What about the game?

One of the games I did play through when it came out was Quantum of Solace on the Xbox, a hybrid 1st and 3rd person shooter. You play as Bond (Daniel Craig) in the adaptation of the films plot.

Normally games based on films aren’t great, I’m not sure why but maybe a lot of the games budget is taken up in licensing fees, who know, right! Quantum of Solace is different, it’s a very good game, the graphics and voice overs are good, and the gameplay mechanic of 1st and 3rd person works very well.

I haven’t played this game in a long time but revisiting it again I can see why I got sucked in the games plot, it plays very well, and times flies along. If you’re interested in the game then it’s worth watching the video, whilst not a review or even a good demonstration of skill my video will show you what the game’s first 15 minutes or so has to offer..
