Playstation PS3 Splinter Cell: Double Agent Clear

After making the mistake of trading this version in for the 360 version, I finally decided to trade the 360 version in to get my old XBOX Double Agent back after being dissapointed with the 360 version.I won't even go into graphics and sound, because as always they are great. No big improvments from Chaos Theory, but that is not a bad thing since the visuals and audio in CT were near perfect.The actual storyline is kind of a twist from past Splinter Cell titles, instead of working solely for the NSA, you actually become a double agent to bring down the terrorist organization, the JBA from the inside. The things that happen in this game have already happened as you will be able to tell from the cutscreens between the missions.

The things that happen in this game have already happened as you will be able to tell from the cutscreens between the missions. As a Double Agent, you will be forced to make tough decisions. Before you choose, you must decide what is most important, the lives of innocent people, or keeping your cover and gaining the trust of the JBA. But be carefull tip the trust meter too much to one side and your mission will be in jeopardy one way or the other. Do too many things that help the JBA, and the NSA will threaten call off the mission, Do too many things to help the NSA and the JBA becomes suspicious and your cover may be blown.The game mechanics are pretty much the same from past, and you have what seems all of the gadgets and tools you have from past Splinter Cell titles, you can still remote hack, split jump, optic cable, disable cameras, lights and other electronics with yo.

There is so much that is good about this game that its hard to know where to start. This is my personal favorite splinter cell in the series just barely topping chaos theory. This version is head and shoulders better than the 360 and pc version and plays very closely to chaos theory. The graphics are great for an original xbox installment and the gameplay and level design is amazing. The jba and nsa trust meter is a fun new element but is never intrusive on your play style. The story is enjoyable and dramatic and put together with the gameplay it is what makes double agent for the original xbox a classic and on of the best sc games. Im case you are wondering there are changes to the story compared to the 360 but they all are improvements in my opinion.

This is the best version of sc double agent and arguably one of the best sc games to date. If you have the money dont miss out.

I'm not a "Gamer" outfitted with the latest tech and spec available. I'm an infrequent player of FPS games and I enjoy them a lot, when I have time. I've played a handful of PC and Console games and all of them take a little bit of practice to get the controls just right...so I quickly dismiss complaints about using Wiimotes with FPS games. With Splinter Cell: Double Agent, the Wiimotes actually make the game more engaging and fun. With so many options and directions the storyline can go, this game continues to deliver over and over again. I should say again, I am not a "Gamer". But if you like FPS games or have enjoyed other Splinter Cell games - you should really enjoy this one...especially on the Wii.

I was overall very happy with this game. Although the storyline is different than the Xbox 360 version, it is based on the same levels. I did find that the intros into each level lacked a bit, but the gameplay was great. This game utilizes the wiimote's motion controls which are used to jump, climb, put Sam's back to the wall, and to pick locks. Solo mode is very well designed.This game's co-op mode is very similar to the co-op mode in Splinter Cell 3 Chaos Theory. It's fun to play this mode with a seasoned splinter cell pro, but trying to play with someone who isn't, well you'll find yourself doing everything and trying to watch two screens at the same time. FYI: Co-op is impossible to complete if one person does everything.Overall, this is a good game, but Ubisoft ... MoreI was overall very happy with this game.

It sure seemed like the Splinter Cell games came tumbling out of Ubisoft all at once: Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent. Out of those three, Chaos Theory was clearly the pinnacle. That was and is the best Splinter Cell title to date.But a not-too distant second would have to go to Double Agent. This must have been a terribly complex game for the developers to make, simply due to the branching paths of the story that YOU get to decide. Sam is thrust into the seedy underworld, and must use his wits to stay alive. Lives of innocent people also factor into every decision he makes. Will Sam be too good at thwarting dastardly schemes, thus giving his identity away, or will he be able to navigate the treacherous minefield of gray area decision making, thus ... MoreIt sure seemed like the Splinter Cell games came tumbling out of Ubisoft all at once: Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent.

I purchased this game on the strength of liking a couple other Splinter Cell games. Glad I decided to buy this game. It's like a new game every time you play. The little things here and there you do decide your fate as you go. It has replay value, which is always good with a game. The one part part I dont like is the "team" aspect of a couple challanges, then again there is some of that in previous Splinter Cells.If you like the Splinter Cell series, then take a chance on this game. If youre not sure about it, you might want to rent it first. Either way this is a great game.

