  • Summary: Veteran agent Sam Fisher is back. But he's never faced an enemy like this before. To stop a devastating terrorist attack, he must infiltrate a vicious terrorist group and destroy it from within. For the first time ever, experience the relentless tension and gut-wrenching dilemmas of life as a double agent. As you infiltrate a terrorist organization in its American headquarters, you must carefully weigh the consequences of your actions. Kill too many criminals and you'll blow your cover. Hesitate too long and millions will die. Do whatever it takes to complete your mission, but get out alive. Dual objectives to fulfill: NSA government agents and terrorists will each want you to accomplish opposing tasks at the same time. Discover the tension of being a double agent: Use actual tactics employed by today’s real-life double agents to sabotage the terrorists' plans. Explore a branching storyline with multiple endings: Your choices have an impact on how the story and game play unfolds. Missions from all over the world, from Asia to Africa to the heart of the US. Experience extreme situations: underwater or in a sandstorm, hiding behind the dust or smoke – and even skydiving. Master the latest weapons and gadgets used by NSA government agents in addition to black-market terrorist weapons. [Ubisoft] Expand

  1. New tactics, a well-delivered story, and, not to be overlooked, even better online co-op and competitive play not only make this the most intriguing game yet in the series, but easily one of the best games of its kind, period. [Holiday 2006, p.72]
  2. The best Splinter Cell yet and a top-notch stealth game. But Sam needs some new ideas to topple Snake. [Dec 2006, p.84]
  3. Completely different from Double Agent for the Xbox 360, this version features its own exciting stealth-action campaign, plus a solid new multiplayer mode and some great cooperative missions.
  4. Galvanized by the well-implemented trust management system, Splinter Cell: Double Agent proves to be another great game in this venerable series. By delving further into the character of Sam Fisher, Ubisoft manages to keep the series vital, much to our delight.

  1. The ps2 version of Double Agent is better then the other version's and it was the best Splinter Cell game.
    Chaos Theory and Double Agent(ps2
    version) are the best Splinter Cell games that ever made. Expand

    I havent played a game this good for a very long time. It features an awesome storyline and gameplay is very fast paced and keeps you on your toes always. I wish there were more games out there like this! Expand
  3. The Splinter Cell series has never disappointed me. His artificial intelligence is very good, their weapons are well advanced (same as previous games in the serie)...
    Anyway, you'll like this game if you like strategy games, but can be a bit boring if you just like action, because you'll probably go killing everyone without being strategic.

    The story is kind of boring it also seems like a sad state seeing how good the other spliter game i played, ( splinter cell: Pandora tomorrow) but I have to give it this it is much better then number one. I have not played splinter cell chaos Theory but I hope it is not as bad as this one. and If it is like number one then I would cry because the one before it ( Splinter cell Pandora tomorrow was so great. just don't get this game unless it is like a buy one get one free deal. then maybe if there is no better games and you already have Pandora Tomorrow and Metal gear sold 3 or 2 then get it for free.
