I've played and finished Double Agent on the original Xbox, but am thinking about getting it for my 360..
I've read alot of peoples posts about how much different the story is, and the lack of..but what do you guys reckon? Is it really THAT much worse than the original Xbox game?
Is it worth the money?

forget about it the xbox version is much better probably because it was developed by montreal also you dont want to spend 25 minutes walking really slow in the JBA HQ missions dont buy its not worth it I wish I bought the xbox version

I say buy it, it's cheap now and it's like a completely different game.

Some of the missions are tough to get 100% on, but well worth it, like Kinshasa and Okhotsk. The challenges are a lot different than what the Xbox version offers and I enjoy playing both of them.

If Ubisoft Montreal had developed it for next gen consoles then there wouldnt be such a mess with ConViction but anyways i dont know dude id say dont get it the Co Op is really bad and so is the multiplayer all you do is download terminals it gets pretty annoying

Thxx for the replies

Sweet, thats basically all i want

What about the achievements for it? Are they lame, easy, hard?

they are really easy not really hard to get 1000 gamepoints there is one called the human light switch which is just using your OCP on 20 lights in the same mission

Some of them are easier than others.

The Human Light Switch one is very easy.

Completeing all the JBA profiles is kind of hard. Especially since, for example, the final part of Jamie's profile is in an area that is near to the end when you are going after Emile. If you are focused on going after him you would prolly go right past it.

The single player (campaign) aren't horribly hard to get, especially with all the locations for what you need given in these forums. The online achievements can take a lot of time to acquire, mostly getting the Gold on all the Coop challenges.

I've been reading a few people's posts about how almost the whole game for the 360 includes very slow and boring JBA missions. Not too keen on that, when I played the original Xbox version it wasn't that boring..

I dunno, i'll probably get it after I finish N+

Thxx for all your answers

I forgot to say there are missions which are in daylight time and there is very little shadow at all.

Absolutely. I'd just about buy it for the Shanghai mission alone...

Shanghai mission eh? hmm...sounds intriguing..
IM GONNA GET IT!!!

Yes, you should definitely get it man. It's inferior to the xbox version, but still worth playing. Like others have said, you can now get it at a very fair price. The Shanghai mission is the standout mission for me, it's excellent and reminiscent of classic SC. Enjoy!

I agree totally. I think outside of the first level, the Shanghai is the closest thing to the L/S sneaky type of gameplay from past titles. I LOVE popping that safe only inches from Emile.

The visual of the Shanghai skyline itself almost makes the game worth buying. I was awestruck when I first saw it.

definitely getting it, cheap aswell, only $40 AUD
