History VideoGame / QuantumOfSolace

The "main" version of the game is a FirstPersonShooter with third-person cover shooting developed by Treyarch (of ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' fame, whose engine was used for the game) for UsefulNotes/Xbox360, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, and the PC. A modified port of the Treyarch version was developed by Beenox for the less powerful hardware and unique control system of the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. A completely separate ThirdPersonShooter was developed by Eurocom for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. Another separate ThirdPersonShooter was made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS by Vicarious Visions.

** Plenty of the weapon names are based off past films such as the [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove FRWL]], [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} [=GF17=]]], [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} [=GF18=]]], [[Film/LiveAndLetDie MK3 LLD]], [[Film/{{Moonraker}} A3 Raker]], [[Film/{{Octopussy}} 8-CAT]], [[Film/AViewToAKill V-TAK 31]], [[Film/TheLivingDaylights TLD 22]], [[Film/LicenceToKill LTK Super Magnum]], [[Film/TomorrowNeverDies TND 16]], [[Film/DieAnotherDay D.A.D.-System]], and [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 CR1911 .45]].

* AKA47: As is usual for Bond games, the guns are all given "legally distinct" names from their real-life versions. Bond's Walther [=P99=] is a noteable exception, being given its real name (perhaps to better explain why it has replaced his iconic [=PPK=]).

* GenreShift: Like the films it's based on, the game is grittier and more realistic than ''[[VideoGame/DoubleOhSevenFromRussiaWithLove From Russia with Love]]'' or the preceding [[UsefulNotes/TheSixthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 6th generation]] Brosnan-era games (which had evil clones, [[JustForFun/RecycledINSPACE SPAAAAAACE]], nanomachines, and a cyborg eye with electromagnetic magic powers as their central premises).
* LimitedLoadout: You can carry 2 guns, as well as 007's Walther [=P99=] (a more modern 9mm handgun replacing his Cold War era compact [=PPK=] in more modern films). The [=P99=] is always available to you, but you can run out of ammo for it and enemies don't drop ammo for it, so it's best not to use it too much when you can.
* MoreDakka: An M60 machine gun is the biggest, baddest weapon Bond can get his hands on in this game. It has very high rate of fire and ammo capacity, and can kill enemies in 1 shot. It's usually found hidden in out-of-the-way areas as a reward for exploration.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The main Treyarch version of the game is built on the same engine as the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty4ModernWarfare'' series and feels a lot like the ''Call of Duty'' series.

* TakeCover: The game was made after ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' and ''VideoGame/RainbowSixVegas'' and takes clear inspiration from them regarding the cover and aiming system, unlike earlier Bond ThirdPersonShooter games like ''VideoGame/EverythingOrNothing'' and ''[[VideoGame/DoubleOhSevenFromRussiaWithLove From Russia with Love]]'' which had more of an early 2000's ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' control scheme. Cover is pretty important as enemies with assault rifles can shred you in a second if you're out of cover; however, blindfire is ''absurdly'' accurate in this game so it's pretty easy to kill Mooks without even popping out of cover.

''Quantum of Solace'' is a 2008 FirstPersonShooter (ThirdPersonShooter for the [=PS2=] version) adaptation of the Creator/DanielCraig era Film/JamesBond films ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' and ''[[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Casino Royale]]''. It is the first major Bond video game for the Daniel Craig era, the first developed for [[UsefulNotes/TheSeventhGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 7th Generation consoles]], as well as the first game to be published by Creator/{{Activision}}, who took over the Bond video game license from Creator/ElectronicArts after 2005's ''VideoGame/DoubleOhSevenFromRussiaWithLove''. The game was developed concurrently with the ''Quantum of Solace'' film and most of the cast of the films returns to reprise their roles, including Daniel Craig as the voice and face of 007.

** In the [=PS2=] version, the enemies with helmets and ballistic vests appear similar to Dr. No's medium-armored troops in ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeRogueAgent''.

* ReformulatedGame: While the Wii version is mostly the Xbox 360[=/=]Playstation 3[=/=]PC version modified for the Wii's less powerful hardware and unique nunchuck controls, the Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS versions are completely different games. The Playstation 2 version has the same plot, voice lines, and general level design as the Treyarch version, but completely different controls, map layouts, enemy A.I.[=/=]animations, etc.

* CutsceneBoss: Most major opponents such as Mitchell, General Obanno, and Gettler are [[PressXToNotDie Quick Time Event]] fights, with the only normal gameplay boss fight being Greene himself in the Treyarch version, and even then he's more of a short PuzzleBoss. Averted with Dimitrios, who fights you in normal gameplay, but is no tougher than any other Mook (other than being armed with a rare Calico submachine gun) and goes down to a short burst of automatic fire, with so little fanfare you might not even realize he was the dude from the film. In the [=PS2=] version he's a full boss fight. Kratt, Le Chiffre's bald bodyguard, also fights you in gameplay at the end of the Barge; he's got 100% accuracy and a machine gun, but doesn't have enhanced health and is also positioned next to a number of explosive barrels. Like Dimitrios, you're apt to kill him so quickly you don't realize he's a named character.

* EliteMooks: Enemies wearing balaclavas and body armor show up if you trigger an alarm, and are slightly tougher and possibly more skilled than regular Mooks, though only able to survive 1 more bullet compared to regular Mooks.

* AdaptationalBadass: Dimitrios, Le Chiffre's bagman for the airport bombing, and Greene's assistant Elvis are both full-on boss fights in the [=PS2=] version. Also in the [=PS2=] version, Greene himself is a much longer shootout boss, in contrast to the much shorter PuzzleBoss he is in the main Treyarch version.
