Tyrone Williams writes "Graphically, the title is visually impressive on the PS3 with detailed gaming environments and characters. The main character even looks like Daniel Craig and moves with a catlike grace at times. Match that with some great Hollywood style explosions and the like and this is as close as to any of us will get to starring in a James Bond movie. Musically, the title contains the great Bond score which assists in the atmosphere plus a variety of realistic sound effects that compliment the gameplay.
At the end of the day, Quantum of Solace is a sturdy action game with elements of first person and third person shooters. Match that with great graphics and sound effects and this title will draw you in from the very start to the finish. My only gripe are some of the frustrating narrow edges that you must navigate and the sometimes fiddle some camera angles. Add in online play for the PS3 and you'll be Bonding for quite some time!"
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.

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.
