* Discover the tension of being a double agent: Use actual tactics employed by today’s real-life double agents to sabotage the terrorists’ plans.
* Explore a branching storyline with multiple endings: Your choices have an impact on how the story and game play unfolds.
* A world of international espionage: Missions from all over the world, from Asia to Africa to the heart of the US. Experience extreme situations: underwater or in a sandstorm, hiding behind the dust or smoke – and even skydiving.

* Innovative online play: The critically acclaimed multiplayer action of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is back with entirely new innovations for each platform.
To quote the video review: “In all, Double Agent has a meaty single-player campaign that’s far more unique than prior games in the series, and tried-and-true multiplayer that will keep the disc spinning in your 360 for months.
Sam looks amazing in the next-generation, and the good news it that Double Agent has the gameplay to match. Choosing your own path through the adventure will ensure different experiences for each player, and the multiplayer options are robust and addictive. If the trial-and-error aesthetic turned you off in the past, not a whole lot has changed in that regard, and the series becomes increasingly less accessible for new players with each entry. But Double Agent is an unforgettably tense experience no stealth fan can afford to miss.”
