Surprisingly good
When a multi-console game, especially a tie-in for a movie, gets released, the PS2 usually ends up with a watered down port. While Quantum of Solace for the PS2 may not be anywhere as technically powerful as its next-gen counterparts, it instead takes a whole new spin on the game. Instead of using a first-person view like the next-gen versions, the PS2 Quantum of Solace instead uses a third-person, over the shoulder viewpoint, which works quite well to its advantage. Incorporating some stealth missions helps the game's case as well, as this PS2 version ends up feeling reminiscent of the pretty good From Russia With Love game from EA that came out a few years back. For a late in life PS2 game, Quantum of Solace looks and plays pretty well, despite a few technical bugs. The only real flaw with Quantum of Solace is that the game is quite, quite short; and once you finish it, there isn't anything left to do. No extras or even a multiplayer mode are included, which is a big disappointment. Still, the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace is a surprisingly good game while it lasts, and even more surprising is how better it is than its next-gen version brethren. Definitely worth checking out if you're still holding on to your PS2 and are a Bond fan or craving some pretty decent action.
Short, But Better Than Expected
I'm not a very big fan of video games based upon movies. I often find these games boring because they typically follow the plot of the film they are based upon. I prefer playing games that are more original. Therefore, I was a bit reluctant to try QUANTUM OF SOLACE. After having played the game through, I can say I am pleasantly surprised. QUANTUM OF SOLACE combines some of the key action scenes from the movies QUANTUM OF SOLACE and CASINO ROYALE. The general storyline of the game follows QUANTUM OF SOLACE, but fills in certain elements not seen in the movie. About half-way through the game, the storyline flashbacks to six months earlier and follows the general storyline of CASINO ROYALE. Once that has been completed, the last scenes of the game once again follow parts of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
The game uses a third-person point of view, but instead of viewing the action from overhead or from a side angle the view point is seen over Bond's shoulder. It's an interesting vantage that I've not seen before in a game that seems to mix the best of both a first-person shooter game and a usual third-person point of view game. The game is fairly easy to play and includes a walkthrough level at the beginning.
There are three settings of difficulty. The first two modes are easy enough for anyone to play through, but the 007 mode is incredibly difficult. In attempting to play the 007 setting, neither my brother nor I could make it past the walkthrough level. In 007 you have to be incredibly stealthy and accurate; if you get shot more than twice you are dead.
The game is very short. I'm just a casual gamer and was able to play through the entire game in about four hours. This can be a good thing, but because of the initial cost of the game it's kind of bummer. Also, the game has no extras, e.g. there is no multi-player modes, no replayable videos and cut scenes. Even the segments between levels are just pictures of the characters with a map and voiceovers; no video. Therefore, the game doesn't have much replay value except in playing and beating the game in the more difficult settings.
Overall, QUANTUM OF SOLACE is a decent PS2 game. In its initial offering, I'd recommend renting the game to play unless you are a huge James Bond fan. Otherwise, just rent for now and if you want to buy wait a couple of months until the price drops.
Better than next-gen counterpart
This game was a suprise to me. I have had the PS3 version since it was released and had beaten it three times, and really enjoyed it. Then I heard from IGN that this version of the game was better and I decided to pick it up. They were right.
This PS2 version had more of Bond atmosphere then the PS3 version. You enter the mind of James Bond. The cover system is much more acurate and thought out. It is easy to switch cover and kill enemies at will. The graphics are pretty good for PS2 game, and do not distract from the overall game. The coolest part is the boss battles. They are as epic as the iconic hero. And if you sneak up behind someone and enter the button combination a movie comes up of Bond killing the bad guy. It adds a movie like quality that the game needed. The only con would be the aiming system, but once you get used to it it's no problem.
I am not saying the PS3 version is bad I really loved both, but the PS2 version captured the essence of Bond while the PS3 version was more of a COD FPS with James Bond. The bottom line is try out both these titles to compare. You will love and cherish them both. They both fall a little short from the franchise benchmark Goldeneye, but are very entertaining.
