9.0 Presentation

High production values create a thick, heavy atmosphere and a rich in-depth storyline. Yes, a real storyline. Excellent interface, objective pages and menus.



9.0 Graphics

This gorgeous game is layered with multiple textures, special effects, and slick animations. It delivers 30 FPS with occasional drops in both single and multiplayer modes.



9.5 Sound

Excellent sound effects coincide with the dynamic soundtrack. There is surprisingly worthwhile dialog.



9.0 Gameplay

Sharper AI and more NPCs help to create a tighter stealth game. A wide variety of levels plus branching storylines equal great Splinter Cell.



9.0 Lasting Appeal

The single-player game is about 8-10 hours; but you' ll want to play it again. The 3-on-3 MP mode is more accessible than Chaos Theory' s co-op mode and is progressively more fun.



9.0 Outstanding OVERALL

I might get Double Agent for my poor old Cube. It has been a long time since I got a game for it.

I called like 8 stores they all said they will have it tommorow, so Im buying it first thing in the morning.

It' ll be interesting to compare it to other reviews, & see how it matches up. Ofc, it' ll be more interesting to actually have it in my hands, but untill that time.

Do you not have a 360? I wouldn' t spend real money on a meh Double Agent port. I' m just going by the fact that all the other ports have played like garbage compared to the original.

I just want something to use on my new 7.1 audio system, since I sold all my 360 games and have like 3 PS2 games with crappy audio, and I' ve had $80 in credit at gamestop for like a month.

Off topic, but is there any huge difference in sound quality between 5.1 and 7.1? I know certain things, (stuff coming from the rear) sound better in 6.1 & 7.1, but I want to know if it' s a big enough jump to warrant the extra cash.

Im hoping it will ship for me tomorrow :) so ill have it thursday! probably wont have time to play it though, damn garden work!

You will be playing upconverted 5.1 audio (converted to 7.1), which sounds alot better than regular 5.1 audio, atleast until 7.1 movies/games start coming out, I dont know of anything that can do real 7.1 except for bluray which I don' t have.

I' ve tested it by turning off the middle speakers which makes my reciever go to 5.1 mode, then turning them back on which sets it to 7.1 and it deffinetely sounds much better in 7.1, but again its not real 7.1 audio so I imagine if you have a 7.1 source it will sound much better.

Alright, thanks. I' m not sure when I' ll be able to buy a good sound system, but when I do, I' ll probably go the extra mile for 7.1

The main difference is that there' s not such a big gap between front to back transitions, with 5.1 sound feels rectangular (atleast in a large room), with 7.1 its like a circle of sound coming at you from every direction.

nice score.
