The multiplayer mode was mediocre, but a lack of dedicated fans and online player meant it was hard to find matches. Overall, James Bond's Quantum of Solace was a strong FPS experience with relatively straightforward missions and great physics and controls. Best part? Being in cover and shooting an enemy in the head without even looking. However, it stands out for one reason, and one reason alone: Sean Connery. Developers EA Redwood Shores got the original Bond actor back for this title, which makes this game feel less gritty than it would with the current Bond, Daniel Craig.
The controls in James Bond From Russia with Love are tuned to feel more classically Bond, with melee moves being a big part of the gameplay, and only firing guns from the hip, as Connery did. The stealth missions weren't too difficult, but they were challenging - in the way that Bond made them look on screen. Breaking into Drake's castle may seem overwhelming on the first attempt with the number of guards that are on the ground, but with some thought and careful execution each of them can be taken out quietly.
Contrast that now with stealth missions in similar, more modern games and for me it's a two-hour battle of hiding behind cover trying to work out which of the enemies I can take out without any of the others sensing that I'm there by hearing me breathing from a mile away. By the time Brosnan returned as Bond in Die Another Day , the film series was being damned for its ridiculousness, peaking at that incarnation of managing to drive an invisible car. There was nothing that daft in Nightfire , a game that gave the player an array of cannily disguised gadgets to use - or not use - if they saw fit.
An electric stunner built into Bond's car keys, a flashbang grenade shaped like an electric shaver, thermal vision sunglasses, a camera disguised as a cigarette lighter, a laser in Bond's watch, and a grapple hook in his mobile phone aerial for swinging around the map. For you kids reading this, mobile phones used to have aerials that poked out of the top to give them signal. Later games, in this franchise or otherwise, have lost something by pinpointing every place to go on a map via GPS and giving the protagonist all the answers on their smartphone with an app.
This was real spying. Bond didn't use his phone for anything other than swinging from hooks to grids in hard-to-reach places - and he certainly didn't have arrows on the floor pointing him where to go. Each of the missions had a separate feel, yet each felt so tightly knitted to the story that the game flowed from moment to moment. After breaking into the castle on the long, open stealth operation, Bond is seamlessly forced into an escape on a snowmobile - a level on a track where the player simply aims and shoots at enemies.
A driving mission is up third to complete the escape, before we are plunged into a search and rescue in Japan. Forums Games CAGcast new! Games Reviews. Code Giveaways. Prices Price Tracker v3.
