Licence Revoked is ironically the perfect title, if EON don't still think us Yanks have no idea what the hell that means. ;)
May go back to it next year, but not fussed to be honest. The multi player option to me was not much different than Goldeneye reloaded and even that could not hold my attention.
The play mechanics are no worse than GE:Reloaded but the multiplayer is terrible. Everything jerks around and the servers seem to struggle with even 8 players present. Heaven help them if the lobbies ever fill up!
Campaign is more like Call Of Duty visits the Bond sets. It's definitely not Bond in that sense.
I don't think Legends used the CoD engine, I believe it was Eurocoms proprietary engine.
'Quantum of Solace' does? I've always thought about going back to it on the 360. I tried it one time and I instantly got into a match, but being on the PS3 probably doesn't help; any old game I returned to on that seemed to have little to no matchmaking. I played 'GE: Reloaded' a month after its release and found (literally) two other people online.
'QoS' was such fun, and was probably one of the more entertaining Bond games I played online when it was released. Spent my entire Christmas break when it came out playing it.
I tried not too far back to get on to QoS's multiplayer and the game freezes at the multiplayer screen, forcing me to restart the game. So I can't even get into the matchmaking in the first place.
That's how I feel - current generation, it's by far my favorite. And yes, that's what I heard when I initially did research when I had interest in returning to the game: most people only play a certain few game modes. Personally, I preferred Bond Evasion, but TDM was always nice, as well.
Yes, I did.
At least it didn't mixed up the whole story like GE2010 did.
When QOS was released, we were used to better Bond games like EON and FRWL and also COD4 was huge and since it was using that engine, QOS was very hyped. When it failed to meet that hype, it was considered a dissapoinment. That being said in retrospect, the game was very fun and much better than 007 Legends in many aspects
Completely concordable, Bondbat. MANY aspects make QoS a better game than Legends.
'Funnier,' or did you mean it was more fun?
And Silva isn't even mentioned at all, or his attempts on M's life. Activision and Eurocom deserved what they got.
I mean don't get me wrong, it is a pretty entertaining and fun-filled game, but only the first or second time around. Beyond that, you get into the classic Activision scenario where the gameplay becomes quite generic and yawn-worthy. The only exceptions to that rule are Blood Stone and Quantum of Solace, though there are occasions where even the latter dips its Foot into the pool of boredom.
Activision should, however, have given them 2 years and better license support to make the game more authentic. THere are nice ideas in there. The investigation and stealth sections show promise but could have been so much deeper and more involving. They should have gone after the license to allow all the Bond likenesses to be used and made each section suit the filme better, not just be another CoD clone. And could they not have asked Jaguar nicely to use the XKR? Whatever that green thing is in the DAD section, it's hideously badly modelled!
They should also just have dropped the Skyfall section. Istanbul is very short and the motorbike chase is pretty dire. Completely on rails and just a case of dodging left and right while holding down R1. Shanghai, as I said, is a joke.
