Amazon.co.uk Review
There never was a video game of
Casino Royale
, but now Activision is making up for lost time with a title that incorporates both
Casino Royale
and its immediate sequel,
Quantum of Solace
. Its primarily a first-person shooter, but it does switch to an over-the-shoulder view when hiding under cover or taking part in interactive cut scenes.
Daniel Craig is a big games fan and has taken a personal interest in the game
Almost everything in the game can be destroyed or damaged
Stealth is just as important as gunplay when youre James Bond
Close combat switches out of first person view for a more cinematic effect
Just like the Bond movies, the game offers a mixture of action and stealth, with the chance to take down enemies instantly if they dont see you. Youll almost always be outgunned, but youre given clues as to which strategy to take by the changing music.
Bond's aresenal has been slimmed down in the new films, so it makes sense that there arent many gadgets in the game. There is an online multiplayer mode that pays homage to past classic Bond games such as
GoldenEye 007
. Which should hopefully make Bonds video game comeback as successful as his cinematic return.
