Quantum of Solace (2008 Video Game)
8/10
An OK game

I'd simply also like to say that for people who don't know it, this page is about the Quantum of Solace GAME not the Quantum of Solace MOVIE.

Anyway, the movie was not that great at all, it just had a random set of events taking place in random places. That doesn't work well as a film, but in a video game, I really don't care. The gameplay was quite exceptional, powered by the Call of Duty 4 game engine, with different controls and an effective cover system much like that of Gears of War. The missions were almost equally shared with both Quantum of Solace events and Casino Royale events. I just like the way Treyarch turned short encounters with the enemy into full-out battles, to make the game much more interesting and fun to play. The Multiplayer mode was quite good, though. We had a set of players winning and losing matches, with received credits for purchasing weapons, equipment and attachments. The maps were, like in Call of Duty 4, directed exactly from the campaign.

The problems about this game are just simply about my opinion, not about the general opinion. I am used to shooters with blood, and after Gears of War 2, I am used to lots and lots of blood and gore. It was strange playing this game because whenever you kill and enemy, not a single drop of red liquid oozes out of his body. Maybe because they'd think countless Bond fans out there are not used to blood, and that the gore factor must be shrunk down a bit.

I'd originally give this game a 7/10, but being reminded of how addictive the campaign was, I changed it to 8/10, still keeping the cons of the game in thought. Still though, it is recommended for fans of both James Bond and First-Person-Shooter. Treyarch did a great job to making this an epic game for all those Bond-lovers out there.

I gotta admit though, I didn't buy this game because I was a fan of Bond, just because it seemed interesting at first. I had no idea of what the story was about, and why I was massacring so many people.
