Couldn't use on Vista

I couldn't find any specs on this product about if it would run on Vista before purchasing it, but for the price, it was worth a try. After installing, my pc crashed. I had to do a restore to get everything back to normal. I'll be willing to bet it's the protection software that caused the problem. Some PC's w/Vista will take it, some won't. I might have been able to eventually make it work but didn't want to mess with it. Gave it to my friend who uses XP, it worked perfect. I couldn't give it a rating only because I couldn't run it. Not upset tho.

Will not work with Vista, because the disk protection will not load into Vista. Works ok in XP and is somewhat fun.

I have no idea how this game is, because I was not sent the version I ordered. I ordered a CD-ROM and received a DVD; I don't have a DVD drive on my computer. Why should I have to buy a new drive because Amazon made an error?

It is a great game for adults (for you liberals out there that means over 18 and out of mommy and daddy's house).

Yep, another victim of Starforce

I was aware this game had starforce, but I decided to install it anyway, because I thought "How bad could starforce be". Personally I've never had a problems with starforce, NEVER, until this game. But thats because all my games before this one did'nt have starforce on them. First my Optical drive was turning slowly and then acting as if it was stuck. I was running this game on my DVD-ROM drive. Then one night I poped in my IL2 Pacific Fighters Flight Simulator game, and with no warning, my DVD ROM drive made a gun like POP noise, guess what, my IL2 Pacific Fighters CD is broken in about 7 to 8 big pieces. Talk about getting extremly mad. I kinda guess it was probably the starforce. Then later that week, my Windows XP home edition would not boot up, only show a black screen, I had a feeling it was also caused by starforce. Not only did I lose my optical DVD ROM drive, I also had to buy another Pacific fighters sim game CD. And I had to do a total reinstall of Windows XP home edition. You may be wondering why im not mad about what I experience. Well thats been a year ago and now Im fully recovered. Personally I would love to sue starforce for all the damage that was done to me. Just like some of the other reviews have told you. DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION OF THE GAME. If you really want to play this game, go for the console version.

(Alittle word for starforce company-->I hope you have to file bankrupcy, further more I hope you go to jail for making junk...)

Do *NOT* buy this version of the game

The Windows version of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is infected with Starforce, which besides potentially wrecking your Windows installation, can also physically destroy optical drives (and also may not work with newer hardware or operating systems).

Because of the infection, pick up one of the console versions of the game if you're interested. Obviously the graphics won't be as good, but they're still fine. Another alternative will be to play it through Gametap's rental service, when it shows up on there.

The game itself is a solid entry in the stealth action genre. Worth playing if you're a fan of the genre.

Note that as of today, this is the ONLY version infected with Starforce. Earlier and later entires in the series do NOT have Starforce, just this one.

I had no problems with StarForce. The game ran fine on my X850XT, and it had great (some of the best I've heard in a game) voice acting. The story was ok, but the missions made up for it. The controls were a little odd at first.

If you've exhausted the Hitman series and are looking for something more or less similar, go for this.

Great game.

This is probably the best Tom Clancy game I have played. I would definitely recommend it.

Just a tip: save the game often (or use quick saves). This prevents much frustration with the game, especially if you are trying to play Stealth mode and get caught after half an hour of progress without saving.
