Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent

Also known as: Splinter Cell 4 [UK]

Old three eyes is back and it's all very familiar

While the PS3 is capable of so much more graphically, it’ll be pretty damn tough to find fault with Double Agent’s visual crispness. Because the lighting, weather effects and character animation are first rate, it’s almost hard to believe that this is a game that came out on Xbox and PS2 over six months ago ‘cause it looks so damn good.

The only significant new features in this version are Sixaxis control in some of the mini-games, two new multiplayer levels and a female spy skin for multiplayer. Double Agent is a little predictable as we’ve seen many similar puzzles in the prequels. However, there are some memorable new set pieces and a greater focus on storyline. Sam’s latest adventure is far from original, but we know better by now than to expect a revolution.
