Splinter Cell Double Agent isn't a bad game. But on the PS3, it stinks due to lots of frame rate issues and no quicksave
At first, everything works perfectly! Not so much lag, no long load times...
But then when you're about 1/3 in the game the issues start appearing and make you wish you never had spend money on it. The framerates get very low (2-3 per second), the loading times get very long as you need to use a "broken" quicksave feature which means go to the menus and then quicksave each time you want and that makes you loose 40 seconds of your time each time...
And I have a crappy PC, I've played games with low framerates. But this game on the PS3 is the worst. I get even less frames than Crysis running on my crappy 128mb videocard!
The game can be fun, but it is not realistic at all. The graphics aren't as good as people say. Everything is dark so you can't really enjoy the great graphics. And you don't feel like you're controlling your character and it's a trial and errors. Sometimes you don't know exactly what to do so you need to quicksave to not to lose your progress.
But that stinks that the PS3 version is crappy. I'm sure it's a very good game on PC, as it has quicksave as well as a good framerate.
There are some cool levels like in antartica, shangai, falling from a plane and the level design is OK. It's gameplay is fun but the low framerate in the coolest cutscenes ruins the experience.
Bottom-line: It's a game that is worth playing on a PC, don't bother getting it on the PS3. Everything is OK about it except the framerates and the long loadings. But those two things make the game awful and not making you willing to finish it. It's even more badly ported than the orange box for PS3 by EA london. At least I learned something: I'll never buy a poorly ported game again in my life!
