Video game royalty in terms of movie tie-in games, the 007 films have spawned a surprising amount of great shooters, with Night-fire, Secret Agent and Goldeneye being some of my favourites. Unfortunately, after the 360 generation, the fairly constant stream of 007 game releases seems to have dried up, so these 360 releases are some of the most recent games for Bond fans. This one is based on the movie of the same name, which I barely remember, featuring the likenesses of Bond and I presume all the other characters. I have to admit I wasn't really interested in the story, I was mainly looking for a nice short FPS campaign, and that is exactly what I got. QoS is not going to blow you away, but it is a very decent shooter. It has a nice variety of detailed levels and a story to move the action along and explain what you are doing in each location. The gameplay itself is really fun. It blends first person shooting with some third person cover action and the good level of difficulty and decent AI make it work well. There are some collectables here and there but it isn't too complicated. It gives off a nice and simple Night-fire style feel and is a nice change from modern games without feeling dated or archaic. My only major complaint is the controls, which were unresponsive and a little frustrating but didn't ruin the fun. This one is a great shout for FPS fans, bond fans and in general people who enjoy a nice short linear campaign with a decent story. Grab it.
