Halo, Call of Duty and Gears are overrated when they are standard shooters themselves.

User Rating: 8 | 007: Quantum of Solace X360
Quantum of Solace is not as bad as critics are stating; in fact, I might as well say that it stacks up to Gears and Halo pretty well. The single player is short, but very fun. I'm not sure how much of the movie is actually incorporated into this game, but all of the actors' voices are used and the action pack thrill of Bond movies are used throughout the game. The bad thing about the single player game is that Bond doesn't really have any cool gadgets and there aren't any cool car chasing scenes, so the player doesn't really feel like a spy, just another Rambo shooting almost every character on the screen. About the only thing really spy like thing Bond does in this game is hack doors and monitoring systems. Whoopie!

Once you've finished the single player portion of the game, the multiplayer portion is where one turns to for the replay value. It has all of the standard modes you'll find in almost every shooter (yes, that includes Gears, Call of Duty and Halo). Maybe the only down side is that it doesn't include any co-op modes, which Gears of War and Halo provide.

This game is like many of the other shooters out on the market with a short single player and a standard multiplayer portion.
