Solace Not Included

A solid but forgettable First / Third Person Shooter that covers the first two Craig films, and essentially plays like Modern Warfare or Black Ops, with quick-timed so called "takedowns", gadgets and weapons and everything else you'd expect from a James Bond title. You chase and fight bad guys, hack some things, collect some phones, drive some vehicles, woo some ladies..you know, agent stuff.

A few nice looking levels and some cinematic moments show flashes of ambition from the developers, but briefings and load screens are boring, with most areas being dull, repetitive and somewhat uninspired. Starting some levels will have you go "Nice!", and sometimes you get to an area that'll have you let out a deep sigh.

Not too bad of an effort for what it is, although we were used to Bond games being pretty darn good, at times, but I guess even MI6 can miss. I remember Online Multiplayer popping off and having a great community at the time, with maps and modes being pretty substantial. Other than that it does not enter any Hall of Fame.
