This is possibly the best Splinter-Cell out today. It has all of the cool gadgets in the older games and includes really top-notch new ones. The graphics are polished, and the storyline feels better. You actually receive your mission orders in realtime in the mission, not before it!

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!

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.
