Activision explains that Quantum of Solace “the game blends intense first-person action with a unique third-person cover combat system that allows players to truly feel what it is like to be the ultimate secret agent as they use their stealth, precision shooting and lethal combat skills to progress through missions.

Quantum of Solace promises to offer all of the situations that James Bond might be seen in, from intense shoot-outs to confined spaces, where the best method of advance is to sneak up behind the enemy and chock the out from behind, both from a third and first-person perspective.

The game’s cinematic appeal is described as thus:

“Filled with armed combat, massive explosions and vertigo-inducing chases, gamers are immersed in an authentic Bond universe and drawn into epic movie moments with theatrical camera angles, split screen effects, picture-in-picture sequences, and amazing environments inspired by real world locations such as Montenegro, Venice, Bolivia and Austria.”

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. Bond’s a one man army on a mission and he’s heading to the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS this autumn. The first Nintendo DS screenshots can be seen above (the others are from the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of the game.
