Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

PS2 is back in action. It was sent for repairs and the 'Loading Chip' and 'Controller Chip' were replaced at a cost of RM95. However, I have to get a new controller because mine were broken. Another RM40 for it. So, all in all I have to fork out RM150. Not a bad deal.

Hence, I went and start a new game that I bought long time ago.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
I like this one better than METAL GEAR because the gameplay is easier. The challenges are not too hard.Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory continues the trend with improved controls, graphics, a polished adversarial mode, and new co-op missions.Chaos Theory contains three unique gameplay types, but this doesn't mean the solo mode has been overlooked. The story follows a typical Tom Clancy formula of throwing as much globe-trotting and technical jargon in a person's face as possible. While Sam Fisher is a step above the typical meathead video game protagonist, he seems to have a very small emotional investment in his job. There are no Metal Gear love triangles or family disputes; Sam is simply a soldier who is doing his job.There are 10 levels of single-player international espionage and each one contains primary and secondary objectives. The levels are better designed than the other games in the series and Chaos Theory is more of a true sequel than Pandora Tomorrow. t the beginning of each level there is an equipment selection screen that gives players the choice of a stealth or assault package. There is also a third option called "Redding's Recommendation" which usually contains a mixture of items best suited to the level.

PS2 Controller Problem

Finally, my PS2 gave up on me during the weekend when it refuse to talk to the controller. I was in the middle of playing a golf game when the game froze but my controller light was still on.

I intended to send the PS2 for repairs since it cannot read some of the games properly. However, I delayed it because I just want to see how far I can stretch the machine before I have to cough out some dough to repair it.

I am crossing my fingers in the hope that the repair will not be expensive. I suspect the controller port is screwed up and the repair should not be as much as buying a new PS2.
