    This is a true classic, and a beautifully made one at that. Rediscover Splinter Cell all over again, and we promise you, there's no way this cracker will stab you in the back.

    Prowling the shadows in search of your next victim has never been more fun, thanks to the plethora of gadgets and maneuvers at Sam's disposal. However, the online multiplayer modes leave much to be desired.

    Double Agent is fun, exciting, intense, and definitely a great send-off title for the classic Xbox. What it lacks in 360 visuals it more than makes up for in substance and gameplay and that is what ultimately counts.

    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.

    Chaos theory had a monkey looking Sam Fisher with his crooked eyes, somehow incomplete levels, Horrible voice acting( people in Russia or china or wherever don't just speak English with some strange accent...) boring storyline and idiotic ending (with Sam and the other folks from echelon laughing together like retards... But Double Agent has none of those weaknesses that made me hate CT. Perfect game, 10/10… Expand

    This game is very simmilar to Chaos Theory and I say this as a good thing. It has the sme kind of physics system and ai and gameplay that made CT so great. Yet it inovates enough with it's storyline and missions that it is an entirely seperate game. The trust meter is a welcome addition and keeps you thinking about your choices. Maybe the Splinter Cell series do not need to undergo changes in order to stay fresh. This game is the kind of game that Sam Fisher was created for. I salute the last great Xbox game.… Expand

    8.5 not quite the best splinter cell ever. In my opinion the best splinter cell would be the 1st one then chaos theory, then double agent, and the least like is pandora tomorrow. You may have heard about the trust meter in the game between john browns army vs. echelon. Gaining trust from either side seems exciting at first but eventually looses the appeal after finishing the game siding with jba, and then siding with echelon on the second playthrough. The game pretends to give you choices but the main objective forces sam to choose the side of the mission, thats not good in gameplay perspective. A game that allows you to choose sides are Deus ex and knights of the old republic and double agent isnt one of them. The big difference in choices are ability to change the ending, double agent doesnt allow any change. So whats the point of giving choices at all , if you cant have changes at the ending. Ripoff from tv show alias and 24. The gameplay is really getting old, shooting out lights, using ocp to temporarily shut the lights out, sneaking behind enemy soldiers while walking in complete darkness just to mock them. Sam may need some mighty new ideas to keep the series interesting for veteran gamers.… Expand

    Double Agent is ok but is does not feel like a Splinter Cell game anymore. I mean the swimming is great and I like the exploding sticky cam. I do not like the traffic light system when you hidden, I preferred the old style where you can see when your approaching vulnerability. When you fire the camera, exit out you can go back in like you could in Chaos Theory. Too many day light levels, I mean OK one or two but Splinter Cell is not about that, I like to be stealthy and have the darkness on my side and use that to wipe out enemies and hack computers with no one knowing your their. The JBA HQ levels are bowing walking around talking to people and scanning for prints, it… Expand
