Order vs Chaos: Part Two
[one_third]Part two of our permadeath playthrough of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory sees us stow aboard a ship in the middle of the ocean…[/one_third]
Permadeath playthroughs are riveting things. Far Cry 2 even inspired a novella-like account of one. With only one life – for the entire game – the tension is incredible, and the changes to the way one traditionally approaches gameplay remarkable. We’ve taken the permadeath approach to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Ubisoft Montreal’s critically-acclaimed threequel and one of the best stealth games ever made.

Let us know if you’d like to see more, and how you’d like to see it. More or less commentary? More aggressive playstyles? Would you like to see a permadeath co-op campaign, too? Comment below, and enjoy the video. We’ll add further entries to this post as we make them.
Great stuff, keep at it 🙂
Commentary is enough, too much would ruin it. I\’d love to see a bolder playstyle though, not lethal but faster.
But that\’s probably because I enjoy the thrills of taking risks 🙂
I\’ve enjoyed this quite a lot. For me you\’ve struck just about the right level of carefulness with a fair bit of good ol\’ fashined paranoia.
Keep at it.
I quite enjoyed that- it\’s been ages since I played SC:CT but I still remember it as one of my favourite games and I mean to return to it at some point in the near future.
Video-wise, the commentary seemed pretty good to me and the overall pace of the level was good also. The bit at the lighthouse dragged on but I suppose that\’s to be expected with a playthrough like this…. goodness knows I\’ve spent my share of time just sitting and observing guard movements before FINALLY manning up and making a move.
You know, you can always whistle when you want a guard to move; they\’ll investigate the sound, so you can lead them away from areas you don\’t want them to be in.
I keep forgetting that Sam can do this! 🙂
