negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well lots of people are speaking how this game does not work properly. After I installed the 1.02 patch from one of the guides game worked like a charm. I only had 2-3 crashes, everything else worked fine.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the inferior "next gen" xbox360 version of double agent and this game is a horrible and glitchy mess. Firstly you'll have to patch it with an official ubi patch which will simply swap some gamebreaking bugs and crashes with a different batch of bugs. Secondly this version of Double agent is piss easy as most of the locations will be linear and bland corridors with enemies as smart as rocks with broken pathfindng and super xray vision. Even if you are a fan of Splinter cell games do…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Read the comments and thought people are exaggerating, couldn’t be more wrong. A really garbage port, you can use whatever workaround or patch/update you want, it does not fix it. Really bad AI on the PC port, bugs both visual/gameplay wise. The only “workaround” to play this game is to emulate the Xbox 360 version on your PC. The graphics are better, the AI ain’t that cooked as on the PC port and of course you have less bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Steam version hasn't received any patches, and the PC version of the game is bugged and requires mods to be somewhat playable. All that and it's not even that great a game, all screenshots and most of the video on the store page are from the PS2/Wii/Original Xbox version of the game, which is COMPLETELY different to this version, and arguably better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute garbage port made by disabled apes. Don't buy it under any circumstances, even with all the possible fixes and works like trash and keeps breaking down on you as you play. Better play it through an emulator, or V2 of it the same way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft should be ashamed and offer this game for FREE to those that want it until they fix this game. (Which they won't) Legitimately the MOST glitchy and broken game I have EVER played and it's not even particularly close either. This is straight up robbery. It's a shame because I actually would recommend this game if it wasn't so damn broken.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate myself for putting as much time as I have into this game. tl;dr the other reviews are right: stealth is worse, the game's been abandoned by Ubisoft, and even after you get it running there's a good chance it'll be a buggy, glitchy mess. Firstly, the game is clearly abandonware and a terrible port; it wouldn't even launch after installation (thanks Ubisoft). Spent forever troubleshooting, installing and uninstalling patches, and tweaking .ini files just to get it to start, only…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tested on Steam Deck OLED! The most troublesome Splinter Cell to configure on Deck and PC, but still worth the effort. At first launch, it tries to install old PhysX and Xfire software - cancel both and the game boots fine. No Ubisoft Connect here, which is refreshing. Same community controller layout as earlier entries works well. The challenge is stability: many graphical settings cause visual artifacts, so it’s best to edit the .ini file manually or run on the lowest preset. Once tuned,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the bundle for Conviction. This was included. Terrible port. Play the console versions or emulate. Also really needs controller support.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A disappointing entry that tries to do too much. The double agent mechanic is an interesting idea but never fully comes together. Feels like a step back from Chaos Theory in almost every way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just pirate this game. No joke, I decided to both buy AND pirate this game out of morbid curiosity. And the pirated version literally ran BETTER since it had the fan patches pre installed, whearas Ubisoft completely neglected this almost 20 year old game with broken AI and bad level design. Look, I want you to trust me that this game is just as bad as they say, worst PC ports of all time. HOWEVER, the game itself isn't 100% bad and has some nice moments, however due to this being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And so it kind of went to hell with the Franchise. For many reasons bit the biggest one is because Ubisoft needed a release for the new generations of consoles. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While the original team was already underway making it for the original Xbox, using the Chaos Theory version of the Unreal Engine (2,5) Strangely referred to as Version 2 of the game. Because it was released actually later than this next generation version, which is called Version 1. Which is kind of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No controller support, Bugs, Graphical glitches, Un-optimized mess, Loved this game on the Xbox but the PC version is un-playable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun but MAN is it not worth the trouble it takes to run this jawn. Having to set up the widescreen fix because the game would crash during auto saves and then having to delete the widescreen fix because some other game breaking issue takes place. Just go play Chaos Theory again, its better and never crashed on me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Double Agent was already a poorly designed, poorly made game as is on the Xbox 360, with it's nonsensical storyline, abandonment of the themes set up by the prior games, betrayal of the concept of a "SIGINT ninja", hilariously linear level design, terrible AI, a terrible upgrade system that fills your inventory with useless junk and caps out with terrible "Enhanced" Night Vision goggles that become pixelated as you move (and cannot be disabled through regular means), and a UI so cut down as to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst Splinter Cell Game and Bad PC Port (Where's is the Silencer on the SC-20K Model?!?!). Play Version 2 , its a much more polished and better game than this rushed Version 1. Version 2 90/100
