Do *NOT* buy this version of the game, July 8, 2007
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game)
The Windows version of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is infected with Starforce, which besides potentially wrecking your Windows installation, can also physically destroy optical drives (and also may not work with newer hardware or operating systems).
Because of the infection, pick up one of the console versions of the game if you're interested. Obviously the graphics won't be as good, but they're still fine. Another alternative will be to play it through Gametap's rental service, when it shows up on there.
The game itself is a solid entry in the stealth action genre. Worth playing if you're a fan of the genre.
Note that as of today, this is the ONLY version infected with Starforce. Earlier and later entires in the series do NOT have Starforce, just this one.

Nice Game, February 5, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game)
This game has more stealth actions than Metal Gear. This is the first time I play Splinter Cell. It doesn't require much of cpu and gpu resources since it was made in 2005. There's no lag in my system at all. This is a third person game. I personally can't play first person shooter. I get dizzy usually after 10 minutes of fps. This game is the best for me and anyone who has the same problem as I do.

Good game, March 29, 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Video Game)
I loved this game. Played it twice on two different difficulty settings and tried to challenge myself to get through it without being seen. It takes patience but then when it is done you get this cool sense of accomplishment.
