I am a Splinter Cell...
Finished playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory last night. Though i think it's this morning. It was 3:00 a.m. so you've to judge for yourself. Anyway, the game is amazing. When I bought it, I'd been expecting another FPS without any variety. Couldn't be more wrong.
The character is very well detailed, and has this array of amazing visual equipment and sneaky moves at his disposal. The best part of course is that for most of the game, you need to play using your night vision on , and that rules! Seeing the workd in shades of washed out shades of green and being almost blinded by the merest candle is something pretty cool.
Then there are moments when your ears are burning because you have to defuse 3 bombs and you don't know where they are and there are guys chasing you with Shock Sticks, and there's this techno soundtrack - it feels so amazing that half of the times I forgot to defuse the bombs and just *felt* as if I was in a movie. No. Really.
The end is satisfying too. The story is a bit loose though, and the save system has some limit after which it screws up. Other than that, Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory ranks right up there with Halo, Halo 2 and Half Life 2.
I've tried the CoOp a few times and you have to play it to see it, believe me.
Try Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory. You might like it.
That concludes what I did this weekend. lol!
