This is the exact moment the Splinter Cell franchise fell from grace. After a pretty impressive winning streak from the first game to Pandora Tomorrow to Chaos Theory, it all went to pot with this casualised entry that scrapped the fantastic stealth mechanics of CT in favour of something more watered down and streamlined. An increase in production values and a more cinematic approach to espionage wasn't worth the trade off.

Play the OG Xbox/PS2 version of Double Agent instead - it's a very different game to this and it's ace.
