007 Quantum of Solace for PlayStation 3
007 Quantum of Solace for PlayStation 3 is an action game following James Bond through events from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Daniel Craig's portrayal of the secret agent forms the basis for the protagonist. You explore locations from the films and fight guards with firearms, stealth attacks and close combat. The story takes you through successive missions alternating pursuits and confrontations, without requiring you to travel across an open world.
While moving and aiming, you usually see through Bond's eyes. When you take cover, the view shifts to third person, showing him sheltering behind a wall or object. From this position, you assess where opponents are and when you can move to the next safe spot. You can approach a situation cautiously, but a failed stealth attack can also turn into a firefight. Your position and the moment you emerge then determine how much risk you take.
You play the story campaign alone. Combining two films also gives Casino Royale a substantial role, despite the title on the box. This PS3 version predominantly uses a first-person perspective; the separately developed PlayStation 2 release has a different structure. You do not need another player to complete Bond's main story.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
007 Quantum of Solace for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of 007 Quantum of Solace
Activision released 007 Quantum of Solace in Europe in October 2008, alongside the new Bond film. Treyarch developed the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Other studios handled the remaining platform versions, so the same title did not deliver the same game everywhere. For PS3, Treyarch chose a shooter combining the film story with a separate system for taking cover behind objects. This change of perspective is a distinctive part of this release.
It was the first Bond game for these consoles to centre on Daniel Craig's portrayal of the agent. The developers incorporated not only the latest film but also returned to Casino Royale. This allowed events from Bond's earlier mission to become playable assignments. The technology built on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, adapted for Bond's world. Silent takedowns and close combat were also intended to have a place alongside conventional shooting.
The later PS3 games Blood Stone and GoldenEye 007 Reloaded each took another approach to the same secret agent. Blood Stone received an original story and a third-person perspective, while Reloaded reinterpreted GoldenEye. Quantum of Solace instead preserves a direct connection with Craig's first two films. The distinction between platform versions matters here: the PS3 disc contains Treyarch's interpretation, not the different campaign Eurocom created for PlayStation 2.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
James Bond 007: Blood Stone on PlayStation 3 also features Daniel Craig's Bond and cover-based combat. However, you remain in third person and also control vehicles during pursuits. Quantum of Solace ties its missions to two films and alternates the regular first-person view with a separate camera while taking cover.
GoldenEye 007 Reloaded on PlayStation 3 also offers first-person Bond action, with opportunities to get past guards quietly. It reworks the GoldenEye story with Craig in the leading role and also includes separate MI6 challenges. Quantum of Solace draws on Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and makes prominent use of its third-person cover view.
The Bourne Conspiracy on PlayStation 3 follows another secret agent fighting his way through a conspiracy with gunfire and fistfights. You view the action from outside the character, and using the environment in combat plays a larger role. Quantum of Solace more often has you aim through Bond's eyes and keeps the cinematic 007 world at its centre.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on PlayStation 3 shares Quantum of Solace's technical foundation and direct first-person aiming. Its military story uses different soldiers and larger-scale operations. Bond focuses on a single agent, espionage missions and a cover system that shows the protagonist from outside.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on PlayStation 3 also alternates chases and shootouts with cinematic scenes. Nathan Drake climbs and jumps through his surroundings much more and remains visible in third person. Quantum of Solace features a secret agent and a predominantly first-person camera, making aiming and the transition into cover feel different.
