Positives:
+ The puzzle mechanics (the 4 Dimensions shifts) are really interesting and fun to mess around with.
+ Has a very nice art styles and environments.
+ Decent soundtrack.
+ Ike
Negatives:
- Inconsistent puzzle quality. Sometimes they can be creative and satisfying to solve, but sometimes they can feel bland and repetitive to play.
- Annoying platforming sections, considering the object physics are not that consistent and first person platforming is always an awkward thing to do.
- The Professor is not a good character. He tries too hard to be quirky and funny, but it ends up making him irritating to listen to. I especially hate when he gives you hints or straight up backseats you in the middle of solving a puzzle.
- A boring and forgettable story.
Overall, it's not a good puzzle-platformer game. You're not missing out on anything if you haven't played it yet.

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.
