Quantum of Solace

Synopsis

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 the DS 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 rough and ready feel of the new Bond films transfers to the title, and the likenesses and voices of actors from both films are used, such as Daniel Craig. Locations from each from are also on offer, from the Casino Royale in Montenegro to the countryside of Madagascar.

The DS version of this title makes its cue from action titles such as Ninja Gaiden - Dragon Sword, by giving players control of their main character almost entirely with the touch screen. The DS is turned on its side, giving players a top down view of the action alongside a 3D perspective. A mix of both stealth and combat must be used for players to navigate through each stage, avoiding confrontation where possible.

Quantum of Solace finally gives Bond a presence on current handhelds with a unique play style and innovative stylus use.
