The result is sweaty-palmed fun, teaming the adult joys of a well-paced thriller with the childish delight of playing hide-and-seek in the dark.
Double Agent is fun, exciting, intense, and definitely a showcase title for the visual elegance of the 360, but if you want a fully fleshed out story, extended levels, more dialogue, and an overall richer Splinter Cell experience, I’d have to recommend the original Xbox version over this.

Ce Splinter a su évoluer de manière intelligente après les 3 premiers opus : l'histoire est bien menée, les choix à faire parmi les objectifs sont très intéressants et donnent un côté épique à l'aventure. L'infiltration est toujours reine (même pendant les nouvelles phases diurnes) et les mini-jeux de piratage sont un vrai plus, de même que la possibilité de sauvegarder quand on veut !
Techniquement c'est du bon travail : beau et plutôt fluide (nonobstant quelques ralentissements ici et là...), excellente VF, superbe musique. On peut juste déplorer un level design parfois moins inspiré que d'habitude et quelques scripts énervants mais rien d'inquiétant. Double Agent demeure sans équivoque le meilleur Splinter avec Chaos Theory.

By giving players a real incentive to be the stealthy super-spy, it's opening the game up to being what it should have been. And by wrapping it in a memorable narrative and giving Sam Fisher the ability to be evil, you actually start to care not only about your actions, but the characters in the game too.
Excellent as it is, it fails to match the impossibly high standards set by "Chaos Theory." [Dec 2006, p.96]
It provides plenty of glorious visuals, the audio is top-notch and the missions are pretty damn fun.
The double agent element gives the game a slightly unique feeling, but at times it's hard to shake the thought that you're playing a Chaos Theory expansion pack; albeit a very attractive one.
While single player offers enough to keep things new, the same cannot be said for multiplayer.
The single player in the 360 version of this game is very lackluster. Having played and beaten both I'm not sure what happened when they brought this to the 360, plot holes and at somes points full levels/missions are nowhere to be found. The upside to this game is its multiplayer, Spy vs Merc is different to the majority of shooter multiplayer games with only one team having a gun, but learning to use the spy and being able to get so close to a merc that you can snap there neck without them even noticing you there is something you have to experience. Im giving this a 6/10 for singleplayer and a 10/10 for multiplayer.

An enjoyable stealth romp. Shares alot of the same issues as its og xbox counterpart but alot more polished. Although it also suffers from its own issues like the lack of a HUD for example. But at least this one has an actual somewhat coherent plot so there's that i guess.

Splinter Cell Double Agent ,has by far the best story in the franchise and Sam Fisher that you play as being both the NSA and a terrorist in John Browns Army is absolutely enthralling, The choices you make feel more emotionally driven in the narrative than logical and thats pretty darn rare to find in any game. the premise alone and the fleshed out story makes double agent worth playing but its not without its flaws, the mechanics/controls is its biggest flaw and maybe its only an issue for the 360-ps3 port, its just very clunky at times and has less refined game play than chaos theory nonetheless its still a fun game to play but in general it didn't feel very cleaned up mechanic wise. and the multiplayer is unique and also fun but also could've had a little more to it. In conclusion Splinter Cell Double Agent is my favorite Splinter Cell story out of the whole series but game play wise it can fall short and under perform at times, but if you are a fan of the franchise or stealth espionage i would highly recommend this game to you. i would give it a mid to high seven. 7.4-7.7

The Splinter Cell series reached it's peak during chaos theory, the level where you rob that bank, since that point the series has been in decline with a tried and tested formula that was getting stale but double agent was the last in the series not to hold your hand all the way through, using one button techniques for taking enemies down from the opposite side of the room. Although the controls are old school the story is poo and playing as a double agent you don't really get the Sam Fisher experience with all his gear and traditional attire and having to return to a hub level over and over slowed the pace of the game and gave a real sense of boredom and pointlessness. It does look nice. Overall Double Agent is the best Splinter Cell game on the 360 and would be a good experience if you haven't played one before but falls way short of the heights of the first 3 games.

Disgustingly bad and obviously rushed. This game contains massive plot holes and about half of the missions are segments where you do undercover espionage in the same level. The levels are timed so even if you complete the objectives you can be left sitting for 20 or so minutes waiting for the timer to run out. The night vision has some weird look to it that makes it difficult to see. My biggest issue is the expert mode. It's not too hard, but the guards seem to be able to track you in most levels no matter what you do, how dark it is, or how quiet you are. The multilayer is also a huge disappointment. There is no spy vs merc death match or coop. The spy vs merc works like a sort of capture the flag. It's pretty impossible to kill a merc since they have a motion tracker that beeps louder depending on how close a spy is. So all they have to do is turn around when they hear it beep its loudest and put a round through your face. If you want more splintercell pick up chaos theory or the original xbox version of double agent. This game gets a 2 because sam can now throat chop people and it makes me giggle.
