2/5 ★ – DirtyMidnighter's review of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
This game goes straight from the title screen into lengthy load screen into some lock picking minigame into another lengthy load screen into cut-scene in a way so sloppy that you can't help but assume this thing was compromised to hell to get it running on a PS2. To be fair, that's MY bad for trying to play a cross-generation Ubisoft release this late into the next-gen lifecycle but why even release the thing? It reminds me of Guitar Hero 4 on the PS2, another game made unplayable due to absurd load times. Well I guess I'm the fool who stuck around to the finish of this one for some reason. I recall really REALLY wanting to fork over the cash for a PS3 at this point. This is where my Splinter Cell love ran out.
