I think this series is a victim of sequelities.

If you ask me, it also says that if youre going to do that, use numbered titles. I got no idea how many games in the series there are. Its not a series you can easily jump into.

But it's not like it's a series based heavily on story anyway. It just launched at the wrong time.

It kinda is.  Sam Fisher had to kill his boss, find his dead daughter (or some shit.  I can't remember.) was still alive, and become a fugitve.  Storyline is pretty important--not in a MGS way, but still.

And this is why I'm still on the first one. Normally, I'd just skip to the most recent one (e.g. Hitman), but I don't want to start the last three Splinter cells (or however many released last gen) without completing the first three.

Well there's zero story in Pandora Tomorrow. so I say skip right to the best one in the series (chaos theory) and move on from there.

Oh really? Thanks for the tip. How long is it though? If it's not that long, I might as well play it. And there's really absolutely no story, or is the story just paper thin?
