Well Quantum of Solace The Game is almost here, the cover art is available and it's listed on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com so everything is gearing up for a massive tie-in release.
There's a few topics about the specifics of the game but this is for general chat on the title. Are you looking forward to it? What do you hope it will achieve? Are you a gamer, or a Bond gamer?
The official game website is packed full of video and images from the game so go and take a look then come back here and let everyone know what you think.

One of the strengths of EA's better Bond games like Agent Under Fire, Nightfire and especially Everything or Nothing was that they mixed the gameplay styles from level to level and that kept the experience fresh. If this new game ends up being 100% first person gunplay it could get very repetitive very quickly.
As such, I will probably wait for some reviews and user feedback before taking the plunge.

The specs on the Wii just aren't that powerful compared to a 360, PS3 or high-end PC; as such, I would expect the Wii version to have the poorest graphics of the bunch.
I would also expect the gameplay to be different as well, so to accomodate the console's different control scheme. Typically the number of enemies you face and their placement and AI is often simplified for Wii games.
When a game is released on many consoles, the Wii version often ends up being a port of the PS2 version and that's usually not a good thing since the PS2 is very old technology. That's what happened with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - with many reviewers complaining that it looked like a PS2 game - and I wouldn't be surprised if we get the same thing here.
I'll probably buy it for my 360, but I do wonder how long the entire game will be. Seems they get shorter and shorter these days, with the multiplayer component of a new game only being popular for about a month; after that, no one plays (except for big releases like Halo3, GTA4 etc.)
Also, anyone notice which watch bond is wearing in the game? From some screenshots, it looks like it's the black 'bond' seamaster (non-PO), as it looks to have a black bezel and the blue bond bracelet.
EDIT: Just played the demo. It's clearly the blue bond SMP.
Also, seems there's a bunch of music, either from just the demo or the whole game, in a file called 'bxpack001.bin'. It seems to be a sound file that, if played about half way through, has a bunch of bond music.

He also commented that the online play is not all that great compared to games such as Call of Duty.
As of October 31, the Xbox 360 version has gotten generally solid reviews in America while receiving lesser scores from the UK.
Here's the link: Quantum of Solace on MetaCritic
They both call it an OK but somewhat uninspired game that, Bond license notwithstanding, just doesn't stand out enough from other FPS games on the market. The single player game is also ridiculously short and can be finished in 4-5 hours.
Given that I don't do much multiplayer at all, $60 US MSRP is way too much to ask for a 5 hour adventure. There are also way too many other games coming out this season and I don't think Activision was particularly smart in releasing this the same week as Microsoft's highly anticipated Gears of War 2.
I'll be waiting for a price drop on this one. Given the mediocre reviews and stiff competition, I don't think I'll have long to wait.
That said, QoS the film is action heavy, and this isn't really translated into the game as much as it could be. The opening car chase, the boat sequence, the free-fall and the dogfight - all crying out for airtime in a video game, and all are absent. It can’t help but feel like a missed opportunity. It was a conscious decision by Activision to make a shooter blending two perspectives, but it would be a lot better game if these segments were used.
They could have given the game, which is incidentally called Quantum of Solace, a lot more airtime than just 4 levels. It should be called Casino Royale - with Quantum of Solace bonus levels. What segments they do use look good, however.
I'll be buying the PS3 collectors edition, and the packaging does look fantastic.
It's a good game, I'm just not too fond of the online play. (I'm waiting for COD5!)
But solid graphics especially in HD! Great gameplay due to the COD engine, and good old bond fun i'd give it a 8.5
No Bliss was who was originally in the game. Beech was Bonds original cover along with...Miss Stephanie Broadchest.
my dad preordered the game but still hasen't picked the game up yet. i hope he gets it soon.
That's Right, lol. Thanks for the correction!