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spent hours trying to fix the game via the ini files and it's just a mess. Managed to get the controller working and optimised but the game just won't have it... Constant crashes, graphical bugs, virtual memory errors despite 20GB GPU etc. Had to request a refund but due to the amount of hours spent trying to fix the game, the 2 hour refund time limit was spent in the FIRST LEVEL before I even got into the actual refinery! Game crashed on the crane and that was the final straw.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is NOT the version advertised in the screenshots. The Original ps2 and xbox origin versions were well written and almost bugless, this 360 faux mock up is awful, contains to many plot wholes, and in all honestly makes me sad it was ever created when the og version was better in everyway. DO NOT BUY if your like me and remember fondly playing double agent. This isnt the one you remember.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After over a decade I finally for the first time ever, finished Double Agent Not only is the PC version absolutely broken, with crashes all the time even with fixes, the gameplay is straight ass How did they manage to screw up everything that made Chaos Theory great and dumbed it down Level Design is usually really bad, some locations are pretty cool though. DO NOT BUY But if you must Get a console version The PS2 and PS3 version are both different from each other btw I heard the pre-gen…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the entire franchise on sale and decided to play through them all. This one, even with every fix on the web, is completely broken with crashes, failing to load, deleting saves, and physics glitches
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You probably have noticed that this game has very negative reviews on Steam. Are they deserved? Probably. The game is as broken as reviews are saying. Although, I've seen games with mostly positive or very positive averages on Steam that are way more broken than this one. So it's not too bad. For some reason, as expected from the Ubisoft the game on Steam is not patched. I'd recommend to download the 1.02 patch the very least for a much smoother experience. I managed to play the vast majority…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Knowing that this game is never gonna be fixed is sad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Underrated but not the better PS2/OG Xbox version. for those unaware ubisoft split devs to work on two different versions of this game, this one which is also the Xbox 360 version, and the older PS2/Xbox/GC version. OG devs Ubi Montreal (responsive for 1 and Chaos Theory) made the PS2 version, and Pandora Tomorrow devs Ubi Shanghai made the next gen version. pros: -solid story, almost same as the ps2 version: Sam infiltrates an American home-grown terrorist organization. you have to work for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have less shame in admitting to owning porn games in my library than I do with this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has to be the WORST port I have ever seen. Literally the buggiest mess you will ever see, Bethesda has been real quiet since this released... I loved playing this game on Xbox 360 and really hoped to have that feeling back when playing on PC..... my hopes and dreams are ruined. As I write this the game proceeds to not close completely and stays minimized... the amount of times I need to redo missions or even take half an hour getting past a 2 minute section is beyond stupid! Listen to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is a bugfest. I am giving up.It's a broken game even with patches constantly crashing,sounds and music cutting out,save files gone,AI broken.Ubisoft should be ashamed to even port this crap. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU BUY THIS!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't let you change graphics resolution. You're stuck playing with terrible graphics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has some of the worst stealth levels I've ever played. For some reason they thought that almost every level should be in the daytime. Actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And then they put you in an active warzone and blame you for civilian deaths. Over half the game is awful. All of the levels are completely linear with so much scripted BS. They designed no levels around the mechanics. Sound almost doesn't matter anymore, except when it does, but you can't tell because the geniuses took the sound meter…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ubisoft should hang it up they ass
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible PC port aside, the game itself lacks so much of what Chaos Theory did one game ago and cohesion as a whole it's absolutely not worth your time to get running properly. This is where the series quite literally lost the plot.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Add achievements + fix the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is broken. You cannot play it. I got stuck mid way on one level were it will not let you safe. ♥♥♥♥ this game, ♥♥♥♥ Ubisoft. It crashes so much I can't play for more than 5 min without a crash
