Though Bond’s health will regenerate when not taking damage, it only takes a few bursts to drop him. You can blind fire from cover or actually pop out to land more accurate shots. Getting flanked is often a deadly affair. Getting to cover is easy enough but oftentimes it can be unduly difficult to switch cover. Weapons can be fitted with silencers to take out distant targets without raising the ire of nearby guards, but once your cover is blown the game becomes a rather sloppy cover-based shooter. Stealth does make an appearance, mainly at the start of levels where you can sneak up to enemies to silently and brutally take them down.
#Quantum of solace pc review movie
The opera scene in the Quantum of Solace movie has Bond stealthily eavesdropping on his targets during a live opera, while in the game you are running through a completely reworked locale and simply gunning everyone down. To boot, both plots are heavily reworked, trading quality for more opportunities to have Bond shoot people. There is no reason given for the sudden swap, and it makes following the plot more difficult than it should be. You start the game in a version of the Quantum of Solace plot, then later find yourself at the start of Casino Royale, chasing a bomb-maker across a construction site. While it may star Daniel Craig and have almost all of the actual actors doing the voice work, it just doesn’t feel like a Bond game. The rewritten plot that results from this mish-mash is an undecipherable mess. The game spans the events of both the Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace movies, but only in the loosest sense. This movie could have been better, much better.Even with the power of the Bond franchise behind it, Quantum of Solace falls into all the typical movie-adaptation video game traps. But one can see some goofs here and there such as why there were so many hydrogen bottles in that building in the middle of the desert. But, we can now appreciate a strong man who goes into a lot of fights. I am still not sure if I like Craig in James Bond or not.
Now, this movie brings shades of grey which at last makes these movies closer to real espionage. This movies seems to be moving away from propaganda where the world is portrayed no longer as two sides where everyone is spread between the good and the bad. This seems more realistic and closer to reality with almost Ludlumesque intensity where the hero is caught in a serious imbroglio where even his own government will not support mission completion (except the well played M of course). If you know about the Middle East, you will see it true.
I really liked the complex scenario where we see the CIA about to strike a deal with the villain for desperate political control. The same criticism can be stated for action scenes which happen to be very fast but difficult to watch. In this movie, the starting sequence shows you two Alfa Romeos almost dominating JB's Aston Martin and it would have been stunning if properly filmed. Among others, their flair comes from their incredible car races which usually keep you riveted to your seat. James Bond movies are in a class by themselves.
