Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics, voice acting, and the story all had potential to be engaging and captivating considering how Chaos Theory improved upon everything that made Splinter Cell stand out to its contemporaries, if it were given more time in the oven, that is.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It features many gameplay scenarios/sections which I'd consider to be the best of the games I've played so far as well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In dialogues voice actors do a great job with Michael Ironside as Sam at top, but soundtrack composed by Michael McCann is just...forgetable.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The frame rate is nice to have but the resolution is also causing noticeable schism in the visual fidelity, as you can now see the back drop is not always to par.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They're small enough to be pretty easy too, the timer is just meant to add pressure but you'll rarely be too hard up for time.
