IGN: Quantum of Solace Hands-On
There's no doubt that the essence of Call of Duty is at the center of QoS. The movement, the interface, the text; it's all straight out of COD4, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The team at Treyarch has been hard at work developing ways to expand on the solid foundation that has already been laid.
The first deviation is the cover system. Players can take cover behind corners and objects that are strategically placed throughout the environment by pressing a face button and can leap over those objects, Gears of War style, and sprint by pressing that same button. It felt solid enough and provided players with their only real look at Daniel Craig during gameplay. Most of my time was spent taking cover on corners to blind fire at incoming enemies.The gun battles were well put together and felt about as good as you'd expect from a game built on the COD4 engine. There are pieces of cinematic flair thrown in to further intensify the mission. In the museum level there was a sequence where James had to escape a crashing elevator and leap onto an adjacent ladder. On my first attempt I was a half-second slow making my way up the ladder and James was greeted with a wall of fire that enveloped the entire elevator shaft. It was simple but it helped bring variation to the FPS gameplay, something that this game needs since Activision decided to avoid the driving sequences that are common to the franchise.After making my way through the single-player mission, it was time to try my hand at some multiplayer. The two modes I played were called Team Conflict – a standard deathmatch contest – and Golden Gun where there's one gold gun (one-shot kill) on the map and points are scored by killing the guy with the classic Bond weapon or killing others while holding it. Both felt solid, if not a bit on the traditional side.
Luckily there's also Bond VS. where one player is Bond and all other players are Organisation agents. The evil Organisation agents are trying to plant bombs at spots around the map while Bond is trying to either kill the players or disarm their bombs. Bond Evasion pits two equal-sized teams as Organisation and MI6 agents. MI6 is trying to escort one VIP player to an exit and the Organisation is trying to stop them. There's even a mode called Arcade Mode which is modeled after the popular GoldenEye mode. Players start with pistols and need to find other weapons on the map. Then there's the standard every-man-for-himself deathmatch and king of the hill modes to complement the package.Quantum of Solace effectively puts players in the shoes of James Bond in a world that is very reminiscent of Infinity Ward's game of the year from last year. It's fast and fun, but here's hoping that it stays that way throughout the entire campaign. I have some concerns about monotony becoming an issue but I'll reserve final judgment until retail copies make their way to my desk.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: 007: Quantum of Solace (PS3/360)
I want another 007 game bad, but I'll wait on this. Not only is it a first bond effort by Activision, which is meant to tie in with the same movie, but it's developed by Treyarch...who also made CoD5.
Both CoD5 and 007 also seem to be scheduled for release on every console out. These could easily be cash in rush jobs
Not to mention the team is also releasing Spider-man Web of Shadows.Comment

If I like the demo, I might put this one on my Christmas list. If I do get an FPS this year, it will be this or FEAR 2.Comment

After watching some YouTube videos, it reminds me how much I have lost touch with Bond since Golden Eye.

Re: 007: Quantum of Solace (PS3/360)
Any know when the demo might be released for the PS3/360? The game looks to be fun, and I havent had a fun 007 game since golden eye. If multiplayer is good then I may pick it up, but with Fallout 3, Fable 2, COD V, and GEARS 2 I dont know if I would even find the time...lol. Not to mention the new Naruto PS3 game coming out that I will be getting. Talk about a dream for a Gammer.PS4 Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/candyman5os

Re: 007: Quantum of Solace (PS3/360)
IGN Review: 7.0
Quantum of Solace isn?t the game that it should have been. It?s not bad by any means, but what brings it out of the pits of despair is the foundation of a much better game that we all know and love. The action is less compelling and the world that?s built around Bond doesn?t do much to enhance the fun factor. All of the additions do nothing to push the game ahead of other first-person shooters and instead take you out of the world of being Bond. If you?re looking for a game to reveal the plot of Quantum of Solace before the movie?s release, this is not it. If you?re looking for the answer to GoldenEye, this is not it. Instead Quantum of Solace is a respectable shooter with little that sets it apart from the rest of the field.Comment
