Splinter Cell Double Agent takes what was great about the previous games in the series and builds on it.
The gameplay in SCDA ( SPLINTER CELL DOUBLE AGENT ) is alot alike other games in the series, mostly like chaos theroy but brings alot new to the table. You are more free to use your weapons, but don't take this game as a run and gun shooter it's still a stealth game and a great one at that. The AI is alot smarter, they'll run away and take cover, attack you in groups and what not. The normal difficulty is probobly the best choice, it's not too easy and it's not to hard, it's just right. Graphics:
The game look fantastic. The player models the lighting, everything looks great. The only thing about the game that isn't that great about the graphics are the animations, they reuse alot of the animations from chaos theroy. One supprising I would like to mention is that almost everysingle one of the levels takes place in the day time, there are almost no missions that take place at night. This makes the game look alot better because you don't have to use the nightvision goggles, in chaos theroy you had to have the night vision turned on all the time which made the game look green.
Sound:
The game sounds great. The voice acting is hot and sound affects are awesome. But the best part of the sound is the musics that pumps up when your in trouble, it's off the hizzle.
Value:
The game offers a very good value. The game will take you around 8-10 hours to beat on normal difficulty and then you can go at it again on hard and that's where the real challenge comes into play. The online play is great, it's alot easier to pick up and play than chaos theroy. The only thing that im upset is that they took out the co-op play, I loved it in Chaos Theroy and I was sorely dissapointed to see it go.
Tilt:
The game is all kinds of fun. Theres an all new story which is very indept and interesting . You work for the NSA like you usually do but this time your working under cover for the JBA which stands for Jon Browns Army. Theres a whole new trust system in the game which means that if you go too deep undercover and give up on the NSA, they'll pull you from the mission and if the JBA finds out that your working for the NSA they'll give you the boot and it's game over.
Overall:
Overall if you've likes Splinter Cell games in past than you've got to pick this one up and if your new to the series this is a great place to start.
