"Quantum of" Skidishness

Quantum of Solace isn't just about the latest James Bond film; this game covers Casino Royal, too.
But when it comes to light gun games, not many players are interested in the story - and indeed, the game play and cut scenes don't relate much to each other.
What players are looking for is the joy of shooting the bad guys over several levels.
Here, Quantum of Solace works well - the lock on system finds many enemies with the push of a button, the shooting from behind a barrier is done well (considering this is the first time I've seen this feature for the Wii console).
But, there are glitches - sometimes the lock on locks on to an object when I wanted to lock onto a person. Sometimes it locks onto nothing at all.
Another problem is the controls get very jerky at the worst times - when I'm taking on several enemies at once. The makers of this game haven't quiet calibrated the Wiimote.
And the path from point A to point B can get very tricky and tiresome - prompts can be missed and ledges that Bond can shimmy across can be overlooked.
Still, Quantum of Solace gives a lot of gunning action, and to repeat myself, that's what a lot of players of this genre are looking for.
Rent Quantum of Solace and give it a try for yourself.
