Thinking about picking this up , seems like a good old no nonsense action game, anyone bought it? and your thoughts pls

That bad eh?

I was tempted to get it, just as something to pass the time, but the GT review doesn't rate it much - says it's a rental at best.

It looks very bland, visually. Like they've just used a single colour filter for the entire game.

I thought it looked alright, it looks like a clone of the new splinter cell in a way, and that wasn't too bad visually.

Hey ho, I still have a shed load of games to play, maybe it'll be a bargain bin pick up in a year or so

well i picked it up. actually its superb visually,gameplay is a bit by the numbers, but really good, cover sytem etc, excellent
Voice acting top notch, typical bond game full of great set pieces and a lot of fun

oh i forgot, if you do try it, play on hardest setting its way too easy

I was going to get it but too many A list games have came out recently, Blacks Ops is the biggy

Has anyone here played this yet? Is it decent?

AHarvey · 15 Jan 2011 at 13:43

it's the latest Bond game isn't it? (can you tell it made an impression?)

I thought it was a typical boring fps.

I thought it was one of the best games I've played this year at least.

Yes, you will need to go on the hardest setting, but its enjoyable. The movement/cover system/aiming + shooting mechanics are very fluid. They remind me of Uncharted in terms of the feel.

Visually, looks good for sure. More detail than a lot of the 'big' games bother to put in.

I prefer 3rd person shooters over first person like COD et al.

Hand to hand combat is simple yet very pleasing also.

This still using the same call of duty engine as the last bond game?

I quite enjoyed QoS, will probably rent Bloodstone soon.

One thing I have heard is that the multiplayer is dead.
