James Bond continues his comeback with this action title based on the blockbuster that blends first and third person combat.

As this is Bond’s first visit to current generation hardware, Quantum of Solace follows the events of both the blockbuster of the same name and its predecessor Casino Royale, telling the story of how James Bond became the 007 we know and love. The edge of the new Bond films transfers to the title, and the likenesses and voices of actors from both films are used, including Judy Dench and Daniel Craig. Locations from each from film are also on offer, from the Casino Royale in Montenegro to the countryside of Madagascar.

Taking cues from other modern action titles, Bond is no longer limited to a first person perspective. James can jump in and out of cover, switching between a first person perspective for combat and third person while taking cover. While in cover, James is able to fire while protected or lay down covering fire to help distract enemies. These enemies act as more than just cannon fodder, outflanking players and finding cover as they fight.

Quantum of Solace finally gives Bond a presence on current consoles, blending cover-based combat with a traditional first person shooting.
