Quantum of Solace will give you enough of a Bond fix, but you'll be jonesing for something better. Maybe the new film will rectify that, but the new film won't set you back $60, will it? The game should only take you a few hours to complete, so Gamer 2.0 can't possibly recommend that you buy this. So just give it a rental if you have the time or don't bother at all.

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.
How can the gameplay be that bad when it's based of the CoD4 engine, that's almost impossible. Anyways, I'm playing through the game right now, and I'm enjoying it... It's probably around a 7.8-8.2 on an unbiased scale. Good game, yet it's based off a movie and has those plot issues holding it back.
