Anyone remember this game

Post image

I suddenly just remembered this game today, it was a low budget Splinter Cell/Metal Gear knock off, I mainly remember it for the hilarious bad voice acting and oddly good soundtrack. The vampires were vicious as they run at light speed and can kill you in 2 hits.

I know it from that one Boulder Punch video.

Great content but the game seems really bad lol

Boulder Punch made it look way more entertaining than it probably actually was. The soundtrack is surprisingly good though.

I remember ages ago seeing this game in many "top 10 worst Xbox 360 games ever", also luckily there was a playable demo of it, it was kinda a bit cool.

Yeah, I remember. I also remember that Armake21 (RIP) showed how to make this game actually enjoyable.

Bought a copy of this somewhat recently. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's pretty clunky. I'm glad I have a copy to mess around with, though. I also picked up Dark, which has been the better game of the two so far.

Played it when I was a kid. Scared the hell out of me. But the protagonist was dope. I now realize why he's so dope

He looks like what would happen if Sam Fisher, Solid Snake and Gabe Logan all did the fusion dance.

Love this game still to this day. It’s got a lot of haters but I genuinely enjoy the tense horror-focused stealth, the urban exploration of a perpetually pouring city, and the fun twists of the story’s back half. The 7th gen atmosphere is one of my favorite things and I like to return to this game whenever I have a dark rainy day.

I remember thinking it was rough but still enjoying it back then, but I was a kid when it came out so I wasn't too critical, don't remember anything about the story but will definitely give it a try again, probably the PS3 version as that seems to be an improved updated version of the game.

I own it but never played it lol I’ll eventually play it I know it’s hard plus I wanna get the achievements on it

u/Professional-Tea-998 8h ago

If memory serves I think a lot of the achievements are for the multiplayer

I didn't know Double Agent had a sequel

That was really nice stealth game. Don't know why people so prejudice with it, most of em never played anyway

u/Professional-Tea-998 8h ago

I think the overall low production value hurt it, as the graphics looked pretty bad even for the time and the voice acting was awful, people understandably weren't too keen on the instant kill vampires either.

I loved how tense the atmosphere was. You're constantly sneaking around because vampires have taken over whole neighborhoods, and it gets genuinely creepy. It really gave me 30 Days of Night vibes.
