James Bond: Quantum of Solace

James Bond Qauntum of Solace

I choose agent difficulty if this is anything like call of duty the 007 level will be too much on the later levels.

Mission 1
We see bond shooting Mr white in the leg as seen in the last moments of casino royale. As Mr white and Bond are about to have a nice chat his henchmen turn up and ambush us. We now have to escape the gardens.
left trigger sights down the gun.Right trigger shootsX is reloadY is jumpA is get into and out of cover buttonLeft bumper changes weapons
Little gears of war style garden area. Square area with lots of cover and a set amount of bad guys. Looks good so far everything i like, cover a la Rainbow six and Gears, finite enemies, i hate the every respawning call of duty type enemies.Nice graphics, slick engine.
I get to the gate as directed and there is a button pushing mini game which may as well be quicktime. Not liking much.
Fighting into the boat house we hack into the security cameras, our handler tells us to go through the greenhouses and enter the main house through the cellar.
Through the green houses and in through the cellar to the house.We start finding mobile phones lying around and the contents of their messages give us story clues and also the locations of extra weapons like telling us that there is a shotgun to look out for in the cellar. Have to say the character models for the enemies seem a little bland so far.
We storm through the mansion and find White's safe. The safe is empty but a panel in back leads to a computer server room. We start to hack it but bombs go off and the whole mansion is rocked by explosions.
Running through the mansion which is in flames we have to shoot down White's helicopter and then we see the credits.

Mission 2
It's a bit confused as the story is told on a computer screen with the text of the dialogue coming up as it's spoken and various security jargon flashing all over the place. It looks to me like White has been sprung from interrogation by a traitor in Mi6. Bond is now in pursuit of the traitor and white.We chase the traitor through the sewer systems which are collapsing, they seem to like collapsing things so far in this game. Fairly fun romp through tunnels and some box like shootout areas again.Then there is a shootout while you chase the rogue agent accross rooftops to a bell tower. Lots of scenry damage going on with bells crashing out of the tower and knocking enemies flying. The chase ends up at the top of the tower where the agent ambushes Bond. The fight is in quicktime events, which i detest.why can't we just be left to enjoy cut scenes without having to fucking press random buttons and not concentrate on enjoying the show.After the fight the agent is dead and no use to interrogate now.

Mission 3
Confusing storyline time again. Some bolivian general is introduced and someone called Greene seems to be mixed up in things too.Bond tracks Greene to an opera house, which is closed. Time to investigate.Stealth is introduced here, you have security cameras which swing from side to side. The ones with red lights on will alert the guards. You have to get in when they are facing the opposite way and hack their power boxes.Sneaking and silent kills get you through the backstage area without bringing in lots of enemies.You have a few cameras to disable, so guards to sneak up on and either take out by hand or with silenced gun. Eventually you climb up the stage and get a good vantage point to spy on Greene's meeting where they are discussing the Bolivians.Bond tells them he has caught them, which is sporting i suppose and then you have to take out the snipers that try and get you. The stage then collapses in a cut scene.

Mission 4
There is some confused waffle about the man Greene was with being one of the pm's top men???Bond is told to come in by M but refuses. He goes after Greene who he now knows is planning to help General Medrano take over the Bolivian government in a coup.There is some garbled stuff about Bond and a girl jumping from a plane being attacked by Medrano. The plane is shot down and Bond and the girl parachute away.You now have a shootout with soldiers and they are backed up by helicopters. The helicopters kick up a lot of dust in the riverbed area you are in making things difficult. There are lots of soldiers and lots of opportunities for them to flank you.You go into a cavern and the helicopter crashes. you then go to the downed copter and take its gun and use it on the army of baddies that storm at you.

