Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is a stealth game that was also released on the Nintendo DS in 2005.
+ Contains ten sizeable missions with intricate layouts, and the gameplay has a great mix of pure stealth and weapons-based scenarios.+ Scouring the environments for paths to avoid detection is captivating and there's typically multiple ways to tackle situations.
+ Each area feels like a mini-puzzle and there's many awesome gadgets to assist, such as the Optic Cable that lets you peak under doors.
+ Dramatic music evokes a tense atmosphere, and your need to remain in the shadows makes light an unrelenting source of fear.
+ Load times are super impressive and the game has many checkpoints to alleviate any frustration from failed mission attempts.
- Frame-rate isn't the best, which creates the knock-on effect of a jittery reticle when trying to precisely line up a shot.
- Complex controls take a while to adjust to, and the dreadful microphone hunt in the Hokkaido mission is busywork at its worst.
