The hacking tool used by spies in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent's multiplayer games is a wondrous tool indeed. With it, I can crouch on the roof of the "boss house" and download valuable information from a terminal I have in my line of sight.
The tool is used by pulling the Xbox 360 controller's right trigger and holding down the "A" button. In this way, spies can retrieve information (a three-man team needs to capture two files and escape with them to win) without making themselves obvious targets for the enemy mercenaries' guns. Oh, and the hacking tool can also be used to knock out a room's lights, disrupt a mercenary's electronics, and break glass from a distance.
Ubisoft did a really fine job refining Agent's multiplayer play, adding an extra man to each side and giving both the spies and mercenaries great new gadgets to use. Even if Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent bombs as a single-player experience (which is as likely as untalented comedian Carrot Top is funny), its multiplayer action will be more than worth it.
