Where it falters is in the graphics department which not only fails to match the 360 version (because duh), it also failed to live up to the graphics of even Chaos Theory. That right off the bat makes it superior in very nearly every way. This plays nearly identical to Chaos Theory. I loved Sam's new diving suit, I loved the updated animations for vaulting things and climbing things as well as the updated "closer than ever" animation which just felt more natural and less overly exaggerated like CT and Ver. Graphics and animations were a huge step up. What we got was a half baked idea that just gets way too boring and repetitive all the time. JBA HQ mission begins interesting enough and seems kind of unique but if they were going to do something like it, they really needed to spend more time on it and incorporate aspects of games like Hitman. The two biggest offenders? The Auto-Lockpick, which quickly and automatically picks locks and thus completely cuts out an entire mini-game from the game, and colored Night Vision which does as it says and frankly, the night vision is always just so cool looking (I've loved every version from the straight up black and white NVG of the first two games, the pale green NVG from CT and Ver. 1 has an asinine progression system where the better you do, the more permanent unlocks you get and you can't revert back to previous versions without starting a new game.
There's something so satisfying about the animation. 1 introduced corner takedowns which were bloody amazing. And even though you don't have the classic goggles, you do get sunglasses that you can flip up and down which actually affect the brightness! But there's some really awesome spy moments from holding onto the underside of a truck as it's moving to Mission Impossible-ing down from the rafters on a cord to plant a device and having to then get back up before being seen.
Kinshasa gets a bad rap for being predominately outside in broad daylight. The final mission is decent and I actually like how it handles the main villain confrontation better than Ver. That said, the prologue is a good classic SC mission as is Shanghai which is probably my favorite mission from this version. It featured multiple daytime levels, levels without your gear, etc. This version pushed SC outside of its comfort zone which ultimately wasn't the best thing in the world but even while doing so, it still felt like SC, unlike say Conviction or Blacklist.
I've played both and they each have some cool things.
Both games are fun but one is significantly better than the other in some semi-objective ways and in some ways when it comes to purely loving classic SC. Version 1 is 360, Version 2 is Xbox/PS2 (looks like this was brought up in another comment thread). #SPLINTER CELL DOUBLE AGENT WALKTHROUGH PS3 PC#
So, is the PC version (Version 2) that much worse? Does a modded version of Version 2 exist to make it look and feel like Version 1 or something? I've gotten used to and grown to love the PC controls while playing through the first 3 games, and this sudden switch would feel unnatural.Īlso, I wouldn't be able to tweak the game to work with widescreen, get better FOV and other stuff that I did with the previous games to make them look as pretty as possible. I don't own a console but I guess I could play Version 1 on PC using an emulator like PCSX2, but playing it on a controller just wouldn't feel like a Splinter Cell game for me. Also people refer to version 1 as the "real" or "true" version and consider it better.

Which one do I play?įrom what I've seen the PS2 and Xbox version (version 1) is regarded as the canonical one, while the PC version (version 2) features different non-canonical plot and gameplay and is built on a different engine. Now I want to give Double Agent a go but I was surprised to see two different games were made for consoles and for the PC. Loving the games so far, with the first one and Chaos theory as contenders for my favourite. I recently started the Splinter Cell franchise on the PC and I just completed Chaos Theory.
