Bello lo scontro con Shetland.
Devo ter rejogado a missão do banco umas 15 vezes porque meu eu adolescente achava que era uma missão de roubo.
sweet jesus fisher, what did you do?
Played on Xbox Series X
First time ever playing this and unfortunately it didn't click with me, sorry 🫤.
Michael Ironside absolutely slaps as Sam Fisher though.

flawless stealth game. the controls are a bit arcane but they were ahead of their time
The most challenging and yet rewarding splinter cell. I still think the ai is some of the smartest out there. The only thing holding this game back is how bad the graphics have aged and some mechanics are not possible to do with modern controllers instead of original Xbox controllers

Many people say that this is one of the best stealth games of all time, and I have to say, it's pretty damn good.
For an old game from 2005, the gameplay is really solid. It took a while for me to learn the controls and mechanics, but once I got the hang of it, the gameplay goes by smoothly. I took the stealth approach to play the game, and I appreciate that it gives you these tools and opportunities to do just that.
The combat is good, and the takedowns are satisfying to pull off. The AI is pretty decent but inconsistent. There were times when the enemies were surprisingly smart, and also times when they became too trigger-happy and just unloads their entire mag on you, which can made it frustrating at times.
Most of the levels are great, in that they were designed so that you can approach it in different angles, which keeps it interesting. I will say that my favorite level was either Bank or Seoul, and my least favorite level was Bathhouse.
The story is alright, I guess. It's not that mind blowing and sometimes can be a bit goofy, but it gets the job done. I will say that the ending is so underwhelming and I wish there was a more satisfying end to the story. The soundtrack is a banger though.
Although I don't think Chaos Theory is greatest stealth game ever, I still had a great experience playing this game for the first time and I cannot recommend it enough to the fans of this genre. This is my first Splinter Cell game and it certainly won't be the last.

FINALLY VERSATILITY!
The strongest point of the third title in this incredible series is the number of ways you can finish each level. Although I found the story not as good as the second game, it is very fun and keeps you entertained for a long time.

The coziest game in the coziest series about breaking necks.
Mechanically speaking, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is the best and most sophisticated stealth game I have played in my life. The game gives you a ton of tools to complete any given objective, and the combination of both light and line of sight make this a game where you have a ton of options. It also has extremely strong level design, levels are much more open-ended than in OG Splinter Cell. It almost reminds me of an immersive sim at times with the amount of options, tools, and paths to completing a level. This is not even to mention the objectives that can be based on your choices in previous missions. The story, writing, and characters are all rather simple and passable outside of Sam Fisher himself who is an extraordinary badass as per usual. The story exists to serve the gameplay, and it’s good enough to not get in the way of the best stealth experience in my life.
Fun linear stealth game. Doing everything undetected is satisfying and the AI is surprisingly good. Best Splinter Cell game.
The best one of the original trilogy. The added mechanics are fun and the levels are awesomely designed.
Fun game. Even if I didn't 100% feel for it I still had a lot of fun with this and it's definitely made me more interested in looking at the rest of the series. It deserves its spot as a top-tier stealth game.
My biggest issue if anything is that the game doesn't exactly teach you the ropes the best way. It really expects you to have played the previous games already, and if you haven't all you have in its place are these overly long "how to play" videos that overload you with information and just leave you more confused. In turn the first few missions, while I WAS able to pass fine, I didn't do as well in mission percentages as I probably could've had I understood how to play sooner. If you do wanna start here, fine, but I would recommend at least trying whatever the first game's tutorial is first.
Only other issue I'd say is that I kinda didn't feel super engaged in the plot? Not that it was bad, it was serviceable, but the overall plot kinda didn't make me feel anything. Again, makes me wish I played the other games prior so I would feel more engaged. I do love the characters, though. Fisher has this old-man vibe yet is still able to crack a few jokes during a tight situation or when interrogating a suspect which made me laugh a few times. The whole crew has this feel of lifetime friends which I love.
In general this game feels like such a giant time-capsule of the mid 2000's with it's product placement and random namedropping of other then-modern things which I can't help but love. It's corny but in a great way. Definite recommend if you haven't played it already and like stealth games.

Peak stealth gameplay. Maybe the best all-time espionage video game. It feels great to slink about in the shadows trying your best to be a ghost and Michael Ironside is effortlessly entertaining as Sam Fisher.
Ubisoft don't make 'em like this anymore.

Back when Ubisoft made good games
Walking super, mega slow feels incredibly good; only game that achieves this that comes to mind.
metal gear solid without the homoeroticism
I played it as a kid and I only remember the first mission on the dock. (maybe not knowing english then didn't help me)
For the life of me I could not make it pass that point and spent probably dozen of hours on that but it felt so good.

Fixes the problems the first one had, really great. Mission design could still be a bit less linear though.
Leagues better than the original Splinter Cell in every way. Stealth is reliable and consistent, AI is smart but not superhuman and other than some brief no-killing restrictions in maybe two out of the ten levels, there's no more of those obnoxious mission failure parameters like don't set off more than three alarms.
Unlike the first game where it was a bit too linear for any expression, there's multiple ways to tackle your objectives in Chaos Theory. Even the simple act of unlocking a secure door has multiple solutions. You can either hack the keypad, find the code by interrogating a guard, or find the code on an open desktop if you prefer to ghost the level instead.
Even areas where the game wants you to engage in combat, there's always a way to sneak by guards undetected rather than being boxed in and forced into a shootout like the original game.
On top of this, it helps a lot that 8/10 of the levels are brilliantly designed and all of them look beautiful for a game that came out in 2005. The dark and stormy Lighthouse and classic break-in styled Bank levels were standouts.
The only bad thing I can say is that the Seoul and Bathhouse levels were pretty crappy. The bathhouse level especially as it introduces enemies with heat vision goggles so they can perfectly see you in the dark which makes stealth against them in that tense bomb defusal sequence basically pointless. It amazes me I was even able to get a mission rating of 90% on the Bathhouse level on Hard difficulty. But I’m able to look past them because the rest of the game is so good
Overall, Chaos Theory is a massive improvement over the original Splinter Cell and is a must-play for any fan of the stealth genre.

I love when splinter cell Said, "its time for a lil chaos theory. " and he made this face 😏
I knew at that moment, this would be a good game.

Despite the fact of meager level design and lack of application of the game's functionality, this is a colossal concept that was buried under earth never being born. Thanks Ubi. I was playing and thinking about how easily they can create a new game in this series that would be a real breakthrough.
Divônico, Babilônico e incrível. É o melhor da saga SIM e sei a maior parte dos diálogos. Única coisa ruim é aquele mapa de Seul q se vc fazer 100% de primeira, tu tá mentindo.
For me, the best Splinter Cell game alongside the first one.
Absolute CLASSIC, still have the og PS2 copy of it I played a bunch back in the day. And I bought it on steam too and played it a couple of times. Amazing game!
