 Splinter Cell Review July 23, 2008
Splinter Cell is always a great and really fun series to play. I really love these games, especially Double Agent. This game is a must have and I will play this game multiple times.
Not the same splinter cell I knew, But it's still good. June 25, 2008
Double Agent takes a new turn. Although I think Chaos Theory was better than this one, Still Double Agent is fun to play. You decide what objectives you wanna complete. Whether it's JBA or NSA it's your decision. And it affects the outcome of the game. There's one part in the game when you chose to either kill Lambert or save his life! (Very deep story line!)The really fun part is when you get to toy with the enemy! He'll find himself alone in the dark panicing while you sneek up on him and slit his throat or you can knock him out! Which ever you prefer.However I don't think that this game really needed the "M" rating. (Does anybody agree with me?)I think this could of been rated "T"
Not for novices, June 18, 2008
First off, the good.
The graphics are much improved, pretty much what you would expect from the PS3.
Many new added game play features, most notably the double agent feature where you actually carry out objectives that affect your future missions.
For example, after you plant a bomb on the ship, you can either:
1. Let the bomb go off and not risk blowing your cover,
2. Stop the bomb and have a solid standing with the NSA
But risk blowing your cover.
Or
3. Frame someone else for stopping the bomb and remain in good standing with both organizations.
Of course, the person who gets framed will no longer be there to help you. It's this kind of game play that truly breaks new ground and doesn't make this feel like an expansion to the Ps2/Xbox versions.
Also, new gadgets and features don't hurt this game at all. Interrogation, Fingerprint scanners, Laser microphones which are used to get past voice activated locks. If you liked previous versions of SC, chances are, you're going to love this one. The extra features are icing on the cake.
Now for the bad.
Although the graphics are great, there are plenty of times where the frame rate suffers slightly. It won't get to the point where it's totally unplayable, but even in a building where there aren't any huge explosions going on, it can get a little (just a little) jerky.
Secondly, This game is a lot more difficult than the first installment of SC. I have replayed SC many times over but in this version, you really -really- cannot afford to get spotted.
In some missions, getting spotted immediately ends the mission, you character freezes and there is no opportunity to escape. The "Alert" system is nothing like Metal Gear Solid's. When you get spotted, you don't have a time frame to knock out the guard before he calls for backup. Reinforcements will close in on you immediately, not to mention, you die in about 5-6 shots, which really tests your sneaking skills.
Lastly,
The beginning missions don't fully familiarize you with everything that Sam Fisher is capable of. These missions will tell you that you can interrogate someone for information, but they won't tell you more important things like being able to knockout/kill someone much faster by pressing L2 or R2 rather than sneaking right behind then, grabbing them, and taking precious seconds to drag them into a corner.
Of course, this can be fixed by simply opening the manual and taking mental notes of what the controls do. Just make sure you know the controls before embarking on more difficult missions.
All and all,
Great game play, improved graphics, new features, Innovative system.
If you're looking for a challenge, the new bar set with this version would give the most seasoned Splinter Cell Veterans something to work on (Even on normal difficulty).
However, if you have never played SC before, stick to easy mode or you'll find yourself in a perpetual game of -Trial and Error-
 FREEZE PROBLEMS BAD SOFTWARE BEWARE June 4, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
HEy I love splinter cell and this game was great except for all the FREEZING. It froze all the time and now I can not even finish it because it FREEZES on the second level in the prison. Same place every time. It is TERRIBLE. I contacted both Ubisoft and Playstation. THey blamed eachother. Although I tend to agree with PS because not any other game I have bought has a problem. But even so Ubisoft will not take it back. So I will not buy Ubisoft games anymore until they work out there software problems. BEWARE read other websites about this and you will see I am not the only one.
Best Splinter Cell Yet April 10, 2008
The play control is very similar to the previous games in the series. The biggest improvement in my opinion is in the depth of the plot. In this installment Fisher infiltrates a domestic terrorist organization. He has to gain the trust of the terrorists but if he's too loyal he will lose the trust of the NSA. This plot twist means that as a player you have to think before you make decisions because there will be consequences based on your decisions, both good and bad.
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who's into espionage style adventure games.
