Forums - Nintendo - Quamtum of Solace Scores 4.5 on IGN

FaithRaven on 04 November 2008
5.0 Presentation
Menus and interface all look fine, but even the transition videos (taken from 360/PS3) run with frame skips.
4.5 Graphics
Some decent models and animations team with some of the worst environments we've seen on Wii. The water, backgrounds, and levels are pretty abysmal. Frame issues make it nearly unplayable.
7.0 Sound
Most of the audio from the other versions stay in tact. The score and VO is all very professional, but some of the sound effects are a bit underwhelming.
4.0 Gameplay
Nearly unplayable at times due to frame issues. At its best, the game is a rough 30 with drops. At its worst, about two or three frames a second. IR is slow as well, and hurts game flow.
3.5 Lasting Appeal
There's online, a full story mode, and local multiplayer, but the game's tech results in a weak overall offering. Online can be fun, though simple, but the main game is pretty crippled.
4.5
Poor		 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Not that great I guess ...

Such a shame, that site was hyping that game so bad and now this. Reviewers are not to be trusted. They hype a game in previews and then when the actual game is nearing release they either give a good or awful review.

To be honest that game looks good across all platforms. It might look like a regular action game but its a game that will satisfy James Bond junkies.

Is this a new scoring system for IGN? Ratings out of 5 instead?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

BOLDED: That "blurb" was interesting to read. What exactly does that mean? Is it just "videos" (not CGI) put into the game?

The game was terrible. The word "unplayable" shouldn't be allowed into a game review. NEXT!!!

That's typical big Multiplat policy, with Wii left with shit PS2 port, untill P2 stops selling wii will get a lot of that.
