20 PS2 Games That Prove It's The Best Console Ever

12. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

GTA: San Andreas Follow the train
Ubisoft

Arguably the most famous series in Ubisoft's Tom Clancy franchise is Splinter Cell, and though it's not featured for a good few years now, there was a time when it was one of Ubi's most popular titles.

Between the years of 2002 and 2006, Ubisoft released four Splinter Cell games on consoles. The first, simply dubbed Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, was a rousing success, and Ubi quickly followed it up with sequels in Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, and Double Agent. It was the third entry that's considered the greatest of the lot though, and looking back, it's easy to see why.

To many, Chaos Theory is the definitive stealth action video game, bringing together light, sound and a now iconic performance from Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher to impart this impression over the course of its 14 hour run-time. It was also the entry that perfected the Spies vs. Mercs game-mode - what else could possibly be said?
