tough stealth game

this game requires a lot of stealth so for shooting/killing action it is pretty slow. i do like the strategy element of figuring out how to use the shadows and the technical equipment to avoid and distract the enemy. this is not a fast play game but if you have time you will enjoy choking out a lot of bad dudes. enjoy

Splinter Cell: D&A, great game but Sam's getting rusty.

Oddly enough for a Splinter Cell game, the control interface felt very clunky and awkward. Sam was nowhere near as fluid in DA as he has been in past titles. I couldn't even pull off some of the signature stealth moves like hallway splits. This series entry went more for "Hitman" style action. Which was still great, just different than expected and hoped for. Also the camera angle seemed uncomfortably close-in, making planning difficult for me personally.

Game difficulty was a bit uneven. Even on easy mode, there is an unforgiving learning curve and unbalanced enemy AI with amazing detection abilities. Despite many controller throwing impulses, the final levels are very rewarding but with a few "WTF?" moments on plot development, which I won't spoil. Let's just say that I blew up a lot of stuff and stabbed more than my share of terrorists. Definitely worth at least your weekend rental!

On par with previous titles in the series

This is on par with previous titles in the series. But, this is slightly better in that, you can play it multiple times without getting old since what objectives you do and chose not to do effect the game. For example, I just finished playing for the first time and I framed Enricka for the bomb not going off and didn't kill Lambert at the end so I got the best possible ending. When I play it again I can let the bomb go off or stop it and not frame Enricka, and so on and so forth.

awesome game...

what are the other reviewers smoking? maybe it is different from other splinter cell games...i'm not sure, i played part of one SC game previously and i didn't like it at all. but i loved this one. it's not an overly long game, but it's very well done. the graphics are great, the story's pretty good (except for some ridiculous predictable politically correct terrorists). all in all this is a fantastic game.

Good Game...but flawed

I felt like this game was a lot of fun, actually beat it 3 times. I won't go into the good and the bad since everyone else here has sumed it up. However, the game tends to freeze and the loading times are long...even on the 360!

Solid fun and intense excitement

First a confession, I never played a SC game before Double Agent. I don't know why I didn't, but I didn't. I've seen a lot of reviews comparing them and I can't speak to that. This is totally a newbie's review.

I thought the game was really good. Every mission had a multitude of way to complete it. The voice acting was great, especially Michael Ironside. The storyline was interesting. The missions were very varied and the graphics were really good.

My only beef is with the nature of the game in spirit versus execution. You're supposed to be a spy who goes in covertly, steals stuff, kills guys, and various other sneaky things. That's great. I love games like that. (the Thief and Hitman series come to mind) But SC:DA doesn't really make you do that. With the exception of a few key characters you can go in guns blazing and bring the house down. There are consequences for this but it doesn't feel real enough. If you're going to the trouble to create such great openended missions, the consequences of your execution should also be equally well crafted. I just wasn't feeling that.

Besides that, the game was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to fans of the genre. Go ye forth and spy.

Oh, Sam, you're my hero

Sam Fisher returns again to wreak havoc on the enemies of the United States; this time he's working behind the lines as a double agent. He's got to protect the good guys and his cover at the same time. Do you have what it takes?

Enjoyed this game thoroughly; the back story is an excellent and integral part of the action, and the game lives up to the expectations set by its predecessors. Can't wait for the next in the series!
