This game is bloody fantastic! Much better than I thought it would be. I bought the pc version and I can't wait to go online with this but so far the single player is awesome. Awesome graphics and overall awesome production. Not to hate on Brosnan but he never really sounded enthusiastic to me when he did VO work for the games. Craig sounds and delivers his lines exactly how he does in the movies. The gameplay is surprisingly fluid and easy to control and master for the pc (I use a laptop). The pursuit of mitchel was really exciting, especially the rooftop scenes, very explosive and the weaponry and implementation of the cover system and the hand to hand combat works masterfully. Right now, I'm at the opera level, using stealth, killing goons with a silencer or taking them down with the Q button. I love this game to bits. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I loved and still do enjoy playing Everything or nothing. Here's hoping the rest of the game is still as awesome as what I've experienced thus far.

Oh and Fergie's theme with the visuals is fantastic, surprisingly enough, it was better than the movie's.

Yep, a BRILLIANT game. Right now I'm on the Casino Royale level where you're breaking into the spa, and crawling around vents. One thing I'd say about multiplayer, the lack of split-screen/"party play" is annoying. My friend's here now, and we were going to try and do PLAYER and PLAYER (1) like on Halo 3 but no sign of that. And we tried logging in with his account, but no luck. Bit of a shame, but he said he's going to be getting the game eventually anyway, so we can play some LIVE

I have the Wii version.
I've got to the Casino Royale flashback levels, I think I'm on Venice.
It took a while to get used to the controls but once I did it felt really natural and easy. The construction level on Casino Royale was brilliant, they somehow managed to make the parkour feel real.
The multiplayer is good, I loved the fact they have the facility level.

WHAT!? The facility did return!?

Is the All-Bonds feature true BTW?

[Union Bond]

Facility is back, slight changed, with about 3 extra new rooms, but its basically the same level.
The All Bond thing, Connery,Moore etc isn't real I think.

Nope, Bond Versus is you playing as Bond against the Organisation, and you have to defuse bombs before thy kill you...I think.

[sharpshooter]

Facility is back! Excellent.

[bonds_walther]

I've completed the games on the XBOX. Woo-hoo!

Seriously though, it's a good, fun game. What Bond game isn't? Oh, hold on - I forgot about Goldeneye: Rogue Agent. As for QoS, the only hang ups for me were the length (too short), the 'real time' fight scenes (boring) and it's just a bit too easy. The only real difficulty is the number of bad guys that seem to keep appearing on certain levels.

Now to unlock the rest of those achievements...

Double o ego,

How much computer power/video card do you have on your laptop for the game to play well?

"Facility" as in the map from Goldeneye??

Nice, I'll be getting mine for the 360 on Tuesday.

Yup!

Double o ego,

I have a sony vaio laptop, model FZ21M. It runs perfectly on medium settings. I havn't tried it on high settings yet.

[Harpy007]

Are you guys serious?? Is Facility truly back? How come not a single review mention it? How is the level? Any videos yet? Thanks!

[PeteNeon]

I believe it's under a different name - Chemical Plant I think.

Finished the game earlier this evening - very good! But two things: a ) the majority of the game is from Casino Royale and b ) the last level - I thought you'd get to fight Dominic with the axe in a cool fight thing, but you just have to shoot two sets of barrels?!?! Still great game! Got 26 out of 50 achievements already

This must be that rather easy ending we heard about. Seems a bit peculiar not fighting the main villain in a playable cinematic, since it occurs with every other boss throughout the game.

[double o ego]

Ok, I ran the game on its highest setting and the graphics are lush and that's using an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 at 2 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, a dedicated Nvidia Geforce 8400 GT graphics card.

As for the game, it's a great shooter. Not sure if it's the best Bond game but I can't wait to get on multiplayer. Peteneon, I've added you on live.

Facility?:

Mmmm.. I can live with the changes made, hope the song is the same.

I don't really remember what the music in the Wii version is, but I don't think its the same as the N64 one.

