Just like Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell Double Agent is the best in its class. You will not find a better stealth action game on the market right now. That being said, there is still much to be desired in Double Agent. First off, Ubisoft stuck with the tried and true controls and overall gameplay of Chaos Theory, so if you've played the previous Splinter Cell title, you will have no problem jumping right into this game. I was a little dissapointed by the lack of new moves or gadgets for Sam, but the stupendous graphics on HD make up for it. You can actually see the sweat dripping off Sam's neck during the game. Besides nice visuals, this game has a very good storyline. The in between mission scenarios where you must balance your duties as a terrorist against the NSA objectives add a great twist that will keep you on your toes. However, I must say I had an overall lackluster feeling about the game when I finished it in a mere 12 hours and all I got was a less than satisfactory ending. It felt like the producers just wanted to wrap up the game and said "screw this" to the character relationships and development. Multiplayer is where the game really shines. If you have Live, and you like sweating uncontrollably from your armpits as you nervously creep around to a deathly silence, then this is the game for you. In a nutshell: Singleplayer is worth a rental just to see the amazing visuals, but don't expect much replay value. If you have Live, this game will keep your heartrate dancing.Read full review
This game is a fun experience if you haven't ever played any of the other Splinter Cell games. The action is great, and the idea of staying invisible is cool. The graphics are donw well, along with the settings. The setbacks are the tedious controls...it was until about 3/4 done with the game before I had all of the buttons down. Another problem was the artificial intelligence. Sometimes the characters would make you feel like they had eyes on the back of their heads. Also, if you sometimes would shoot someone in the back of the head, it may not respond, and off the alarm goes! Last but not least, some characters that you kill will flop around as if they had a seizure, which takes away any of the realness that is still there. Bottom Line: Go play this game for the action, but it's definately not a keeper.Read full review
I bought this because, I bought a Xbox 360 after this game came out. And I owned the Xbox original version. In this game I like the single player a lot. The missions are really fun. If you've played the version for the original xbox, this game is completely different and thats what I like about it. In this game they took away the light meter, sound meter and all the HUD. They condensed it into one light on your back and the screen. Green means your good, your in darkness. Yellow means your not in darkness and the bad guys don't know were you are(yet). And red mead the enemy sees you and will actively seek you you and try to kill you. The multi player is not so good. If your a diehard Splinter cell fan you will probly like Splinter cell Chaos Theory's multiplayer better. For both COOP and Versus. The versus in this game is really fast paced (I don't like that) its too fast paced for splinter cell. But one cool this is that the spies are like monkeys they climb, run, and dive around the maps. The spies DO NOT have stun guns. The mercs don't have mines (we all love them) also most of the cool gadgets are not in this game. The Mercs don't look cool, like they did in Chaos theory. Overall its still a good game and fun to play.Read full review
I am a huge Splinter Cell fan. I have all the games from the Splinter Cell (SC) series. Story Concept: It's a decent story with some new ideas for gameplay. There are a few things such as building mines and cracking email seems out of place for SC series. Gameplay: You earn new gear when you complete some of tasks in a level properly. You can finish the missions even without these upgrades. The basic gear is more than enough for a full stealth gameplay mode. The stealth scoring is better. You can finish the level and the game any way you like, but the stealth score depends on how you finish the level. I am not happy with the way game saving option is laid out. It was far better in SC-Chaos Theory. No quick save feature for Double Agent. Multiplayer: I have not played the multiplayer mode yet. So I will not provide any input for this section. Overall: It's a decent game, but I was not as satisfied with single player game as I was with the previous series of Splinter Cell. I would give 4 out of 5.Read full review
For anyone who has enjoyed the Splinter Cell series, you will NOT be disappointed. WIth similar controls to previous installments, the only additions were positives---more weapons, more missions, and a great twist to the storyline--the ability to choose sides. This makes the game take on an entirely new feel and is a huge positive. The first person solo story is great---giving you the options to use stealth or action. You can go in guns blazing or sneak in the shadows to complete your many objectives. In addition to the solo story, the hude plus of Double Agent is the online play. This online play is entirely different from the solo mode and is a huge addition to the game. Playing a spys or as Upsilon Force adds to the overall understanding of the game itself. You will find yourself playing on line for hours and then switching back to solo to move forward. ALso good are the unlockable achievements which include unlockables for online and solo mode. They are neither easy nor impossible--a good mix to those who want a real challenge but don't want impossible accomplishments. This game is definitely worth the money in my opinion based solely on the fact of enjoyable hours of play that can be had from Splinter Cell Double Agent.Read full review
