling as it once was, and while the multiplayer does bail out the overall value of the package to a large extent, it can't mask the decline elsewhere. We reckon we could probably see the point of what Ubisoft was trying to achieve with Chaos Theory, but we'd need night vision goggles for that.
- Splinter Cell Chaos Theory dans son mode solo nous parvient avec une foule de nouveautés qui se greffent sur ce qui pré-existait. Certes, il en est qui s'avèrent finalement moins révolutionnaires qu'on pouvait le croire de prime abord (l'alternance poing/couteau par exemple) mais toutes concourent à fortifier une expérience de jeu toujours aussi prenante et à forger une immersion dont on se délecte à chaque instant.
