OP has a great starting point. Chaos Theory was the ultimate culmination of what a Splinter Cell game could be. Every since then they have screwed it up in different various ways. So yes, for purist Chaos Theory remains the best.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Double Agent and I'm enjoying Conviction in a almost Splinter Cell way. But I'm kinda pissed they went with the storyline where you shot lambert because you did have the option not to in Double Agent and an ending where lambert still died but you didn't do it.
It almost seems cruel for Ubisoft to have forced Sam to kill his best friend in cold blood.
Plus the black and white crap has to go. The graphics are too pretty to dull out that way. Plus its buggier than the old shadow system used to be and unlike the old games which allowed you to shoot out lights to total darkness, the new game seems more like it wants to be batman arkham asylum where everything is dark but its like full moon dark and you can only hide is tiny designated spots.
And I'm not a fan of forcing straight up gunplay like they do at certain parts. Its a stealth game where certain parts remove all stealth like it wants to be some gears of war hybrid.
I think its much longer than 5 hours on realistic though because I'm dying a lot and restarting sections. I played at least 5 hours yesterday and I'm not done.
