I believe all of the classic splinter cells deserve to be here. I was a kid with very little money and was able to afford a game maybe each month. Probably less but splinter cell was always a cheaper choice because it was a tom clancy game. Never understood why they were cheaper as i always thought they were some of the highest quality made games i had played for that gen. Still do. So i buy a copy of splinter cell 1 and take it home and end up pulling out a copy of chaos theory. And little me is confused, excited and regardless i play it to try it out. I have never felt such power, like i was stalking my prey and because of the environments and levels felt somehow cozy. Which those games somehow made me feel. I just had to play more. So the next few games i bought were the 1st one and then pandora's tomorrow. Pandora's tomorrow was a sad moment for me as it was the last of the high quality splinter cell's they took it in an interesting direction after that and while i still like double agent and even conviction i think that 1, chaos theory and pandora's tomorrow were able to preserve that feeling i had as a kid best and really make you feel like you were savimg the country. Great game, many games stand in the footprints of the giants that were the stealth defining 3rd person splinter cell original trilogy.
