of Solace" Orders
Developed under license from EON Productions Ltd and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios Inc. (MGM), the Quantum of Solace video game equips
players with the
weapons, espionage and hand-to-hand combat skills and overall charm needed to
survive the covert lifestyle of legendary 007 secret agent James
Bond.
"Activision's Quantum of Solace video game marks the first
time players can become the newly re-imagined, dangerous and
cunningly efficient James Bond as portrayed by Daniel Craig," said
Rob Kostich, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision
Publishing. "We're
extremely pleased to release the game day and date with the new
movie,
so for those of us waiting for the new era in Bond gaming, Quantum
of Solace
has arrived."
The Quantum of Solace video game balances a
unique variety of gameplay elements, blending intense first-person
action with
a new third-person cover combat system, enabling players to strategically
choose
the best combat tactics for each situation. As James Bond, gamers
must
intelligently manoeuvre each challenge, identifying the best
course of action
while incapacitating
enemies through silent, sneaky covert operations
or full force, guns-blazing confrontations. Further, the Quantum
of Solace video game features the return of fan favourite Bond
multiplayer
action, allowing gamers to experience a multitude of maps based
on authentic
locations from the "Quantum of Solace" and "Casino
Royale" films
and beyond. Based on the renowned Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
game engine with systems specifically engineered to immerse players
in the Bond universe,
the Quantum
of Solace video game delivers superior high-definition
graphics, reactive AI and visually stunning locations inspired
by locales
portrayed in the latest films.
To celebrate the releases of the Quantum of Solace and Guitar
Hero World Tour video games, Bond aficionados and rock stars
alike will be able to download and play "Another Way to
Die," the
new Quantum of Solace movie theme song performed by Jack White
and Alicia
Keys, in Guitar Hero World Tour. The track will be available
on Xbox LIVE Marketplace
for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft
for 160 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation Store for the
PS3 for $1.99 on November 7th, 2008.

the Xbox 360 PS3.

by Beenox Studios. The Nintendo DS version was developed by
Vicarious Visions and
the PS2 version by Eurocom. The
