Players take the role of the darker, grittier James Bond in Quantum of

Solace, the first 007 game from publisher Activision. Following Daniel

Craig's portrayal of a violent, driven Bond, the young MI6 agent's

methods may be messy, but he is ultimately effective. Gameplay features

plenty of gun-fighting and hand-to-hand combat, as well as surveillance

and stealth sequences. The game is built on Infinity Ward's Call of Duty

4 game engine, and features similar graphical quality, third-person

cut-aways, and enemy AI.

The setting and story of Quantum of

Solace are based directly on the movies, both Casino Royale and its

sequel, which shares the game's title and autumn 2008 release.

Developers re-created locations from both films, based on thousands of

photos. All main characters have the likenesses and voices of their

cinematic counterparts, including Craig as Bond and Olga Kurylenko as

Camille, plus Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Eva Green, and Mads Mikkelsen

in their respective roles.
