I just bought a copy of Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the Xbox 360, I'd have to say that it's one of the best stealth games I've ever played. I really enjoy the "Trust" system, it gives the game a whole extra layer of depth, the option to save anytime is cool, too. One thing that could be better is the frame rate, it's constantly at like 45 FPS.
Just got Splinter Cell: Double Agent

I love the Splinter Cell franchise; really enjoyed Double Agent. It wasn't as good as Chaos Theory but there were a good few memorable moments. It's a shame you can to the party so late the online is really good. Don't know if it's lively at all these days.
You could have just made this a topic rather than a blog post....
I didn't like the whole trust factor in Double Agent,it just kinda ruined it for me.Splinter Cell:Pandora's Box is still my favorite stealth game of all time.
The three previous Spilter Cell games were great stealth games, Double Agent on the other hand is a prime example of how Ubisoft can fuck up a franchise.

This game is ok, not great. It is ok because it is not bad nor annoying, but the gameplay is kind of strange. In one level you had to steal some data from a vault, but the enemies were like a few meters away from you. It is impossible that they wouldn't hear you.
That kind of dumb stealth is that makes this game not so good. It is still pretty much walking on the shadows and you will be fine.
It'd good in someparts, but horrible in others. The 2nd level was incredible (where you have to climb through the office timed) but the ice level, mainly once you get actually on the boat, is awful.

That's interesting, this was the first Splinter Cell I played and I really enjoyed it. I gave it to my brother though and he thought it was just alright. I enjoyed the RPG-ness of dealing with the different factions. I thought the stealth mechanic was okay but was made better with all of the gadgets that you're given to stun enemies and shut off lights, etc.
"This is more a Twitter update than a blog post."Seriously, what is up with you people? Does it make you feel good to tell other people how to categorize their content? I usually just ignore comments like these, but video game message boards have become filled with people apparently stuck in the beginning stages of puberty who criticize anything they can.
Anyway, I had tons of fun with Double Agent. It got a lot of shit from people for various reasons, but it really is a fun game. Chaos Theory is still the best Splinter Cell, though, in my opinion. :)
I hated Double Agent because they took out the light and sound meter. A yellow/red light that determined whether you were in stealth or not just seemed so 2 dimensional.
I did like the trust meter though. They did bring up some good moments when you had to make a choice. And trying to be sneaky within the enemy's base while being a double agent? Oh man that made the game tense.
