GameArena:
"Using the Call of Duty 4 engine was a slick move from Treyarch, and the cover system is a fantastic addition - if a little rough around the edges. Quantum of Solace directly suffers at the hands of a strict movie release schedule - with more time the game could have been the Goldeneye replacement everyone has been dreaming of. If you're a diehard Bond fan you'll enjoy the game - you still play as James Bond - but with so many A grade titles out right now it might be worthwhile holding off on this purchase for now. Oh, and see the new movie first if you want to have some semblance of a clue as to what's going on."
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.
This game is vastly overlooked gem. If you like call of duty 4 then you will most likely enjoy the multiplayer for this game. I'm still playing it because the cover system and new weapon/perk system brings a fresh change to the cod4 engine. (this coming from somebody who didn't care much for cod5) Also the bond versus mode is a blast.
