Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Windows, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox)
common sense media says
Morality key to latest in adult stealth series.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this game is the latest entry in a franchise featuring surly NSA agent Sam Fisher. The series is notable for its use of stealth, lethal, and non-lethal attacks -- the players choose how violent their agent will act (the violent extremes are throat-cutting, sniper tactics, and throwing enemies to their death). Another moral aspect is a trust meter, which measures how your actions improve or undermine your relationships with the NSA and the terrorist John Brown's army.
Educational value:

A MUST BUY FOR AROUND MY AGE. i have the wii version not playstation
hi i am jake.
This is a really good game i have it on wii and its great the violence is all optional because you can simply knock the guard out. Its quicker and earier then putting your combat knife into his back or shooting him and making a loud noise. I am not sure about playstation but the wii has 2 player mode which you team up and do missions so fun.
The youngest recommended age would be 11 or 10 as there is 1 or 2 part where you have to kill someone but thats it. The launguage is fine for that age and they would here worse at primary or highschool.
MUST HAVE 10/10 RATING

A truly great game...
Although i bought this game for the Wii, and might be a little bit different from other systems, it's still basically the same stuff. There is only blood in one scene at the end, if you were bad in the game where he slits someone's throat(minimal blood). language not an issue, just the knife.

A Fun Game For 15+
This game is a great game.. you choose your path and your ending in this great stealth game. But the bad stuff about this game are: The intense action, you shoot,stab,choke, and snap enemies necks all the time in this game. The good stuff is that you can sometimes choose to just knockout ur foes instead of killing them. but most of the time you end up killing people the whole game. The Language, Not to bad there is some but not close to GTA 4 or anything else. So im giving this 15 and up because of the constant killing and blood.

Exhilerating
This is a great game. Like all other Splinter Cell games, this is a true nail-biter. The violence and salty language are the only issues. Lambert, Hisham, and Fisher all mutter a few bad words, but usually nothing more than "D**n" or "hell."
The Violence is for the most part not extremely graphic(bloodless shootings, KO punches...) but during certain scenes it can get pretty brutal (throat slicings, hiding sometimes bloodied bodies, hanging people with own hands, throwing people off cliffs...), you just need to remember that these are the bad guys. So Close to a TEEN rating if only they took out the blood and throat slicings! Social behavior is a plus because of the new feature: working on a team!
GREAT GAME!

Good game but violent in places
Its a good game with some interesting characters.
There are some decisions where you get to choose whether to execute a character which are not suitable for children (or adults for that matter!)

Great for the older crowd; Can't say the same for the kids
This game is really good. But, of course, it's not for children. I find this game to be rather tame even though it has an M rating. Yeah, you get your share of bad language and a good amount of violence... but that's why it's rated M, it's intended for mature adults. So if you're a mature adult, I'd definitely recommend you check it out.

Great Game:
I just started playing this yesterday and all i can say is: WOW! This game is awesome! it is quite violent but i have not seen any blood, surprisingly. The game lets you make choices about whether to support the bad guys eg. Crack a safe in the amount of time given to get "in" with them or you can go and bug the antenna on thier roof and support the good guys in the same time limit.

Very cool!
Making your own choices in games is old news, but this has a new twist: Choose who you want to be as a super bad guy, or a good guy. Multiplayer has been taken down a notch though, so don't be surprised if you fell like the rules have been changed dramatically. But still, the best in the sires is the one you need to pick up.
A more than perfect score.

Good game
Although this is a heavy and violent title, it has strategy and is actually quite tame in the blood and gore category.

great installment to an awesome series
I thought this was a really good addition to the Splinter Cell Family. The gameplay can be iffy as far as violence and what not. I say this becuase you have choices what to do in the game- be good or evil. Awesome game.

Awseom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that the Splinter cell franchise is one of the best out there. Since it the gameplay is written by Tom Clancy you don't have to worry about any pro terrorist sentiments. While you are able to slit some ones throat, think about it, these are terrorists plotting to kill Americans, do they deserve less? As a veteran of the splinter cell games, I've beaten all of them, I say that this game is fine and is the best one yet.

xbox 360 splinter cell double agent review
double agent for the 360 is a totally different game compared to the ps2 and xbox versions. I mean, the places you go to are pretty much the same and the story is kind of the same but, the levels are way different and u do totally different and awsomer things. but anyway, language-no f-words,a few s-words,d**n's,h**l's. so not too bad on swearing. blood- there is only blood on the 360 version when your swimming under some ice and u grab a bad guy above the ice, take him under water and stab him, but its not a lot of blood at all. This game is so unbelievable. so if u have a 360, get this NOW!!!!!! (some things u get to do that arent in the ps2 and xbox versions that are on the xbox360 version is: freefall out of an airplane, swim under water, play when it's daytime in the light, rappel not on a wall, but from a pipe, cut a hole in glass, rappel from a big skyscraper, there are 3 different endings depending if your good or evil, and you have the option to shoot Lambert. and theres probably some things i missed.
