Quantum of Solace-could have been better

REVIEW:
The game based on the film 'Quantum of Solace is flawed. It showed good promise and looks the part. The major selling point for it (apart from the fact its a Bond game) is that the engine for Call of Duty 4 was used for the game.
So whats wrong with it?

1. The game is short. 4-6 hours from start to finish.
2. Theres no sense of direction to some parts of the game. While i hate games that lead you by the hand, whats worse is a game where not knowing the path gets you killed.
3. Stealth is impossible. Being a secret agent, you would imagine the makers wuold have put in a better stealth system. Maybe they should have looked closely at 'Splinter Cell'-a great secret agent stealth game.
4. The difficulty level is flawed. Theres 4 levels-I started playing on hard, but could get past one of the 'mini press the button when you see it on the screen' game, despite pressing the correct button at the correct time!
I re-started the game on normal difficulty and sailed through it.
5. The 'mini press the button when you see it on the screen' game really destroys this game for me. Theres quite a bit of unlocking & hacking using the d pad buttons. For some reason the makers thought it would be fun not toregister your correct input all of the time, and make it more dramatic by letting you get the very last input right.

The game has some good points, (nice weapons and a good feel to them, sets are good graphically) but the above flaws make what could have been a good game, just another play and forget shooter. It was aimed at the masses and it shows. If you have played the game let me know if you agree or disagree with the above.

Better luck next time 007.

UPDATE:
One more thing I forgot-this game has no offline split screen. Treyach have made Call of Duty 5 split screen AND co-op...why couldn't they have included even offline split screen in this game? It would have made it a keeper. But as soon as Call of Duty 5 comes out, this game will be traded in for it!

Went to see the film last night-the bad guy is CRAP! And hes tiny! Bring back Jaws! Or even the son of Jaws! Thats the trouble with these Daniel Craig Bond films-lack of a memorable bad guy!
Simon Cowell would be a good bad guy-vote to put him in the next one!

Probably the worst multiplayer game 3arch has made. The CoD-style dynamics were just not there.

They should have an RPG-7 in this game
