Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent®

I have less shame in admitting to owning porn games in my library than I do with this game.

Splinter Cell Double Agent has two versions, and they are two completely different games. This version is called version 1, but given all its flaws, it shouldn't have been. And with all the flaws mentioned, I think this version was released far too early. In my opinion, Ubisoft Shanghai, which made Pandora Tomorrow, clearly doesn't have the talent of the main team, Ubisoft Montreal, the team behind the first game, Chaos Theory, and Double Agent version 2. It's far inferior to Chaos Theory, because it's a significant step backward in many areas. It's clear the game isn't finished. Regarding some of the technical problems mentioned above, someone who rushes straight to the end without thinking might not notice them, or only slightly, but for someone who goes for 100% completion on hard difficulty, it's likely to be a different story. There's no single "best" version of Double Agent 1; it's simply a matter of choosing the best one. And the best is the Xbox 360 version in backward compatibility mode on Xbox Series X/S or the Xbox 360 version emulated on Xenia Canary. Definitely don't play the PC or PS3 versions. The emulated version on Xenia Canary is very playable. The only issues encountered are a few very rare texture glitches (one to three throughout the entire game), one or two minor shadow glitches (again, very rare throughout the entire game), terrible anti-aliasing (which might be improved with an Nvidia card, but I'm not sure), a few rare framerate drops at certain points in the game, and some occasional audio crackling. You also need to increase the brightness either in the game or in the emulator settings because otherwise the game is far too dark. This version of Double Agent has always been my favorite, and I've only played the old-gen version once. But the next time I play it, I'll see if my opinion has changed because right now, the flaws are really numerous and glaring. It's not a bad game, it's actually quite good, but it has a lot of flaws, and these flaws greatly detract from the experience. It falls far short of Chaos Theory and its level of polish and quality. But it's still worth playing.

Honestly ps2 version is better than PC, many bugs, strange behavior of AI, unlogical moment in some moment, it's uncomfortable to play this game without any rages

The game REFUSES to launch without crashing... Only reason I have this game in my library is because it was in the Splinter Cell bundle back then when I bought it. If you're thinking about buying it on its own because you want to try all the Splinter Cell games then just don't... its not worth it.

Selling a game that crash ? cant leave a good rate on this. the game is great but 10$ to crash nope

достали глюки. бросил игру

Ahora veo porque odian tanto este juego, yo lo juegue en mi xbox 360, estaba haciendo mi recorrido por esta gran saga de sigilo, juegue todos hasta que me tocó este port mal hecho, que desastre, muchos bugs como los cuerpos que empiezan a moverse, enemigos que te ven en algunas zonas donde estás oculto, npcs como el Doctor aswat que nunca llega a su habitación para uno eliminarlo, puertas como la habitación de emile que no se puede abrir, las recompensas que desbloqueas por cumplir objetivos no te las dan y son útiles para hackear mas rapido, etc. llegue hasta la misión del cuartel parte 2 y no me dejó abrir la habitación de emile para conseguir los registros, lo voy a desinstalar porque así es imposible disfrutar el juego, este es mi favorito de la saga pero ya entiendo porque lo odian, no compres esto, creo que es mejor piratearlo o jugarlo en consola.

Si te corre es un milagro, si no sale mejor usar magia , ahorrate un baro con los clasicos splinter cell, el unico que si le dieron cuidado es chaos theory y muy ahuevo

I'm a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series. I have been for 20 years. I remember beating Chaos Theory and looking up what they had next. I loaded Splinter Cell's website and heard, "My name is Sam Fisher. I used to hunt terrorists. Now I am one." and I freaked the hell out! I was so excited. When this game first came out, I played it on Wii. I loved it. It played almost exactly like Chaos Theory, and the loyalty system made for replayability to see what would happen if you made different choices. It had a co-op mode so you could play with a friend, too. It was fantastic. So, why am I not recommending Double Agent on Steam? Well, that's because this is a completely different version. And a terrible port of that version too. The version on Wii, Gamecube, PS2, and the original Xbox is actually Version 2 of Double Agent, made by Ubisoft Montreal. Xbox 360, PS3, and PC is of Version 1, made by Ubisoft Shanghai. As the years passed, the concensus became clear that Version 2 was the better game, and I'm here to tell you that.... Yeah..... It is. Version 1 isn't inherently a bad game. They made a lot of changes. Some good, some bad. If you get the chance to play the Xbox 360 version, knock yourself out, but [b]DO NOT GET THIS GAME ON PC![/b] The PC release is buggy and prone to crashes, When I first played the game, none of the items I unlocked actually unlocked, although I think they patched that since. I'd check, but the game probably won't load. (EDIT: Nah, I checked. They did fix it, but you have to patch the game manually.) This version has only gotten worse on modern hardware, to the point that the ending will not load if you're playing in widescreen. I am dead serious. If you absolutely must play this game, I recommend playing Version 2. If you must play Version 1, I recommend getting it on Xbox 360, which is backwards compatible on Xbox Series. But if you have no choice but to play the PC version, make sure to install the 1.01 patch, the 1.02 patch, and the 1.02a patch, as Ubisoft never patched this game on Steam. Also, get ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix, which doesn't fix everything, but it helps at least a little. God help you.

At its core, it is, indeed, another Splinter Cell game. Not that there's a problem with that, but it is way more simple and more linear than Chaos Theory. Don't know how to feel about the fact the stealth is pretty much "seen/not seen" now. The game can be fun despite the differences in mechanics and gameplay... HOWEVER, this has somehow managed beat GTAIV and Saints Row 2 in being a terrible, terrible PC port. Where GTAIV and Saints Row 2 have gotten better with time (Mostly due to better hardware), Double Agent cannot as the main issue is that the port is a buggy mess, and as Windows changes, the game just gets worse. Its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hassle to even attempt fixing, because it seems as if every problem with the game is personally made to piss someone off and is different for everyone. I only recommend playing this game if you have the patience to even bother troubleshooting to fix it or if you plan on making making a definitive fix... otherwise, an okay Splinter Cell game isn't worth the hassle or the 10 bucks + 20 years of being broken.
