Sure, Fisher spent some time in jail in that fourth chapter of the stealthy series, but it was only for one half-baked level (as a 'prisoner,' he still had some of his high-tech gadgets, for chrissakes).
But Splinter Cell: Double Agent didn't deliver on that unspoken promise. After all, you don't show our favorite government secret agent in a mug shot unless you're planning on flipping the script inside out.
THE FAMILIAR SLEEK BLACK CATSUIT and all-purpose vision headgear (with the famous, iconic three glowing green circles) were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a Creamsicle-orange prison jumpsuit and 5 o'clock (plus overtime) shadow-Sam Fisher seemed to be in for a franchise reinvention.
