007: Quantum of Solace Inquiry - Blu-ray Forum

vladittude0583 · 05-01-2009, 11:18 PM

Hey guys, I am thinking of picking up a copy of 007: Quantum of Solace (PS3) at Best Buy, however, I am not sure if this game is really worth it even though its on sale at $9.99. For those of you that own it or have played it, what can you tell me about the storyline, controls, game play, etc? Thanks.

I've heard it's VERY short/repetitive. I wouldn't buy it.

I had it and liked it...its short but for 9.99 worth it.

Notice OP that he said HAD. Maybe that should be a hint of warning to you.

I just bought it for $10 and think it was worth the cash. I'm not about to tell you it's Killzone 2 or something, but I'm not mad that I spent the $10 (has trophies too).

The downside for me was that it focused too much on Casino Royale and not enough on QoS.

And I really hate when a game's AI knows your exact location no matter what. At times I'd hear "we're taking fire, send backup" despite not being in the "room" really and not firing a shot.

However, there was a nice mix of weapons and situations.

I'd give the game about a 6-7 out of 10, which is well above $10 status.

Finished the game on newb setting (not sure why) and it took probably 7 hours. I'll be playing it again on 007 setting for the trophies.

The only game at BB that probably isn't even worth $10 is Hail to the Chimp.

And Jericho. Don't forget Jericho (well, since it's not worth $10, maybe you should).

Oh and I don't care for overlord but I hear their are people that like it.

Anyway, my haul from the BB was:

- Singstar Country Bundle (w/ two mics and USB converter)
- Singstar Vol. 2
- Singstar ABBA

All for $30 (a normal Singstar game is $40 and the bundle with mics is $60). I must have saved $100-$200 dollars easily.

I MIGHT get 007 tomorrow because of the trophies and because it is $6 around here to rent a game so why not buy it for that price. Anyway, is it sad that now that games have trophies/achievements I now find myself not wanting to play the ones that don't as much anymore?

I also sold my ps3 and got a stand alone...i'm not really a repeat gamer or a big gamer in general.

Hey guys, I just checked Best Buy's website and it only lists the XBox 360 version for $9.99 whereas the PS3 version is $29.99? I also went to my local Best Buy to purchase the PS3 version and it too costs $29.99. Hence, is it only the XBox 360 version that is on sale?

The PS3 version that is on sale at BB for $9.99 is the special edition that comes with the T-shirt. It is odd that it is this version that is on special. The game by itself is not on sale. I got lucky and picked up 2 copes of 007 QoS, both in a box with the black T-shirt. I think the game is quite good. The single person game is good and the online has quite a few maps and game modes. For $10.00 it is a steal if you like shoot games. It is no CoD but I think it is a decent game.

Yes, only the special editions are on sale- although it's not so special, all you get is a shirt.

And I just realized you are in my PS3 friend's list.

Did't even make the connection.

It plays similar to rsv only not as well done.

Jack Torrance · 05-04-2009, 02:38 AM

My son bought it a few months ago when it was on sale for $39 at Target.

It wasn't worth it at that price.

For $10, it is however.

I hope the next Bond game is a helluva lot better.

SoCalTiger · 05-04-2009, 03:19 AM

I got it for $9.99 and I LOVE it. I have spent almost 20 hours on the MP game alone. Honestly, I like 007 MP more than COD4 MP.
