capabilities." The New York Times gave the game a favourable review and stated that "Perhaps Sam is just getting older, perfecting his skills while losing some feistiness. His games are following the same path, with increasingly sophisticated, deep gameplay but a little less flair." Jim Schaefer of Detroit Free Press gave the Xbox version three stars out of four, stating, "I'll reserve a four-star rating for the next time this series takes big leaps. In this latest edition, there's nothing so new that you'll stop and say, 'Whoa.' But Chaos Theory is true to the things that make Splinter Cell games so good." Chaos Theory was a finalist for PC Gamer USs "Best Action Game 2005" and "Best Multiplayer Game 2005" awards, which ultimately went to F.E.A.R. and Battlefield 2, respectively.
