The latest addition in the Splinter Cell series may not be the best, but its new innovations make it a worthy pick up.
One of the new features of the game is that you now have a trust meter. Doing objectives for a certain organization will obviously boost the trust you have for them. However, if you fail objectives for that organization you will loose trust, and when the trust meter is all the way down. You fail the mission.
You also are given more hard choices in the game. Like for instance, you will be given two different sets of objectives. They each will be for a different organization. In most cases you cant do all of them. So you need to decide what role you are going to play. You must decide if you are going to play the good guy and to the correct objectives, or if your gonna do the terrorist objectives and gain more trust for them. It at times can be tough to decide which you are gonna do. But just for a tip, do the objectives of the team you have the lest trust with. That way you will be sure not to run out of trust for any certain team.
When it comes to how difficult the game is, Splinter Cell Double Agent is the same as the others. And in case you wondering, that means that the game is very hard and at times frustrating. I found the first mission in particular to be very hard and frustrating. It almost caused me to stop playing the game all in all. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to you, because after that level the game isn’t as hard and is very enjoyable.
Well what it comes down to is that Splinter Cell Double Agent is a very fun game, but at times get to frustrating and can cause you to say some things that you don’t necessarily want to say. But I guess it is all for the challenge. The games new features are defiantly for the better. They bring even more challenge to the hard game. Those are some of the reasons why I give the game play in Splinter Cell Double agent a superb 9 out of ten.
Now the graphics, though great, I was disappointed by. Now don’t get me wrong, they are great. But they weren’t as good as I was expecting them to be. They were but a small upgrade from the current generation Splinter Cell games. If the Xbox 360 version of the game was on the current gen systems, than they would be absolutely astonishing. They are great, but not what you would come to expect from a Splinter Cell on a next generation system such as the Xbox 360.
The lighting is very good in this game. It is almost as good as the Xbox 360 has to offer. The shining effects in the game are simply astonishing in Double Agent. You are probably thinking “Light, in Splinter Cell?!?” Yes yes, most of the game is played in the light quite surprisingly. This is surprising since the previous entries in the Splinter Cell series have basically played in all dark. But this game is different. The face details in the game are also very good. They look like almost real faces for the most part, and you don’t see faces much in this game. But when you actually do they look very well.
So it is obvious that Splinter Cell Double Agent has very good graphics. But they didn’t blow me away like I expected them to do. Don’t get me wrong, they are very good with the good lighting effects in the game and the great face details. But it just didn’t meet the high expectations I had for it. Therefor the graphics get a solid Eight out of Ten.
The sound in Splinter Cell Double Agent is quite good as well. Just like every other Splinter Cell game. The gun fire in the game sounds legit ament. It sounds exactly like the gun sounds would in real life today. Well, as always there is not much more to talk about when it comes to the sound.
So the sound has legit ament gun sounds and also has amazing voice overs and just has an amazing sounds in the environment. Which is why the sound gets a superb 9 out of ten.
So what it comes down to is that Splinter Cell Double Agent is yet another great Splinter Cell game. It has great gameplay with new innovations and things that make it even more fun. It has very solid graphics with great lighting effects. The awesome sound with the great voice overs and the legit ament gun noises. It comes down to the fact that The latest addition in the Splinter Cell series may not be the best, but it has a few new innovations to make it a game that is definitely worth a pick up.