[Blonde Bond]

Okay... there's 24 hours left until the movie opens here and I tried not to, but couldn't resist buying this game and starting it (the movie is released tomorrow/Friday at 0:07 local time and the game was released on 31st of last month)....

I'm surprised how little it actually spoils the movie. There isn't really much plot in the game. So all things that I've come across in this game I've seen in trailers/tv - spots and spoilers I've read. I was supposed to only play the first level, but I'm already in the airport level from the 'Casino Royale' section of the game... It's been decent enough. So far. Though I'll try not to finish the whole game before I see the movie. Don't want it to give it all away.

Wow.. IGN gave 4/10 to the Wii version

I'm not surprised. When I saw the Wii clips, it looked it.

[JimmyBond]

Not to go too off topic, but I've long given up on the Wii. I bought it based on the motion controller technology and I really don't like that as much as I thought I would. Plus the big N really dropped the ball in the graphics department, I understand they did that to keep the cost down, but I really don't see much difference from Gamecube to Wii.

I only use my Wii to play classic games on the Virtual console, and I really don't even do that anymore.

Exactly what I hear others saying. They've bought either a Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3 and joined the big time. There was all this talk about the potetial, but it hasn't been truly realised. Wii is nothing more than a Gamecube with a remote, that continues to disappoint with mediocre games such as this. Despite roaring sales, the honeymoon is well and truly over.

[JimmyBond]

Now, to get this back on topic. I have just gotten the game today (on 360, natch), and I'm loving it.

I do have a few niggles though (and this is true of a lot of modern games) I hate the way we jump from level to level, I miss the days where we had a bit of a breather, got to see our objectives, and had the option of quitting, I always feel bad when I quit in the middle of the game.

I do however think this is one of the best shooters I've played recently (admittingly I havent played a lot).

[BlackFire]

Well wan't it or not it'll be Wii version for me since I can afford a PS3 or 360, but if Nintendo does not come with a decent Wii 2 (Blu-Ray please!) I'll buy a PS4.

[SolidWaffle]

Excellent game. Doesn't revolutionize or do anything that special, but it is a solid shooter. Love the Facility throwback from Goldeneye. So far, the multiplayer seems excellent, and I love how most of the guns are named after Bond film abbreviations. A few criticisms: The lack of between mission movies, just the computer screen, well... that's it.

Some excellent things: The graphics and level art is excellent: Check out the train level + the beginning of Science Center. Loved the titles too. Cool design, juxtaposing the car chase and the titles. Song was good too. Once again, multiplayer is good, seems some people are playing. Also love the achievements.

I felt bad because I didn't see the movie yet - I'm in America - but I haven't been exactly spoiler free either.


EDIT: Yes, facility is back! However, it's been expanded and has a more square shape rather than an L. Looks artistically excellent, more like the film. It's good fun. Reminds me of the olden days.

I loved the game! the call of duty engine combined with using cover and other 3rd person aspects was the way to go!

I actually liked the way that they showed it from the perspective of the people reviewing the files rather than being 'filmatic', this was very unique and cool. I liked that they didn't get too deep into the plot. partially because if you've seen the films you already know what was happening and if you havn't it doesn't give away the plot (and QoS isn't out in the us yet). if it was an origonal story, i would be mad to not see all the details.

dispite all the complaints, i had alot of fun with this one, it was too short, but i think that the online play will make up for it, allowing endless hours of gameplay. if only i had XBOX live

[PlayItBogart]

Could they at least explain what happened between the opera house level and Bond's plane getting shot down? I know they EVENTUALLY sort of explain what Camille is doing there but there's like no context. It feels like I'm playing an old NES game with how little backstory I'm being given.

[00Kevin]

yeah, you are right about that. there was no explanation at all, expecially in the first few QoS levels, it was as if the makers of the film only showed the game makers the scenes that needed to become action scenes, and didn't let them into the plot at all
