Although the graphics are great and the game play and missions are challenging, it has a better story than previous Splinter Cell games, and also a good amount of cooperative two-player missions, but, with it being a wii game i was expecting something a little bit better...for me...the one major flaw is the controls...their a little messed up as far as how you move and interact with areas and objects in the game, but...once you learn the basics it's not that bad...it just takes some time getting used to the controls
First let me say I think people have written off the 1st person shooter games for wii a little early, they take a steady hand and a few hours to get used to but once you do there is nothing like it . Now don't get me wrong there are a few out there that are just flat out bad ( controls, story line, and graphics )but on the other side there are a few that should have given there ps3 or xbox360 versions a run for there money (not considering the graphics). This is one of those games the controls are edgy and take some skill to master. I have read other reviews that state the controls are hard to use ... aiming is all about pointing your wiimote at the target (ever shot a gun? there is no joystick...)and other commands take a little effort as well (like jumping). The story line is good and single player mode is entertaining. The best part of Splinter Cell Double Agent is the new Co-Op mode. The Co-Op missions play along with the story line for the single player mode, however if you have not played the single player mode you may not be able to follow what is going on. the Co-Op mode makes the 2 players work together unlike any other game i have ever seen. tasks like using your partner to hold a rope while you rappel down a crater to get a hold of a vital piece of info needed to finish a level, or using your partner as a ladder to reach and disable cameras. The levels make you think about how to continue towards your objective. Some levels make you feel like there is no where to go but if you just keep looking you will find it (through a vent on the floor or via climbing pipes to the next floor). Over all as i said this is a great game. After borrowing it from a friend i found that it was one i wanted for my collection. I did have a hard time finding a copy locally , but i also do not live in a metro area. I would recommended that you at least give it a try , an hour or two to get used to the controls and you will have it down.Read full review
This is a pretty good game, even though I wasn't paying attention when started bidding on it!, I didn't realize I was bidding on THIS GAME, until I won it! It actually turned out to be a pretty cool game since I like previous splinter cells. The controls are pretty challenging for the wii, and are sometimes hard to remember when your trying to get through the missions quickly. If you familiar with the older splinter cell games for xbox and ps2, then you would know that they are sometimes dark and its hard to navagate, but this one is pretty bright.
Now its a little wierd at first if your used to other Splinter Cell games from the Xbox or Gamecube or whatever. But gameplay is great, graphics are great, and the story is amazing. I can definetly vouch for Splinter Cell Double Agent.
I purchased this game for my husband and i think it's great for the simple fact that it is a challenge for him. All the other games he played ex:007, Call of Duties he breezed right thru. but this game has is eyes wide open and i'm loving it!
