PS2 format has been resurrected for me thanks to seller's on Ebay,...games are plenty challenging for this old guy,...and what's cool is the fact that I've been able to require all my favorite games from years ago...

Quantum of Solace for the PS2 is a good 3rd person, over-the-shoulder shooter. The graphics are a little San Andreas-y, which is by no means a bad thing and the voice acting is A+. But, and it's a pretty big one, it doesn't really feel like a Bond game. It's similar in feel to 007:EON, but without the gadgets and the icoic Bond accoutrement. There is no real Q Branch input here. No laser watch, cell phone scrambler, or even knock-out dara cufflinks. Kinda lame. But it's solid. On par with any shooter for the PS2, but low on the Bond Game Totem, where Goldeneye still rules the roost, simply because you feel like James Bond. Here you feel more like a Blond Dude in a windbreaker and a silenced nameless gun (no Walther PPK?)pretending to be Bond. Before I forget, the music is A+. My review is a solid B. As for the Bond games, its maybe 4rd or 5th.Read full review
I played the PS2 version and from what I know, the PS3, X360, and Wii versions are significantly different, and I know nothing about them. What I can tell you is that the PS2 game is a OK production. The game is limited to a one player story mode of 10 missions with cutscenes and tolerable load times. The fighting style is over the shoulder, in other words, Bond isn't centered on screen. The combat is largely based on stealth, but includes levels of automatic blaring action. The graphics and sound are decent to good. The AI is excellent; however, the animation is sometimes lame and unrealistic. The shooting and targeting system is really good, but silent kills and melee attacks are a joke. Basically all the action is based on guns (2 different pistols, 2 or 3 automatics, 1 shotty and 1 sniper throughout the game), with no gadgets or secondary weapons of any kind. The combat is fun though, with features like taking cover, pre-aiming for quick ambush, health regeneration, and worthy adversaries. Secrets and unlockables are rare or nonexistent. Also, sometimes the movement system is awkward and the view is difficult. I thought it was worth the price of about $20. Overall I found the levels fun and pretty engaging. Buy this game if you want a single player, linear game that can be conquered in 6 - 8 hours.Read full review
My man, Dave sent me this game and I got it with everything as described (obviously, Dave is a G). The game is fun, it's PS2 graphics and controls, but it's pretty decent. Everything I expected out of the game, and more than I expected from Dave. 5/5 will probably buy something from again

This is one I missed during the hay day of the PS2. It’s essentially a console exclusive since it differs so much from the FPS PS3 and Xbox versions. It reminds me a lot of Everything or Nothing and From Russia with love. I’m only a few hours in but it has great 007 atmosphere that is only bolstered by the music and gameplay. Highly recommend.
