"Graphics: 5.0
Overall the visuals are not great, especially when we know the Wii is capable of the wonderful visuals in Metroid Prime 3. The framerate problem is a real bear, and it's annoying that some levels look good while others look horrible.
Sound: 8.0
The music is typically Bondesque, and most of the actors from the film reprise their roles here, including Daniel Craig and Dame Judy Dench.
Control: 8.0
Aside from my problems with the running/cover system, the controls are pretty tight. The map in my game was immobile.
Gameplay: 7.0
It's a standard FPS, with lots of running and even more gunning. There are some rusty spots, like spotting security cameras and deactivating them, but overall it's fine, with solid pacing and exciting shootouts.
Lastability: 6.0
Not much reason to play again after you've beaten it (which doesn't take long), although there are four difficulty settings. The online play will satiate players for awhile, but without a gamer score or the level-up systems of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 you might not stick around that long.
Final Score (Not an average): 6.0
The many graphical glitches really end up kicking Quantum in the teeth. However, the online play is worth a try, and the control scheme is very good overall. FPS fans might give the game a shot, but everyone else can safely look elsewhere."
Everyone’s been thinking about James Bond lately, with the franchise’s latest cinematic release tantalisingly close yet pushed back by the pandemic. It serves as a reminder of the wider obstacles faced by this particular franchise—one that can be nimble, competitive, and invigorating—but yet is a behemoth always struggling against the weight of its reputation in a changing creative landscape. The video games inspired by these films are a particular testament to those difficulties, considering their trajectory: an early enormous success in GoldenEye, through weakly received adaptations and original stories, to a near-decade of non-existence.
In the 38th episode of GO!, the first person who plays as three different characters in three different video games who have the same first name as an Achievement Hunter becomes this week's victor and gets a sticker to add to their collection.
Continue Play's Shehzaan Abdulla takes a look back at the first major Bond outing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - an FPS/TPS hybrid that does justice to neither of the genres it draws inspiration from.
You should try Blood Stone if you haven't already. It's going for the same price as Quantum but I reckon it's a better game all round.
I actually enjoyed the game. The scenery was really good and varied. It wasnt the best shooter ever, but it was certainly worth playing if you like the bond franchise at all. Bloodstone was good to, just different.
Much worse than that IMO... The online is pretty damn bad, there are tons of glitches and the framerate sucks. Id rented it and it wasnt even worth it...
