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.
You forgot Double Agent on the Xbox/PS2//Wii its a completely different game to the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version.
I actually agree with this list somehow. Chaos theory and then conviction. It’s very much up for debate.
