Splinter cell double agent is an amazing game. The graphics is amazing not the best but a lot better than some other games I have seen. and shadows are good. Multiplayer is excellent on it aswell with its unique clan function which allows you to team up with your friends and challenge other squads over xbox live or the Internet. With co-op missions and Spy Vs Upsilon. The only real 4-5 problems I found with this game were. One: In multiplayer when you say put the hardness of the Upsilon Bots up to say 2-3 star. You just cannot hide they will see you whether hanging from a bar. Hiding in the shadows and even in a vent. Two: Some times there are small glitches where a part of your body will go through the floor or something. The Upsilon forces will then rip you to shreds without you Knowing what and where you where getting shot from.3: In single player when you are in a restricted area trying to hide from some JBA personnel sometimes they will just automatically turn round and see you... One more problem is the game is way to short with only 5-6 missions to do you can just easily rip through the game. In say 2 days. I only got mine yesterday and ive completed it. They have also tooken out some of the moves such as doing a back flip of a wall. You doing the splits while up a wall so you can hide in the darkness above a corridor. Some of the missions are great. But sometimes they are just strange. In one of the missions you sometimes get cornered into a small room and the enemy come rushing in so you have to let loose a full 30 rounds on them. But still they do not go down... But apart from those problems the game itself is remarkable. With its uniqueness as a spy game where its all about stealth not just grabbing a gun and blasting your way in there. The storyline is amazing as it talks about how your daughter dies so now you have nothing else to loose so you take on the most dangerous mission of your life. Becoming a double agent. At some points in the game you have to make life and death decisions. The trust concept is very unique as far as I now nothing like that has ever been done. If I could improve it I would have to fix all the problems I found up the page and make it longer also I would add some more skins to the multiplayer side of the game as you can only get six skins 3 for spy and 3 for upsilon. But to me they all look very much alike. Just one might have an extra dot on his back. Or not be bald. It can get quite frustrating at some points. But it is also very exiting when you have to figure out the puzzles. Now looking more towards the game online. I would rate 7 out of 10. It can get a bit boring as all you have to do is hack terminals then run it back to your drone. But it can also be very exciting. As you have to remain undetected and unseen through the mission say If u hack 50% of a file and you die by getting shot by a upsilon force member you would go back to 0%. You have a number of lives and also a time limit to complete your mission.
All in all I would have to recommend you getting this game despite some of the problem’s as it is an excellent game and should not be ignored by the everyday gamer.