Before I start, I'd like to first say that this is an actual review of the game by someone who owns and plays the game, not like the above 'review' of someone copying out of the Chaos Theory instruction manual, and saying how good Double Agent WILL be.This game has three major parts to it- Solo, Coop, and Versus, just like Chaos Theory. I wont really be talking much about the Co-op, as it is basically just a continutation of the Chaos Theory coop. However, this time, it feels like there are actually enough missions. There are some new moves, but basically, it feels the same as the CT Coop. So, now, onto single player,Single Player-I haven't quite beaten the game yet, so I can't really comment on the heavily hyped multiple endings gameplay (Check back in a week or ... MoreBefore I start, I'd like to first say that this is an actual review of the game by someone who owns and plays the game, not like the above 'review' of someone copying out of the Chaos Theory instruction manual, and saying how good Double Agent WILL be.This game has three major parts to it- Solo, Coop, and Versus, just like Chaos Theory.

So, to start off, you are in iceland with a dumbass computer partner. You do a bit of preliminary activities with him, then are boosted into a secret underground base. I personally despise this level, as it is repetitive, not very graphically suprising with its settings (with the exception of the ice caves at the very beginning), and you are not faced with any hard choices, or special challenges. I begrudginly finished the level, crossing my fingers that the game would improve.My wish was granted. As soon as I hit the jail level, the game took a suprising turn for the better. There was a trust meter, and although at times it didn't make sense (the JBA wouldn't nessicarily trust you le.

Can you say Chaos Theory part 2! I played the 360 version of this game about 5 times now, and I do enjoy playing it, but after I finally got my hands on this version I doubt I will go back and play the other. I was under the impression that both games were the exact same, with one just being in high definition. I was quick to realize they are nothing alike, with the exception of a few same cut scenes.If you enjoyed playing Chaos Theory; then you will feel very comfortable with the controls and be impressed by the presentation.I have to take my hat off to the creators in Montreal for creating this version, as opposed to the creators that made the 360 version in Shanghai. Even the way the story is depicted in this version is superior to its counterpart.Also a very ... MoreCan you say Chaos Theory part 2!

Even the way the story is depicted in this version is superior to its counterpart.Also a very important aspect of the game is the training that is designed to help new comers to the series learn the controls; this is a feature that isn't introduced in 360 version, and I feel was a missing ingredient in the 360's success. I just love how the game picked up where Chaos Theory left off though, in anticipation for the release of Conviction, I've been playing through all the splinter cells to satisfy my urge, and I'm very excited I now have a game so similar to its predecessor.Every level is designed differently that the 360 version, giving you all the tools and gadgets you need. You get to do all the bad ass moves that Sam Fisher has always done: Hanging upside down snapping necks, doing splits in narrow hallways,.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the best game in existence, making it's descendant, Double Agent, and okay game. Maybe not up in the best game in existence games, but one of the best stealth ones. The gameplay is a heck of a lot of fun. But the story mode is kind of uncreative. I mean, Sam's daughter, Sarah, is pretty important in the series, and when she dies, it's not that big of a deal except for a little while. It really wasn't necessary for Sarah to die. I mean, Sarah dies, crushing Sam, so Lambert tries to keep Sam focused on his mission? They could've made him get assigned this mission without his daughter dying. Maybe his daughter dying could've been a plot in the next one, Conviction. Besides, I know way that his daughter could've been important in the ... MoreSplinter Cell Chaos Theory is the best game in existence, making it's descendant, Double Agent, and okay game.

Maybe his daughter dying could've been a plot in the next one, Conviction. Besides, I know way that his daughter could've been important in the game.But other than the story, the overall gameplay, which is the most important part, is creative, fun, and addicting. The feautures of the characters are kind of weird. Sam looks like he's sixty. And where the heck is Grimsdotter? Did she just dissapear? She isn't even mentioned. She's been with Sam the entire series and all of a sudden she isn't there without any explanation whatsoever. I mean, couldn't they at least explain why she is gone.One thing, though about the game is that the only reason it's good is because they take some ideas from Chaos Theory. If they were to do it on their own, it would be good, but all the features, such as the multiplayer, which isn't as good, and the not as good coop.

Another awesome Splinter Cell game to play and have fun with. This is a good game to play on the gamecube, however I would say that out of the whole series this is probably my least favorite. The story is good, but not as compelling as a Splinter Cell game ought to be. Although this is fun to play, the mechanics and controls are just the same as Chaos Theory and this title doesn't feel like an improvement in the series, it just feels like a filler not a quality story with epic gameplay. Plus the trust meter idea seemed a little cheap and almost pointless at times. Unless you really like SC games (like me!) then Chaos Theory would be a better bet.
