James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace

James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace

"007: Quantum of Solace" is a James Bond video game based on the movies "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace." Several versions of the game were released for seven platforms; the versions for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC were designed as first-person shooters, while the versions for PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS were designed as third-person shooters. The game runs on the “Call of Duty 4” game engine. The core gameplay of “Quantum of Solace” is that of a first-person shooter. However, throughout the game, the perspective switches to a third-person view to emphasize that the player is taking on the role of James Bond. This third-person perspective is used, among other things, in conjunction with a cover system and quick-time events. One example of this is the use of quick-time events during the pursuit of Mollaka in a level that recreates the chase scene at the construction site at the beginning of the movie “Casino Royale.”

Story

Bond meets Vesper Lynd, a Treasury accountant, on the way to Montenegro. After their meeting, Bond fights dealers of a drug organization distributed on the train and kills the boss who was invited to Le Chiffre's Casino Royale game, replacing him in the game (a notable difference from the movie). After the fight, Bond arrives in Montenegro, where he confronts Le Chiffre. After defeating Le Chiffre in the poker game, Vesper is kidnapped. Bond pursues the kidnappers, but crashes his car and is taken hostage. He escapes and fights his way through Le Chiffre's barge to rescue Vesper. He succeeds, but Bond and Vesper are recaptured by Le Chiffre's bodyguards. As they near death, they are saved when Mr. White kills Le Chiffre for his recent actions, leaving Bond and Vesper alive.
