Another game cleared from THE BACKLOG !! :D

I don't have much to say about my experience with QoS, so let's just get to it.I will say that I wished I wouldn't have played this game on the hardest difficulty because doing so probably added 2-4hrs of playtime.

007: QUANTUM OF SOLACE REVIEW

I'm a Bond fan and Quantum of Solace was a game I was interested in back in 2008, but never got a chance to play it. Heck, I didn't even really like the movie. So I thought I'd never play this game.

But I got Quantum of Solace as a Christmas present. So I had to play the game, ya know?

LOVED

Bond, James Bond: QoS does a good job letting you know this is a 007 game. When you take cover (which is often), you get to see a good rendering of Daniel Craig aka James Bond. Mr. Craig even did the voice acting too. Also, the 007 theme plays often.

Bustin' Caps: The gunplay and cover system work well enough for you to have a decent time playing the game. It just"works" and doesn't feel broken at all.

HATED

Pew, Pew: None of Bond's guns a memorable. Even the Power Weapons (1 per stage) are forgettable. All are just standard FPS stock weapons. Thereweren't even any cool gadgets used in the campaign either.

Wait, What?: A mix-mash of both Casino Royale's and Quantum of Solace's movies, the narrative is a disjointed mess. You never feel an attachment to any character. Heck, it's kinda difficult to keep up with the story.

Where's the Party?: The multiplayer mode has no Party System, which should've been an essential feature from the outset.

CONCLUSION

Quantum of Solace is the very definition of a "Generic Modern Shooter" game. The story is a confusing mess, all of the guns are standard FPS stock and none are particularly fun to use. There's just nothing noteworthy about QoS at all.

But QoS has one thing going for it; There is nothing broken with the game. The engine runs fine, the gunplay & cover system work well, and the charactor modeling of James Bond definitely looks like Daniel Craig.

SCORE: 6.0 / 10.0

TIME PLAYED: About 10hrs

ACHIEVEMENT DETAIL: 540 / 1000

BACKLOG UPDATE

So, SO glad to be done with Quantum of Solace. I really shouldn't have played it on the hardest difficulty, but at least it's done now.

Damn, making some good backlog progress this year! :D 4 games done in 3 months is pretty good for me. It's nothing but AAA games from here on out.

The next game up is: GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City

I bought both GTA IV DLCs when they were on sale on XBL a while ago and, sadly, haven't played them..until now. :)

So, until I blog again, these will be the games I'm playing: Halo Reach and GTA IV

THANK YOU FOR READING MY BLOG! :D