Day 2
You then flank enemies that are shooting at Camille. The second helicopter shows up and you have to snipe the pilot and gunner to take it down.
Mission 5We go back to the first scene of Casino Royale. Chasing the bomb maker.Only this time we have loads of baddies to shoot at on the chase. A truck with an emplaced gun makes life hard for the first part of the mission running through a shanty town. Then after a short load we are at the construction site.There is a short parkour like scene which borrows ideas from mirrors edge and throws in balancing mini-games, wii has a lot to answer for. The scene is quite fun and reminicent of the film, though i am sure after doing it once i won't be in any hurry to repeat it.
Mission 6We are tracking Dimitros now, the former boyfriend of Vesper and we have found him at a science centre in MiamiFirst we have to take out snipers on the roof using our own sniper rifle. Then make it accross the street and up to the back of the building. Stealth will reward you with less bad guys. A quick fun fight around the back of the building and you start climbing up onto the roof yourself. There is a section where you edge along ledges while a searchlight tries to find you.Up onto the roof for a fun shootout.Boss fight with a helicopter.Inside now for a shootout on catwalks.Damn annoying balancing thing again.Big shootout in the main hall of the museum. Lots of baddies and lots of cover. Lots of fun.

Mission 7
The airport where the saboteur is about to blow up the superjumbo.The baddies have hacked the airport security network and uploaded trojans.we go into the skyfleet offices. Picking up cellphones and stealthily dodging cameras and guards on patrol.We unlock an elevator from a security panel and get in. The elevator collapses and we escape from the roof of it and up the shaft before it hits bottom and explodes.Some sneaking around inside the office to hack into the computer network to get rid of what the baddies have done to it.Shootout in the baggage handling area.Which is long and quite fun.We then have to stop the bomber before he gets to the fuel truck. Simply by shooting him.

Mission 8
We are now on the train where we first met Vesper from Casiono Royale. We have to assassinate the man whoose place we are taking in the poker game. We are clambering around inside and on top of the train and on an adjoining freight train which is keeping station with ours as part of a drugs deal which is taking place.The baddies try and uncouple the train to stop you and you have to jump between trains and carriages to stay alive.The final enocunter with bliss is another bout of shittime.

Mission 9
Now we are in Casino Royale and attempting to stop the the men whoose money le chiffre lost from killing him. A good romp through the hotel wiping out the guards and on to le chiffre's room where we have a quicktime fight on the stairs like in the movie.We now have to escape the casino to our car to defibrilate ourselves, wandering around drunk and delirous in the casino. Eventually you get to the car and Vesper saves you.

Mission 10
You are trying to rescue Vesper at the barge. You are in a warehouse overlooking it and take shots at men appearing from the barge as vesper makes a break for freedom. An old style shooting gallery with plenty of explosives to shoot at for fireworks. The problem is you have to watch out for Vesper.Now you have to storm the full length of the barge and rescue Vesper.This is quite a hard fight.Eventually you reach the end and you watch a cut scene showing the events of Casino Royale on the Barge.

Mission 11
VeniceYou start by finding out in cut scene about Vesper stealing the treasuary money and set out to follow her as she makes the delivery to the baddies.You follow Vesper for a bit until you reach a courtyard where you have a shootout with loads of enemies.Then a little environment puzzle with that damn balancing act thing.We follow Vesper to her meeting with Gettler, some ledge balancing stealth again.Sneaking into the collapsing building.Bond can't swim? The water level rises as you progress.Eventually you get to Vesper and are attacked by Gettler who takes only one headshot to kill.

Mission 12 Eco Hotel
We see Bond telling the story to Camille and the flashback to Casino Royale is over. We see Bond being scolded by M and Arrested. He escapes and goes after Medrano?I am sure the plot makes more sense in the movie.We are now at the Eco hotel looking to kill Greene and Medrano.The shootout in the car park is hard but fun. We then start moving through the hotel shooting as we go. The game likes explosions and the whole place is coming apart at the seams. You have to shoot fire extinguishers which puts out fire in strategic places for you to advance.You seem to be chasing Greene but you catch up with Camille and Medrano first. She is about to be killed by him and you shoot out an explosive barrel behind him which distracts him long enough for Camille to get her revenge.Now we are going after Greene.We have another damn annoying balancing act then down the hall to a large balconied room for a shootout and Greene joins in. We kill him and it's game over.

Completed first playthrough on Agent Level.360 achievement points probably about 15 hours.
