Splinter Cell: Double Agent (PS3)

Easily the best SC game in the series so far. It takes the classic sneak/stealth format (with some modifications such as the absence of the "light-metre" instead going with the character being either hidden or exposed - simple enough) and it adds a fantastic storyline to boot with every action having numerous reactions. It's a simple choice really. Those who like to save the world can do by bringing down a very dangerous terrorist cell and those who have a bit of a "mean streak" can chose to exercise it here.The game takes Sam Fisher all over the world from Iceland to Mexico and from New York to the simply brilliant mission in Shanghai which had me absolutely engrossed. A must buy for anyone who likes to sneak around or people waiting for the PS3 version of Metal Gear Solid and have some time to fill to March 2008.P.S. The Ice Kill icon does appear in the Iceland mission. Don't know what game the other guy was playing.

Great

poor graphics and dodgy gameplay

Ok good game good condition

Excellent value for money

Double agent is by far the weirdest splinter cell game to date in the franchise. The story is decent but if you're in it for the game-play and fun combat, would recommend blacklist instead. This game is prone to bugs, glitches, in one scene I jumped into a cargo hold where an auto save point was featured and ended up loading again and again into the same death scene. Managed to get pretty far, but got stuck on the cube puzzle. Stick to the splinter cell trilogy or get blacklist instead.

Having recently played and completed the splinter cell trilogy on the PS3, I was now completely hooked on Sam Fisher games. The first 3 games were simplistic, original, challenging without being too difficult and most of all, they respected thier target audience. As soon as I heard that Splinter Cell double agent was out on PS3, I just had to buy a copy.How I wish I hadn't bothered.This game is a complete mess, while the story line and voice work are as good as ever, the controls are attrocious, I have lost count of the amount of times I have tried to climb, walk or open doors, when the camera angle has spun in such a way, that you can't see anything but the back of Sam Fishers head or the inside of a wall. Game characters frequently judder, float in thin air or just completely spaz out for no reason.The graphics for a PS3 game are not much better than the PS2 games it follows and the frame rate often sticks, jerks and freezes.This whole game is supposed to be based around stealth (being quiet, using the light and dark and sneaking up on enemies undetected) The big problem here is, on some occasions, you can be sat in a dark corner, completely invisible, and yet a guard will spot you from half a mile away, trigger an alert and begin shooting. Yet in some parts of the game, you are in complete light and out of cover and an enemy will walk straight by you, without any clue that you are there. The A.I is awful.The sound often lags behind what is actually going on in some parts of the game, which is also really annoying.Some of the puzzles in the game are just ridiculous, some are so easy it's almost pointless them being there, whilst others are so uncompromisingly difficult, that they're borderline impossible. One such "must do" task, is that you get told to decrypt a computer file, which brings up a large cube, each cube face has 4 compartments, which have different sets of zero's and ones in them. Your task is to cover the entire cube in these numbers making sure you don't have any of the zero's and ones in the same lines or columns around the whole cube.Now I have done sudoku puzzles in the newspaper for competitions which are highly complex and massively hard to complete. This puzzle in Splinter Cell is harder than ANY sudoku puzzle I have ever tried to do. It renders the game almost uncompletable and there's no way of progressing further without completing this task. Maybe the odd member of Mensa will find this challenge fun, the rest of us average intelligence people, will no doubt have to give up on the whole game and play something else. Honestly, did the game testers even try to do this puzzle?All in all this is the WORST game sequel and the WORST Tom Clancy game I have ever played. It's lazy, poorly tested, slow, unambitious and in places it's downright tantrum inducing. If you like Splinter Cell games or any of Tom Clancy's other games (Rainbow six vegas, Ghost Recon etc) then avoid this one. It's an insult.

Great game.
