Splinter Cell has been known to push the envelope when it comes to sound, graphics and realism in gaming. This game attempts to bring the dilemas of life as a double agent but serves it half-baked. Most of this shortcomming can be contributed to poor character development. I did not feel the sadness and anger Sam Fisher felt when he lived with the fact that his daughter, Sarah, was killed. I did not come to know or admire the terrorists who I worked with, making it too easy to kill them in the end. Also, there were not a whole lot of situations where double-agent dillema presented itself.
However, the fact that there is a "trust system" and the stretch to put the player in the shoes of a Double Agent is commendable because this game is the first to do that.
The innovative Spies vs. Mercs Multiplayer is better than ever as it now has a much faster pace and keeps players to their main goals; spies are stripped of their weapons and are given higher athletic capabilities which focuses them to "infiltrate, steal, and run" and Mercernaries are given less of a need to use a whole arsenal of gadgets.
