SlapStic.com's regular contributor Scott Meador gives us this fantastic review of the newest 007 game. Is it the true successor to Goldeneye, or is it just another movie game? Find out here.

From the outset of the story, you get the feeling that you aren't going to truly "run and gun" your way through this game, but Quantum of Solace doesn't go so far as to be the Gears of War 2 "stop and pop" either; there are situations where you can't just run in kill everyone and leave the bodies in your wake as you run out the room. Stealth does play a factor in the game as well (achievements please), and sneaking around feels correct in the spots where it needs to. The silent kills are pretty brutal, despite some of them not "feeling" like you are killing or disabling anyone. The gun play is nice, and there are many different types of weapons to use and find through the levels. The sniper rifle, as in most FPS's, is my favorite.

    I saw the movie yesterday and thought it was pretty hard to follow. I doubt this game has the same problem. It seems to me like a game for a hardcore JB fan, one in which you can happily do cool secret agent stuff in.

    Phwoar! I'm going to be getting this just because you play as Daniel Craig! So goddamn sexy...I wish I was his Bond girl But I really hope it's a good game, and not just a knock off with shitty shoot outs and stealth action.

    Hmm, well if they are comparing it to Goldeneye I may have to rent it out to see if it is any good.
