IGN says "First things first – it's no GoldenEye. But Treyarch's take on the reinvented franchise is probably the most interesting Bond tie-in since Rare's 1997 masterpiece, and the core conceit reads like a 15-year-old's wet dream of a game – take the solid shooting of Call of Duty 4: World in Conflict, throw in a Gears of War-inspired cover system and wrap the whole package up in tuxedo before sending it out to fight to John Barry's timeless theme. But does it all stick together?"
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.
I wasn't expecting much from Treyarch.
i knew it would flop
ouch, GoldenEye is unbeatable.
Im actually dissapointed , I love James Bond films and Ive played every game till now.
Huh, they were trying to build hype up for this one, and many said it was better than expected.
But before anyone launches into a "It's a film tie-in" rant - I would say that there have been an awful lot of James Bond games that have been awesome.
They didn't get it quite right with this one, though. Shame.
