Quantum of Solace is a compilation shooter: a decent game that borrows many of its mechanics from others.

James Bond's newest adventure is a great experience. I only managed to rent the game yet I also completed the storyline in less than 5 hours. It is simplistic and fun to play. I may only speak from the storyline perspective however, because I haven't yet played the multiplayer. The graphics are standard and showcase many of the environments of the movie, as well as the voice acting and character animation. The game utilizes the CoD gameplay engine for its gunplay and it works very well. At times the action and shooting feel more fluid and precise than CoD, headshots are possible and enemies are relatively intelligent in comparison with other games in the franchise. The story is involving and allows the player to manage situations in a variety of manners, however in the end, it amounts to a linear pursuit full of twists and interesting cover choices. James' head may be held over a wall while he is taking cover, yet the bullets, no matter how close, never seem to hit him as he lies in wait to pop and fire over and over again. The game is a great deal of fun and that is what I aim to stress the most, it encompasses a lot of story information, and despite the fact that cutscenes are cheap and near non-existent, you will enjoy the ride. The weapons are great and sprint and shoot is evidently possible, making this title a very slick 007 presentation at a low price. The multiplayer, as I have only heard, is as fun as the storyline or better, and can be quite addicting. QoS is an overall great game, some inexpensive (it recently dropped to $40) entertainment for the everyday shooter/FPS fan.
