    A finicky port of a great game which is still good, but if you're a Splinter Cell n00b, you're wasting your time. And Sam's. And he's a guy you really don't wanna cross. [Feb 2007, p.66]

    The storyline, which is actually one of the best in the franchise, can’t make up for level design that feels boring and controls that frustrate.

    Not as bad as I feared, not as good as I'd hoped. I find some features, such as camera control, more intuitive than even the 360 version. Other functions don't hold out so well.

    Splinter Cell: Double Agent on Wii is definitely workable and even enjoyable, but you've got to work for it and and that may turn a lot of people off.

    Very under-rated game. The controls take a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it is fine. Graphics could be better but its still good. A must have game.… Expand

    I was expecting the worst when ordering this game for £1.50 and was very pleasantly surprised. The graphics were nothing on the HD games but they were good enogh. The controls were actually decent. When I was looking at the instruction manual, my heart was slowly sinking as I saw nunchuck was to jump and hide behind cover. However, I got used to them through sheer perseverance and got the hang golf them. It was a nice experience, after playing three games with barely any story line to finally have a story to match the gameplay. All I am annoyed about iis the fact that this was ported from last gen consoles because ubisoft couldn't be bothered to make the next gen one for it.… Expand

    Lo peor que le paso a este juego fue el apartado técnico: el sonido tal vez no sea tan malo, pero gráficamente es un retroceso enorme para la saga. La jugabilidad es excelente una vez que te acostumbras, y la historia es tambien muy buena. Un título que ningún hardcore dueño de una Wii debería perderse.… Expand

    THE GOOD: Well, it's still a Splinter Cell game. THE BAD: The controls. THE ULGY: The graphics. This is the worst Splinter Cell game I've played and it is one of the few games that I regret buying. Oh god, do I regret spending money on this. The controls are the worst part by far, but the graphics are about as equally bad. I know that the Wii isn't known for graphics, but come on. It being on the Wii is no excuse for ugly graphics.… Expand
