Overall: After Goldeneye no 007 game was really awe-inspiring. Last generation of consoles saw some good games staring pierce Brosnan but still they didn't feel like 007. Quantum of Solace however has the debut Daniel Craig in the 007 game legacy and is, more importantly, a game to be remembered.
The story begins with Bond raiding the house of the guy who's supposed to be the big man behind the whole plot of C@!%#*!ino Royale, after unleashing hell in the mansion 007 scapes to a gorgeous intro, and the story based on the motion picture Quantum of Solace begins, the story is very rushed however (as was in Goldeneye), and anyone who didn't see the movies is NOT going to understand what's happening, not to mention that, as usual, some sequences from the movie have been radically changed to accomodate a whole bunch of enemies and gunfire.
As the story "unfolds" Bond takes a moment to think about his first mission, and then the player is transported to a LOT of missions based on the C@!%#*!ino Royale motion picture, after the whole movie ends on its gaming version, you get back to finish Quantum of Solace per se.
Don't expect to really use any gadgets, as in the new movies there are no major gadgets, and unfortunately you never get to drive Bond's car either. Gameplay: The game plays similar to Rainbow Six Vegas, it is extremely urgent to take cover at all times, and the scenario is very convincing in a manner that things do not look as if they were "created for cover".
Bond also has the very neat ability to fight melee (most boss fights are only melee), that happens when you go behind an unsuspecting enemy oir if you run too fast towards one or press the melee buttom. That will always prompt a fast response to the player to mash a certain key or press them in as prompted (like in Force Unleashed), those sequences are brutal, often involving the breaking of legs, arms and heads-smashing, everything in a cinematoic fashion that keeps the action alive.
Many times the player can take the game in a stealth fashion, trying not to be seen and sneaking on enemies, however, most of the game involves simply taking cover and killing armies of enemies.
The variety of weapons is quite big, you always begin with the PP9, and you can get more weapons from certain "weapon caches" or dead enemies, the firefight is instense, in "007" dufficulty 3 bullets is the maximum you can take before dying, that is if the enemies don't hit you with a headshot. To help the good old agent out, there many explosives around to help you creat havoc wherever you go, sometimes you can even shoot certain objects that will creat electrical discharges that take you enemy out of cover, also try shooting the gl@!%#*! near the enemy, the shards will get into his eyes, maing your foe temporarily blind.
In certain occasions you'll also be jumping train cars, walking on ledegs, keeping your balance on thin walkways, etc. Graphics: Graphics are mostly pretty good, sometimes it looks as if it lacks texture, but all in all it's a decent graphic. Character modeling is superb, 007 looks just like the actor that gives him life, same goes for other characters.
Enemies however have mostly the very same face, they don't have a good variety of faces.
Weapons look realistic enough as does the scenario which certainly takes the trophy in this game. The scenario is simply gorgeous, and comes in a high variety of environments.
