James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace (PS3)

I think I should mention the single player is not only the 'Quantum of Solace' film story but also the story from the 'Casino Royale'. This is because the game would have been pitifully short if it had just been based on 'Quantum of Solace', so there is a bit more to single player than you may think. If you've seen the films you'll have noticed that there are a few boat chases, car chases and even a plane fight. Well don't expect to see any of that in this game, you're on foot all the way. The only time you'll see bond in a car is in a cut scene. I found this very disappointing when some of my favourite moments in the films involve bond madly driving some ...  Read the complete review

Quantum of Solace is the newest James Bond video game, released on all platforms. When I heard that the engine being used for this game was the same as Call of Duty 4, it definitely made it sound more promising and the game did deliver on the gameplay aspect because of this. It feels like COD4 at times but there is also the addition of the third person cover system which isn't 100% reliable but is certainly useful, like in the Rainbow Six Vegas series. Aiming is smooth and accurate and there are a variety of common weapons that you'll recognise. In terms of graphics, Quantum of Solace is very average. There isn't enough detail to really impress you ...  Read the complete review

Quantum of Solace - Playstation 3 Quantum of Solace is a movie to video game crossover which was tied into the launch of the movie, any game featuring James Bond will always be compared to 'Goldeneye' which is said to be one of the most famous video games ever; this means there is a lot for this game to live up too but seeing how its on the brilliant PS3 console this shouldn't be a problem. This game is made by Treyarch a well known reputable game company. Great effort was put into the game, one of the first things I noticed was that they tried very hard to make the James Bond character look like Daniel Craig, not only does he do voice-overs for ...  Read the complete review

Released among the pre-Christmas rush, it was readily expected that this James Bond tie-in would quickly evaporate into the wilderness, while other marketed first-person shooter games such as Resistance 2 and Call Of Duty: World At War gained all the hype and sales. Funnily enough, this is what exactly happened. Quantum Of Solace was too easily dismissed by the public, shunned aside for a 'meatier' game. Created by Activision, and powered by the acclaimed Call of Duty 4 engine, Quantum Of Solace's story covers both of Daniel Craig's James Bond outings so far. The storyline of Casino Royale is intertwined appropriately using flashbacks, but by the time of the Venice ...  Read the complete review

First off, I'm not a fan of first-person shooters, but being a fan of Bond and cheap Internet prices I decided to take a chance on this one, and am pleasantly surprised with what I've got for just a tenner. It may be called Quantum of Solace - suggesting you're in for an average movie tie-in - but you are getting two movie tie-ins, with a huge chunk of the relatively short single player mode following events (or rather snippets of and bits added for game's sake) of Casino Royale. While short though, single player is excellently varied and paced, in both level design, length and how to beat them. Taking control of Bond with full Daniel Craig likeness ...  Read the complete review
