For as dated as the game is, it's still a classic. The storyline is perfect. the game compels you to choose sides, which makes it really fun in my eyes. The control scheme may be a little confusing, but it doesn't take much to get it figured out. All in all, a nostalgic masterpiece.

It was good as the splinter cell line goes, which is to say great. One of my favorite fdeatures of thie line of games is that you get the highest rating by *not* killing any one. Although you can "knock them out" which although harder to do, is the same effect as far as game play goes, that is the knocked-out character is removed from gameplay. Anyway, the point is that in comparison with reviews from the xbox and ps3 versions, its is obvious that the PS2 version is the forgotten stepchild of the lot with reduced plot, options, and significantly lower quality graphics. I was pretty happy with my PS2 untill i saw the reviews, so now i'm going to upgrade.
I classify myself as a critical gamer. For a game to really stand out to me, it needs to qualify in a few areas. First, the game needs to be "better" than the predecessors. This means, graphics, gameplay, storyline, and other such things need to be a step above the previous games in the series. As the technology of the day increases, games need to keep up. I found SC4 to be lacking in the smoothness of graphics the SC games have had in the past. I was a big fan of SC3 and when SC4 was released, I purchased it immediately. I felt that the graphics left a little to be desired, compared to the third game. The AI of the SC games have never stunned me as incredibly bright. I think a criminal warlord could afford to hire more observant guards than the ones that seem to be in the game. I know if I hear a noise in the dark, I'd probably react a little more cautiously than the guards in the game tend to. The moves are basically the same as SC3 with a few exceptions, which was nice, however, I think Ubisoft could have come up with a few more kill actions. Next, I feel that Sam Fisher is more than enough bad ass to need an assistant in the game to complete minor objectives for him: I think the programmers got lazy. As far as storyline is concerned, I was skeptical about the whole DA thing, and as I played the game, my fears came true. There was not enough flexibility in story line to allow for playing opposite sides of the line. I could go into to details, but I'd hate to ruin the game for anyone. Overall, I give the game a B- However, I still recommend playing it however borrow it from a friend, becuase, as a big fan of the books, each game adds just one more dimension to Sam Fisher, but spending money on that is unnecessary.Read full review

Splinter Cell Double Agent is another great game for those gamers who want a game in which you have to think things through, just running around blasting things will not work. That makes the game more realistic. Splinter Cell Double Agent introduces elements which improve this already great franchise. The Trust Meter feature makes it possible to replay the game from different angles. Gameplay is great, Sam still has great moves. The Bonus Maps are very interesting. They are bonus separate mini missions. This game is well worth the money to buy it and the time to play it.
