Is the game actually any good?
I saw a trailer on television the other day - it looked like the last Splinter Cell - basically updated.
Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing.

Try reading one of the many reviews online. They all explain the differences between chaos theory and the other splinter cells.
There are many dynamics that make the game much better, but really you need to play it to feel them yourself. The demo really doesn't do it justice at all. Actually, it's the shortest and most linear mission in the whole game, but I suppose thats because it's the first mission. I've played both the previous splinter cells and I can say that while I thought they were pretty good, this latest one is fantastic. The graphics are superb, so are the animations etc. But really it's how open and realistic the missions seem that brings it above the previous games. There are so many options throughout the game, it's just great. The AI is also some of the best i've seen, very convincing.
But one thing you have to do is make sure your brightness setting is correct, and also turn on hardware shadow mapping.

There is one, unfortunately at the moment you have to buy it. I'll rather wait.

Nah it's just a gameplay mechanic, like the light on his back too. Without those indicators you wouldn't know where you were in a pitch black area without the night vision goggles, which sometimes are useless when there is a lightsource nearby. Just like the interrogations, it's a gamepay concession.
I mean, if you wanted to get really pedantic you could pick any game apart, but who cares about things like that when they enhance the gameplay.

i discovered the reason why this release isn't working for many people. first of all dvd device must be recognized as USB 2.0 only NOT USB 1.1
1) remove starforce drivers (not sure this is required but better safe than sorry)
2) burn pizzhut release with RMPS emulation
3) activate RMPS emulation in Alcohol 120 options
4) reboot may be needed
5) physically unplug any IDE cd/dvd devices
6) delete the following registry key if it exists: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Splinter Cell Chaos Theory\Keys
7) run scct and enter the proper activation code
proper: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-7JMAW
in the nfo is the cd-key as: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-7JMAW7
that serial provided only works with an US dvd, which differs from the EMEA dvd and such require different set of activation codes.
if you can't or won't unplug IDE cd/dvd devices i've read that you can use StarForce Nightmare 1.12 and disable 'IDE channel 2'. unconfirmed though.

There might be a way to burn it to DVDR, without the use of an external USB drive :

Thread was closed unfortunately, but that's interesting anyway,
so if someone has a few DVDR left...

You need USB2 DVD drive... You can probably unhook your disk drive from the external rack and plug your DVD in and then play..

what was that last bit you said? it didn't make sense... it sounded like you were saying to plug your harddrive into your cd rom slot . if that's what you said then you should know that the 'slot' has nothing to do with it.... it's just a secondary drive bus.
is there a way to maybe emulate an external usb2.0 dvd drive?
