When I first played Double Agent, I was thinking 'this is gonna be just another sneak around cut throat, snipe from a distance' kind of game, but no I was wrong. What these other people fail to realize within their reviews, Is that this game was ment to take on a whole new approach, to test things out a little. This wasn't ment to be just another sneak around game, this was to give you the feel of going over enemy lines and trying do your job as an agent, but at the same time keep your cool with the terrorists no matter the cost, but I found that the camera even though I could control it, would some times bug out on me and go through a wall. However I did find the game play to be fun and realistic, what other game could you walk into a tiny room with four guys with one chained up, and shoot the prisoner in the head! I mean come on, you don't get that kind of realism in last gen's consoles, so that's how I know that this game was ment for next gen, plus the fact it 'DOES' still have that solid sneak around just incase you were begining to miss it some, also the story line has changed dramaticly. Sam loses his daughter and becomes a darker person, so within that he is able to do what he needs to do rather it be killing guards in a prison, or killing a prisoner themself. So it gives you kind of 'in depth' perception of what someone would be like, after such a huge loss like that. Also I gotta hand it to the makers for putting in such a humor level, you'll see quite alot of it within the Splinter Cell series itself, plus when on multiplayer missions you can turn the sound off and have a friend come over, doing some pretty funny stuff with your own voices and actions, such as one guy going to try and stealth kill someone, you can throw a snowball at that terrorist and make him turn around spotting the other player, setting that other player into a trap! Now that's some grade 'A' humor against your friend, unless you're the SERIOUS type. In which case you may just play through the game, In your own mind set thinking of what you would do in Sam's place, that's another thing! It gives you choices of what you want to do, or how you would do it. Something all the rest of the Splinter Cell series didn't really give you, so I say sure... Go out and rent it, If you like it then buy it!
