Product Description
Bond is Back! Based on the "Quantum of Solace" and "Casino Royale" films, Quantum of Solace places you in the ruthless world of international espionage and intrigue.
Amazon.co.uk Review
There never was a video game of Casino Royale, but now Activision is making up for lost time with a title that incorporates both Casino Royale and its immediate sequel, Quantum of Solace. It’s primarily a first-person shooter, but it does switch to an over-the-shoulder view when hiding under cover or taking part in interactive cut scenes.
 Daniel Craig is a big games fan and has taken a personal interest in the game |  Almost everything in the game can be destroyed or damaged |  Stealth is just as important as gunplay when you’re James Bond |  Close combat switches out of first person view for a more cinematic effect | Just like the Bond movies, the game offers a mixture of action and stealth, with the chance to take down enemies instantly if they don’t see you. You’ll almost always be outgunned, but you’re given clues as to which strategy to take by the changing music. Bond's aresenal has been slimmed down in the new films, so it makes sense that there aren’t many gadgets in the game. There is an online multiplayer mode that pays homage to past classic Bond games such as GoldenEye 007. Which should hopefully make Bond’s video game comeback as successful as his cinematic return. Key Features - You only live twice: Recreate the stories of both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace in one game, including deleted scenes and new side missions.
- Duty calls: The game uses the same graphics technology as Call of Duty 4, including bullets that realistically pass through wood and other materials.
- You know his name: The game features not only the voice and likeness of Daniel Craig, but also Judi Dench as M, Mathieu Amalric as villain Dominic Greene, and Olga Kruylenko as Camille.
- Shaken not stirred: A mix of first- and third-person viewpoints allows for both shooter action and tense stealth-based exploration.
- Licence to kill: Battle friends in the online mode in a wide range of game types.

 Why have the critics been negative!?! It's AWESOME! November 14, 2008
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
I've owned this game for three weeks now, and I have to say it's absolutely addictive. I've listed my scores for the headings numbered below and their reasons are also appropriately numbered further below.
1. Single player mode: 8.5/10
2. Controls: 9.5/10
3. Graphics: between 7.5-10/10 (On average 8.5/10)
4. Offline and online multiplayer 10 /10
5. Overall 10/10 (As it's SO MUCH fun! and there's loads to do!)
1. There is so much satisfaction from shooting down enemies from balcony tops, corners and even passing helicopters!! Shooting feels heavy and there are many weapons, although you can only hold a fixed number of them at any point in time. A great thing is the cover system. Whilst shooting, you and your enemies are able to cover behind tables, walls, doors etc. This builds up anticipation as it is not always apparent where your enemies are hiding (especially when there is multiple gunfire and grenades coming your way!) This feature makes gameplay feel fantastic!
2. Controls are brilliant! - very responsive and logical. Aim the remote like a gun and press B to shoot. You can lock on and zoom into enemies via holding Z. While controlling bond's movements via the nunchuk, you have to also simultaneously rotate bond's head. This is done by waving the remote slowly across the screen from side-to-side to mimic bond's head/eye movements. This feels just like Bond as you have to always be aware of your surroundings, even when on-the move. At first this concept is a little difficult to pick up, but you get the hang of it after 10mins or so.
3. After seeing some poor quality screenshots on the web pre-release, I was really surprised to discover the graphics in this game are stunning! Bond really looks like Daniel Craig, the environments look fantastic and the cut -scenes during single gameplay are INCREDIBLE! Most realistic wii graphics I've sent yet!
4. Offline multiplayer and online multiplayer modes are identical except offline is 4-player split screen and online is 4-players but on a single screen. There's a standard death match mode and also an objectives mode (both modes can also be played in teams) - objectives mode is exciting- you have to complete a series of mini-missions in fixed timeframes - e.g be the first player to assassinate player 3 or find a briefcase - as other players are undertaking the same missions, you often cross paths with them and the fun begins! The multiplayer is much better than goldeneye and is so much fun - this is greatly due to the cover system whilst shooting your opponents (covering/hiding behind doors, by walls, etc making gameplay strategic and feel anticipatory and exciting).
Online servers find opponents quickly, is completely lag-free and smooth. I feel that 4-players online is more than enough, as players come back alive again once you've shot them - having this feature is brilliant whenever you don't have friends over to play locally. A drawback to multiplayer is that you can't select individual movie characters - instead you choose pre-defined individuals who have different shooting styles/qualities - bomber, defender, assassin style etc - however this works well as you can change your shooting style throughout any game and as it's so much fun I've given it 10/10.
5. For all the reasons above, QOS is such a brilliant game. It's extremely rare to get a third-party Wii game that delivers on stunning graphics, controls, gameplay, brilliant offline AND online multiplayer!! - would have been PERFECT if it also had co-op play! You won't get bored of it as there's so much to do! I was amazed to find this game receiving some unwarranted negative attention from critics. I own Mario Kart, Top Spin 3, PES 2008 and QoS is by far the best game to play alone and with guests, so DEFINITELY recommend it! Base your judgements solely on user reviews for this game. If you are in any doubt then rent it as it really isn't worth missing out.

So the latest bond game.... is it better than goldeneye? the answer to that is yes! With exiting single player including dramatic cutscene's this is bonds exiting adventure yet! With the same graphics engine as COD4 it was expected to be a good game. An intresting feature is the fight scenes you move the cursor to a paticular part of your opponent's body and press the required button... this is all done in a type of cutscene thingy. Another new feature is the undercover feature. This allow you to take cover behind various parts of the environment and blindfire. Multiplayer is an essential part of any bond game and this is no exeption. You and 3 freinds can have a go at one of the various maps and ahave a shoot out. But the highlight of the multiplayer has to be the online play it can keep you entertaind for hours on end. The one draawback about this game is there are only 12 characters with 2 guns each this means the only unlockable material is the cutscenes, not like thats a bad thing but i always looked forward to lobbing a hat at someone =)... AWESOME GAME
Best Bond Game Ever!!! November 6, 2008

I got this game on the day of release as I am a die-hard James Bond fan. I was not disapointed. The game works briliantly. The graphics are very good for a wii game and the frame rate is not choppy at all. The cover system works very well and it is very fun to use. The controls also work great and are very easy to use. It is very fun as it is a first person shooter and the camera comes back for third person cover combat. Overall this is a very enjoyable game and I would recomend it to anyone who like FP shooters.
Great Game November 1, 2008

Fantastic game, the single play is abit complicated at the start but you get the hang of it after a few mins. multiplayer option is great BUT i think you should also be able to go against the computer on multiplayer. online mode is brilliant, hours fly by when i'm on the online mode.
If your ever in a gaming shop and unsure what to buy, get this, get the friends around its guaranted fun