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely broken on PC. Despite having installed all the recommended fixes and patches, there are still problems with mission objectives not completing properly, scripted events not triggering and problems with saving/loading. Even if all of that was fixed, this game is still very janky compared to the previous games in the series. Very disappointing...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even the worst title in the series is still more fun than Marvel Rivals
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →F for my homie Lambert.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only reason to play this is if you want to follow the story. Poorly optimized, unintuitive, dialed back on mechanics that already worked perfectly like the shadow bar, impossible to tell where you'll be in sight or where you won't because the lighting in this game sucks ass. Such a step down from the heights of Blacklist. I really hope it's just because they didn't care to patch this at all, and not because this game was this shoddy from the start when it came out. Oh, almost forgot, saves…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tryed so hard to see beyond all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you have to deal with. Installed patches, followed guides to fix it and nothing worked for me. You shouldn't need to do a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ to try and fix a game in the first place but this game is such a massive piece of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that even after hours i gave up trying to get it running. Ubisoft is the rotting corpse of the gaming industry and this is just one more footnote of their extreme incompetence. ♥♥♥♥ Ubisoft.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, PLAY IT ON EMULATOR! I'm a big fan of the series, but this port is HORRENDOUS, even with the available fixes - it still crashes and in unplayable state!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like the other reviews, this is a horrendous, unoptimized, buggy mess that is completely broken even with community patches. It is a non-functional product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME 1. The Next gen version of Double Agent is far inferior compared to the PS2/Xbox Old gen versions. Play the old version instead! 2. You will likely never be able to complete this game due to crashes and difficulties. Even with patches and fixes, still broken every mission. AVOID!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks man
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Double Agent takes the familiar stealth foundations of the series and places them inside a story built around deception, divided loyalty, and difficult choices. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, it follows veteran operative Sam Fisher as he undertakes an unusually dangerous assignment: infiltrating a terrorist organization while secretly working for the NSA. Rather than simply remaining unseen and completing a predetermined list of objectives,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a broken, buggy game, a parody of the first three parts. There are no dark zones. Stealth has been simplified to an icon on the character. The plot is nonsense. How they could make such a terrible game after the magnificent Chaos Theory is beyond me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very sad that the game received a lot of negative reviews on Steam, but this is entirely Ubisoft's fault, as it is an older game that has some really serious problems on modern platforms. It's one of the reasons why Pandora Tomorrow is just released as it's more buggy than Double Agent As a fan of the Splinter Cell franchise, I would recommend you give Double Agent a try. Here are a few things you can do to improve the experience: the game still lags even after all the patches have been…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT play the pc version!!! Absolutely broken. tried for hours to make it work, just a broken mess. Download an emulator and play the it how it was originally released.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This version of the game is so broken litteraly like other people say unplayabe. I've read the reviews before i made the purchase, i kinda knew what im getting in to but i thought after all those years they will be a few fixes online and i kinda gambled my 2 bucks but since it was on sale so there is no big loss. The fixes i mentioned earlier is basically downloading and installing patch 1.02a and the widescreen fix. They make the game barely playable you still get alot of crashes and the enemy…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to finish this game and complete the Splinter Cell Franchise, but unfortunately this game is so glitched and buggy. On the Shanghai Mission, I couldn't even move Sam Fisher in the beginning of the mission. I had to Task Manager Force Quit the game. Such a letdown and Ubisoft sucks hard for allowing this game to sell with how buggy it is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The port is broken unplayable mess and a scam, NOT NOT BUY IT.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, this port is TERRIBLE! I'm a LONG TIME Splinter Cell fan, been playing since the PS2 releases, as those are what I grew up with. That being said, I was finally shown the truth behind this entry, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, having 2 versions... Thanks to the likes of Critical Nobody on YouTube. Because of this, I found out that there was a version beyond the PS2/Xbox/GameCube/Wii version... So, as someone who has been waiting for Ubisoft to release a new Splinter Cell(IF they can before…
