Is Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory really that good?

How do it' s graphics compare to Chronicles of Riddick for instance?
And how is it' s framerate? Does it maintain 30fps pretty well? does it ever drop?

Gameplay-wise i have nothing to complain about anymore, because of the ever so clever lethal-knife attack (see my other thread :P ), and the co-op mode looks very promising.

It' s that good and then some.

The graphics are the best to grace a console yet. While Riddick looked good standing still, SC looks spectacular at all times. It uses several different mapping techniques to accomplish it' s superb quality of visuals along with the best textures pushed out by the xbox yet. Riddick alwas blurred out when in motion to cover up the jaggies and such because the system just couldn' t handle putting the game into motio while holding up the poly counts and effects. SC' s programmers managed to make it stay at a silky smooth frame rate.

The only time the frame rate drops is when playing the co-op or versus online just because of lag. Other than that the game is smooth as silk.

The gameplay has also opened up greatly. The player can now run and gun if he or she pleases or can go the ol' stealth route. This allows it to be more appealing to a larger audience. I' ve only encountered a couple of times where killing has been restricted and stealth was emphasized, but this is a stealth game so it is expected.

SC:CT is the best game I' ve ever played. I' m enjoying every second of it.

Well, whats great about CO-OP mode in SC:CT is that it has a completely different story than in singleplayer, making it an entirely new experiance.
