EA has been responsible for some rotten film adaptations, but I can't pin Quantum of Solace on them - that one was Activision's crime.
The sad state of affairs is that most film tie-ins are bobbins. Luckily, there are some exceptions; expect a review of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena some time next week.

yes, i played this game already... this game does really sucks game play seems boring and the graphics looks very very bland. Almost as if its a cheap version of GTA

I played the first one and got so bored with the repetitiveness, I could not be bothered to complete the game!! which does not happen often for me.. it looks like not a lot has changed in number 2.
The strategy element looks interesting but as it's combined with lame game-play, I'll be giving this one a miss.

Ah of course, you're right. I guess my brain is still recovering from GoldenEye : Rogue Agent. That was EA, no?

EA doesn't have the best track record when it comes to licensing games from their filmic counterparts. I worked at EA as a QA tester on a Harry Potter release (won't say which one) on all systems and the game was a bit of a joke; clearly a cash-in.
On the other hand, they have released some thoroughly enjoyable franchised games. A couple of the Lord of the Rings releases come to mind. Battle for Middle-earth anyone?

Seconded on both Battle for Middle Earth games - and on the general rottenness of the Harry Potter games. Rogue Agent was awful too, and the use of the Goldeneye name just added insult to injury.

Great review - we need more game reviews.

What is it with EA and film adaptations? In fact, their new low was deciding Quantum of Solace was already crap, and so unable to find a way to cheapen that experience, they base half of it on Casino Royale which was genuinely great and worthy of being left alone, and go ahead to destroy that too!
