About this game

007: Quantum of Solace is a James Bond video game based on the films Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Several versions of the game were released across seven platforms, with the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC versions designed as first-person shooters and the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS versions as third-person shooters. It is powered by the Call of Duty 4 game engine. The core gameplay in Quantum of Solace is that of a first-person shooter. Throughout the game, however, the view switches to third person to emphasize that the player is playing as James Bond. This third-person view is used with a cover system and quick time events, among other scenarios. An example is using quick-time events to chase Mollaka during a level that recreates the construction-site chase at the beginning of the Casino Royale film.

Bond meets Vesper Lynd, an accountant from the Treasury, on his way to Montenegro. After their meeting, Bond fights off dealers from a drug organization that is spread throughout the train, kills the boss who was invited to the Casino Royale game by Le Chiffre, and replaces him in the game (a notable difference from the film). After combat, Bond arrives in Montenegro, where he comes face to face with Le Chiffre. After defeating Le Chiffre in the poker game, Vesper is kidnapped. Bond pursues the kidnappers but crashes his car and is taken hostage. He escapes and battles through Le Chiffre's barge to rescue Vesper. While he is successful, Bond and Vesper are recaptured by Le Chiffre's bodyguards. Near death, they are saved when Mr. White kills Le Chiffre for his recent actions, leaving Bond and Vesper alive.
