Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace (Wii)

I am a Bond freak, and I'm pretty exciting to be reviewing one of the best Bond games on the market, and one of the best Wii FPS's out there, even though there are few.

"The best bond game since Goldeneye" was pretty darn close. Quantum of Solace is a first person/third person hybrid shooter, which has you use an array of weapons, grenades, and takedowns to advance through single player. Whenever you crouch behind a wall or an object, it switches into third person and you can see Bond. Quantum of Solace consists of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace so you get to play through both movies! Let me tell you, the missions are very interesting, fun, and makes you think becuase, after all, Bond's greatest weapon is his mind. The AI is also very intelligent and will do anything to kill you.

The multiplayer is a blast if you have four friends. Otherwise, stick to single player and online. It's great for parties and gatherings, though, and for your Xbox lover friends who only play FPS's.

The real fun of the game comes in the online mode. Using Nintendo WFC, you can connect online and play a free for all or an objective race in teams or alone. It is the best part of the game I'll tell you that. I only wish you could play with up to 8 people. The levels are designed for more than 4 players (which is the max), but I don't know why the developers chose only 4 at a time? I guess lagginess or something, but 4 players was still a blast.

The controls are really simple and are great to pick up & play. I'd recommend using the Wiimote and Nunchuck and not the Zapper. The control is harder with the Zapper. With B to shoot and A to crouch, you'll be on your way to 007 in no time!

Overall, Quantum of Solace is, in my opinion, the second best Bond game since Goldeneye. The first being Nightfire. I loved that game.

Pros:
Good Wii FPS
Strong Controls
Nice Wi-Fi

Cons:
Short Campaign
Only 4 Players Online

Overall:
7.5/10
