Just finished playing through the game based on the latest Bond-movie. Usually I don't make much note of the franchised games, they tend to be weird games that feel very odd (Latest Batman and Wolverine-games are said to be different too). QoS tickled my interest because a video-review (IGN I believe) said that it was based on the Call of Duty 4-engine and was surprisingly good if not a bit uneven. I found it for cheap, 12 euros, via huuto.net which is kind of like the local eBay over in Finland.
In short, the game is worth 12 euros and you too can probably find it cheap on sale or second hand. The gameplay is a slightly modified and less polished version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. There are less guns but better support for stealth attacks and hand to hand combat. You can also dodge behind cover, much like in Gears of War. The story is more Casino Royale than Quantum of Solace but thats only a good thing. The story and levels aren't as polished as COD4 but passable, some of them are uneven though. The COD4 gameplay is a lot of fun and if you are a fan of it and want new challenges the QOS should suit you. Personally I love COD4, both Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 but don't play games online so something with new maps is excellent. Took me 2 pretty long evenings to save the Bolivian's from drought, well worth the price.
