This is a fun game that has been put in a bad light since most reviewers are comparing this game to Chaos Theory on the consoles, it not on the same level but what's there is fun. Instead of ub soft/Gamelots trying to follow the console/pc version of the game they took the story and set it in a different direction giving the game a feel more like the first Splinter Cell than Chaos Theory which is the third game in the serious, this game is all about stealth the controls are not set up for run and gun game play. Graphic in this handheld version are good and have a nice level of detail, they even use the different vision modes. There are so rough spots like the frame rate but since the game is about stealth and not speed it never a issue if you take it slow. Sound in this game are good...... sorry but there are no voice overs in this version but the level sound and affect are all nicely done. Especially the sound of cutting someone neck with the knife. This game is a good Value for the fan of Splinter Cell, it was fun to have the ability to have this kind of game on the go. It has a great single player campaign mode that long ang fun. Plus they even added the 2 player co-op and the 4 player spy vs merc and there are unlockables hidden in the game. The Game play in this version of Chaos theory is great not what you'll expect from a handheld version of a game of this type. While it has changed some area of the game from the console version the story is still there for the most part. Level are done in a linear manner and the control favor stealth over run and gun..., aiming and overall camer control are done on the touch screen. For that matter so are some key other features like checking your on-sat, switching version modes, checking inventory and switching weapons, unlock doors, entering code on key pads yeah sounds like alot but they are all nicely done and the touch screen is very responsive. Oh here's a trip aiming can be done with the d-pad while using the scope on the rifle. This is a solid version of Splinter Cell for a handheld and really should not be compared with the console version of the game. This game offer a great story, great control once you get use to it, and a overall good experience for fans of the console versions or for someone looking for a good stealth game on the go. Plus the two multiplayers modes are fun to play but do require all player to have copies of the game.
