GameSpy has thrown together a review on Ubisoft's recently released stealth title, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. With a final score of 4 1/2 stars out of 5, they really seemed to dig it. Anyways, here's something to nibble on:

The campaign turns out to be the best of the Splinter Cell series. It might not feel completely novel now that we're on the third installment, but the story is a bit tighter and more dramatic than in the past, and the levels are the most finely crafted of the series. You'll sneak through caves on the Peruvian shore, break into a bank, infiltrate a high-tech high-rise, flit through a Japanese country home, explore a missile base, and more. Not only are the levels slickly designed and beautiful to behold, but they offer you more freedom than in the first two Splinter Cell games. There are more options for the order in which you complete primary and secondary goals, and you'll find more ways to navigate the levels and outwit the guards.
