There are actually two separate versions of Double Agent. One version (Generation Seven version) was made by Ubisoft Shanghai, was released on the PlayStation 3. The other version was Generation Six version . The games share the same general plot but feature different storylines, plot twists, and levels. Even the levels they share have completely different level designs. They do however, share the same background music and a few cut scenes.
Features
- Fisher is given objectives from two separate parties, the JBA and NSA, sometimes forcing the player to choose between them in order to progress.
- Due to the fact he is "working" for two different organizations, Sam is faced with several choices in the game that affect his trust with the JBA and the NSA, represented by the "trust meter". Trust on either side affects Sam's weapon arsenal: completing NSA objectives will unlock a high-tech arsenal, while completing JBA objectives will unlock a lower-tech lethal arsenal.
- A non-linear storyline that changes based on the objectives the player completes (those of the JBA or NSA).
- Multiple endings are introduced.
- The lock-picking mini-game returns and a new bomb defusing game is introduced.
- Both versions have the same characters.
- Online play (except Wii and GameCube versions).
Generation Seven version only
- Two alternate single-player missions, eight all-new merged versus and co-op maps and interactive cutscenes.
- Daylight missions, in which Sam does not have his goggles. Also, in the regular areas of the JBA HQ, Sam's only maneuver is walk.
- It includes a simple three-state (hidden/exposed/alert) stealth meter, as opposed to the past light and sound meters.
- The PlayStation 3 version includes an, as of yet, unnamed female Splinter Cell.
- The computer hacking mini-game returns, and new mini-games are featured that include decrypting e-mails and defusing bombs.
- A new type of level, where Sam has a little less than a half-an-hour to complete multiple objectives. He can choose what order to do them, and does not have to do all of them. The more objectives are done for one side (or both sides), the more trust is received.
