007: Quantum of Solace - PlayStation 2 (2008)
0This is one of the games I was a little worried about when it came to the demo reel. Not necessarily this game, but games like it. Long tutorial, slow burn, cinema heavy games meant for the sixth gen and beyond...it's not really a great fit. It's gonna get copyright claimed instantly and it's kind of a boring game as it is. There's nothing good to show here. I apologize for the controls, but it seemed to get better when I turned up the sensitivity a bit too late in the game. It's got a crazy dead zone and then it shoots off, making it hard to aim.
It's just not very intuitive. It's the whole reason why Uncharted was as great as it was. It took what was once a complicated slog of a third person control scheme and made it into something far more natural and refined. Not only that, but the game shows a lot of age in some strange ways. The other QOL comparison is that you have to manually switch your shoulder cam. Wow.
And...can you imagine that Daniel Craig was a PS2 Bond? Feel the age, people.
Not a great combo when the game offers no real fun and a lot of comparisons to how we have it so much better today.
