5 Stars The name is Bond…. James Bond
After 007 Nightfire I was wondering if there would be any other James Bond coming out later. Finally along came Quantum of Solace. As soon as I started playing I knew I was going to like it! And boy do I! The graphics are amazing for Quantum of Solace! The gunfire, explosions, voiceacting, everything about the sound is great! What is soooooo cool about Quantum of Solace is that you can hide behind almost anything and shoot from cover and heal! Activision was actually thinking about what the real James Bond would do! The only downer I see is there is no blood. Blood always makes the games more enjoyable! This is one of the best FPS shooters ever created! Any fan of James Bond or FPS will love Quantum of Solace! You won’t be disappointed!
5 Stars Just plain fun
From a technical stand point some will say it is a typical shooter. They are right. But I really liked how fun it was to play this game. In my opinion much of the game play is similar to the quality of Call of Duty or Halo. Well worth it!
3 Stars As average as a game can be.
My review is based on the X360 version.
If I paid more than $20 for this, I’d feel cheated. I knocked it out in less than 15 hours on the second hardest difficulty (Agent, I think). The graphics are above average, but some of the animations look terrible. As a fan of the two films upon which the game are based (QoS and Casino Royale), I didn’t care for the liberties taken with the plot, which I can only assume were done to make for an easier translation to the format.
The cover system works well (think R6: Vegas). The shooting mechanic feels a bit undercooked, with a few annoying glitches when trying to aim around cover. Melee combat, or “takedowns”, are pretty basic. Once I got the achievement for doing 50 of them, I didn’t bother with it again. The online gameplay is mediocre at best.
For $20 or less, I’d say “go for it”, as a quick diversion, or to score an easy ~400 achievement points. Note that several of the achievements require you to suffer through the miserable multiplayer game.
5 Stars Nerd gives it two sore thums up!
I played Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare constantly and never found any first person shooter that came close to the quality of those games - until now. I loved the N64 Goldeneye and this is as good or better. The online play is excellent.
4 Stars Best Bond game since Goldeneye 64!
The James Bond video games by EA Games were always off. I never liked any of them. This one is made by Treyarch and published by Activision. The game is a bit short, but lots of fun. Bond is back!
