PlayTM: Quantum of Solace Review
PlayTM writes: " Due primarily to Rare’s outstanding creation, the seminal Goldeneye 007, games related to the Bond films have a degree of higher expectations associated with them than the usual box-office cash-ins. This media prejudice is however looking quite unfounded these days, as every other Bond game has been pretty mediocre, and I’m sad to report that Quantum of Solace isn’t much of an exception. A solid Call of Duty 4 engine, some impressive level design, and a duck-and-cover mechanic inspired by Gears of War are all not enough to save this title from being a rather unchallenging and uninspired film spin-off.
Gameplay segments are separated by chunks of CGI reconstructed film action – presumably showing scenes from the actual movie (I haven’t seen it yet). These cinematic sequences demonstrate all the game’s strengths: excellent production quality, a nice solid graphical engine, good voice acting, and the inspired Bond storyline."
