Sam Fisher has had some great adventures over the years, and MP1st rates 'em all! Here's all the Splinter Cell games ranked..
Easy. Single player? Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, The original Splinter Cell, Double agent, Dumpster Fires then on.
Multiplayer? Chaos Theory, Pandora Tomorrow, Dumpster Fire A, Then dumpster fire B. So on.
Blacklist had some really good gameplay though i just didn't care for the voice actor of Sam Fisher.
My list would be SP - Chaos Theory, Black List, Original SC, Pandora Tomorrow, Double Agent, then Conviction. Conviction is by far the worst game by far.
Never played the MP since i never cared for it.
Conviction was fantastic and definitely better than Double Agent. Can't argue with the rest of the list though.
Yep agree here. Conviction was always tagged as Hobo Sam but it was a fantastic game.
You forgot Double Agent on the Xbox/PS2//Wii its a completely different game to the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version.
It’s mentioned in the write up for Double Agent. But we just combined both of them into one entry since only the 360 version is story canon.
I actually agree with this list somehow. Chaos theory and then conviction. It’s very much up for debate.

"Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is believed to be the greatest title in its series by many gamers."
Highly disagree. "Chaos Theory" was highly rated by the press. If you asked the SC fans, who have played them all,you will find that they see the first as the greatest. After CA the series went down hill.
Good to see more HD remakes
