Best Splinter Cell Games

The Top Ten
1 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the best Splinter Cell game in the series based on my experience. It just gives you a lot of options, routes, and styles in completing a mission.

The missions are also well made. The maps are great and the story is really engaging. This is also the only game in the series that makes the player "feel" like he is Sam Fisher rather than just controlling him, as all the things you do (picking locks, hacking devices, avoiding light, reducing noise, etc.) are all manual and need some attention.

The other games are all simplified in my opinion, as you don't do much of the "manual" stuff like hacking, picking locks, etc. In Blacklist, the hacking is as simple as holding a button. Lol, what a noob. Blacklist is my second favorite, but nothing beats Chaos Theory. It's all about the gameplay, not the graphics.

2 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist

The best Splinter Cell game in the series with incredibly difficult levels, especially on perfectionist difficulty. Probably the best stealth game of all time. Only problem is that characters' faces look weird.

The best... I've completed it, and it is one of the best games I've ever played. I was shocked when people voted Chaos Theory as number one. I've also played that, but I was disappointed with its graphics.

Blacklist had a great campaign, cool co-op missions, and it was great to see some stealth from the original games combined with action from Conviction. Overall, one of my favorites.

3 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction

This is Splinter Cell without the Splinter Cell. Not enough stealth element. It's just an FPS game that is done well. Kudos to that, but not to stealth. I think this is the worst out of the SC franchise, but then it's still good. Don't get me wrong.

The emotion Sam shows is incredible. And the fact that he uses his surroundings to interrogate instead of holding a knife to their throat is amazing. And his comments are hilarious.

Sam Fisher is awesome, and his combat is really cool. A very good game. The best I ever played.

4 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent

-ORIGINAL Xbox VERSION-
Made by the authors of SC1 and Chaos Theory, the Xbox/PS2 version has only a superficial resemblance to the PC/360 version. In this, we have the best level design of the series, with gameplay that encloses the best features of the previous three games.

The story is really engaging, and the moral decisions add a bit of role-playing to the experience. Really, really, really underappreciated.

The Original Xbox version is graphically miles better than PS2/GC/Wii, and it's compatible with the Xbox 360.

5 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Definitely my favorite out of all the Splinter Cells, and my favorite Splinter Cell game of all time. Great story, great ideas, and for its time, amazing graphics. I absolutely love this game.

My top ten would be like this: Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Double Agent (if it didn't have all its issues with crashes and such, it would be much better though), Chaos Theory, Blacklist, Pandora Tomorrow, SC Essentials (had a good story), Conviction, GBA Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell 3D, then Chaos Theory DS (that game was awful).

6 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow.

Ahhh... memories.

This game really deserves to be considered the best SC game ever made.

Yeah, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory offers a good story, amazing graphics, and well-polished stealth gameplay, but Pandora Tomorrow has a unique style and mysterious atmosphere that you can't find in any other SC game.

- Various mission locations (jungle missions, a secret cryogenics lab, and the most memorable - the rainy streets of Jakarta).
- Amazing suspenseful music perfectly matches the game's atmosphere that is just unmatched.
- Perfectly chosen voices for the characters, an interesting story, and a charismatic leader of guerrilla militias.

Just buy this game and play it to see what I mean.

Don't compare it with Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, or any other game.

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow is simply one of the best video games of the 2000s.

10/10.
