Rush is a race to hit objectives while conflict is just a regular deathmatch. You can play split screen or online, but only 4 modes: Rush, Team Rush, Conflict, and Team Conflict.
Single player may be dissapointing, but multiplayer is surprisingly solid and it saves the game from Amazing levels of awfulness.
The enemies are retarded, the guns are weak and they stripped the game of all the cool stealth moves from previous games for bland shoot-em up gameplay. The controls for cover are confusing and unresponsive, and the aiming is incredibly sensitive. They tried to take the cover concepts of Gears of war and put James bond's name on it, but they failed miserably. If you don't, I'd wait off on purchasing it until it gets down to around $10-15 as that's about how much the game is worth in terms of the amount of content it offers.By remixbaby44 | Review Date: NovemIn this version of the never ending James Bond series, Treyarch falls well below the standards of their call of duty games. If you have a console, I'd recommend renting it. It's not going to completely revolutionize gaming, but it's pretty solid nonetheless.
I actually really like the ability to be able to chat with my friends on the Xbox when I'm playing PC games and vice versa, so if anything, the game gets a plus for me with it having Games for Windows Live. You no longer have to pay to play online in it and I've had a Live account for a while. Requiring Windows Live doesn't bother me all that much. However, if people aren't playing the game, it's really hard to recommend it for the multi-player. However, to the game's credit, it does have an abundance of multi-player modes, some of them pretty generic, some of them rather interesting and fun. For the most part, you'll be lucky if you find any sort of multi-player going on for the pc version. Very few people are playing it and you'll basically have to go through the entire list of different game modes to find a match.
It just doesn't have that feel like other more gadget oriented games in the series like Nightfire or Goldeneye N64 had. If you changed the Bond player model, it would be extremely hard to know that it's a James Bond game. While the campaign does send you to all sorts of varied environments, something which we can argue Call of Duty 4 didn't really do, it just doesn't feel like you're playing a Bond game. It feels like a generic shooter and the campaign doesn't do much to help with it. The game uses the real voices of Daniel Craig and the rest of the cast to portray a somewhat authentic feel.Įxcluding the sound, this doesn't feel like a 007 game at all. On the other hand, the sound is excellent. It was probably a mix of both, but it doesn't change the fact that the graphics in Quantum of Solace are an absolute letdown.
Considering the engine that the game was built on, and even considering the age of that engine, the fact that the graphics really aren't that good really just shows either the laziness of the developers, or that they were pressured beyond belief to get the thing out by the time the movie was released. Some of the characters, especially the multi-player models have some of the worst designs I have ever seen. Graphically, that game ranges from pretty solid to absolutely awful. It's pretty badly executed, and this gimmick is definitely not worth the purchase of the game. This was one of the big selling points of the game, and while it is pretty interesting for the first level or two, the interest in it dies off quickly. In addition to Call of Duty like fps gameplay, Quantum of Solace employs a Gears of War like cover system. The core game components might be the same, and the engine running the game may be the same, but if you go in expected a top notch AAA title, you will be truly disappointed.
However, the quality of Quantum of Solace is nowhere near that of Call of Duty 4. If you've played Call of Duty 4, you will quickly notice the similarities between the two games. Quantum of Solace uses the Call of Duty 4 engine, and it does a pretty good job with it. While this technically is true, it does so in a really sloppy way that makes the game, while generally enjoyable, definitely not worth playing through more than once. When we first heard about Quantum of Solace, we were led to believe that the game would mix components from both Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War to bring an amazing experience. In this case, it seems to have gotten to the developers of Quantum of Solace, who have made a pretty good, but not great addition to the growing library of James Bond games. Of course, this tradition of quality means that a tremendous amount of pressure is put on the people who make the game. Heck, Goldeneye for the N64 was one of the best FPS games of it's era. Unlike most movie series out there, you can generally count on Bond to give you a pretty decent video game experience. By Ned_Flandish | Review Date: ApAh, 007.
