Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Splinter Cell returns with an all-new story of double-dealing terrorists and uncomfortable moral decisions. Its greatest new feature though is its multiplayer, which continues to expand into the definitive online stealth experience.
Splinter Cell returns with an all-new story of double-dealing terrorists and uncomfortable moral decisions. Its greatest new feature though is its multiplayer, which continues to expand into the definitive online stealth experience.
The lowdown:
You can only imagine that Sam Fisher must get a good pension, because he doesn’t seem to have an easy life. This time his role as a double agent in a terrorist group forces him to constantly make difficult moral choices, from big set piece decisions on whether to execute hostages to simple choices in-game such as whether to help out civilians. Although there are few significant changes to the controls this time around, for once most of the game doesn’t take place in the dark. Stealth is still paramount though, especially since two onscreen trust meters track whether you’re still in favour with both the terrorists and the NSA. The terrorist base also acts as a sort of hub world which you keep returning to between missions and slowly explore and unlock as the game’s story unfurls.
Most exciting moment:
The expanded Spies vs. Mercenaries multiplayer game now has even less connection to the single player campaign, with the spies using only hand-to-hand combat and moving much faster than Sam Fisher. It now supports a total of six players at once and is one of the few online action games to offer a genuine alternative to the normal first person deathmatches.
Since you ask:
The next Splinter Cell game is subtitled Conviction and is due out some time next year. Controversially it has been announced as an Xbox 360 and PC exclusive only, with no PlayStation 3 or Wii versions currently scheduled.
The bottom line:
The best Splinter Cell yet, particularly in multiplayer mode.-HARRISON DENT

5.0 out of 5 stars
a great buy,
By Biggy P (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
This is the latest installment in the Splinter cell series and in my opinion the best. In many descision making games the player can feel detached from the actual game and so has no moral problem with doing bad deeds as it will also not effect the game in a massive way, but in double agent depending on what your actions are you will gain or lose trust from either the NSA (the secret government branch you work for) or JBA (terrorist group you are infiltrationg) and complete loss of trust of either party results not just in mission failure but failure in the entire game, there is no chance to redeem yourself later on, every decision must be carefully considered and so no rash descisions can be made, killing innocents: Nsa trusts you less/ JBA trusts you more, Let the innocents live: NSA trusts you more/ JBA trusts you less.
Despite this new angle the game has not lost the stealth factor that has made the series so popular. Primarily the missions are for the JBA but there are certain NSA objectives that can be carried out during the missson, such as contacting lambert (your NSA boss) using the mission location's communications equpment that you are supposed to be shutting down. The JBA also have, optional, secondary objectives such as assasinating a key figure, not essential to the mission but the action will gain you trust. As well as missions themselves there are semi-missions that take place in the JBA base. Here you are left alone for a certain amount of time to do a task for the JBA but often they give you way too much time, this is for a reason, during this time there are other objectives that you can choose to do, from the JBA and the NSA. The JBA objectives are often very simple tasks and are easy to complete and will gain trust from the JBA but the NSA objectives are entirely different, they often take place in a restricted area of the base meaning you have to sneak in and if you are caucht in a restricted area you will be either shouted at, told to leave and trust taken away untill you leave the area, or you are shot on site :-( The This new installment has a refreshing angle on a well established genre without losing it's appeal to old fans of the series. also the new trust system can have as bigger or smaller effect on gameplay as you like. I hope i was helpful. BUY THIS GAME NOW!!

Say hello again to your two old friends, Shadow and Darkness...,
By
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Another one of the Splinter Cell series with a slight difference. Sam Fisher is still there together with all his weapons and gadgets which are mostly the same as in the previous episodes. Suits vary a little, but in essence are still the same. Moves are still the same, enemy AI is still the same, so what's different?
Sam now has to play double agent, where his (your) actions throughout the game might have an affect on the two agencies you "belong" to. Without giving anything away the basic aim of the game is that Sam is sent by the NSA to infiltrate and join sides with a terrorist faction to get close to the criminal mastermind of the whole terrorist organization. Get caught while snooping around the terrorist base and you will lose their trust and or ultimately get killed. On the other hand, helping the terrorists reach one of their goals will not win you any friends at the NSA either. Other than this new "Trust System", better graphics, here and there a new underwater stealth kill move and one or two new gadgets, Splinter Cell: Double Agent has nothing new to offer. If you have played one of the Splinter Cell games before, you will be quite familiar with the controls. The game is again a bit short, like every other Splinter Cell game, but if you, like me, are a fan of espionage / stealth games then you will still thoroughly enjoy this game.

Brilliant game,

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I'd played an earlier version of this game on the PS2 and was really impressed. When I upgraded to the XBox 360 I just had to get Splinter Cell. This game is different though in that you can choose to be a bad or good guy. Although in reality you have to keep both sides happy so you have to mix up your loyalties. The game play is the same as the other versions I've played so you can get into it really easily. Overall a great game and addition to my Xbox collection.
