Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is a series of excellent stealth action game. National Security Agency’s secret agent, Sam Fisher travel around the world to different destinations. Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Splinter Cell arrives for the first time on the PS3. When it comes to high-tech spying and tense game-play, Splinter Cell is definitely recommended. This game gets its name as Sam Fisher has to work for two master, the NSA and militant group called John Brown’s army. You won’t find any difference in the basic moves and strategies in any of the games prior to double agent. As Ubisoft changes things a bit which now include a trust meter which indicates the trust of both the group on you. So you have to make the decision very carefully because you have to make both the group happy, but some times it not possible to do this and sometimes you have opportunity to make both the group happy.

In this game you can play as you like, you can get through a level without getting detected or raising alarm or you can sneak around the darkness and strike with silenced pistol or rifle, snap neck or use the knife or you can use your own creative ways to whack out enemies. It won’t take much time to complete single-player game, but the impressive multi-player game-play in which the team of three spies have to hack into computer terminals to steal secrets and to accomplish this they have no weapons but armed with high-tech gears. While the other team, the mercenaries heavily armed have to do everything to prevent spies to get the secrets. The nature of the map and differentiation of the spies from Sam Fisher makes the Double Agent multi-player better than the prior versions of Splinter Cell.

In the multi-player game, spies is play from a third-person perspective, while the mercenaries play from the traditional first-person perspective. When you play as a spy, you have stealth as your major advantage over the mercenaries. Though, you don’t have any weapons then also you can sneak up behind and choke them to death. On the other hand if you play as mercenaries, you are armed and you are faster than spies. Double Agent Multi-player is typical cat and mouse game.
