This.

This fact alone throws a huge question mark over it. Unlike the new Call of Duty Treyarch don't have an excellent predecessor game made by a better company to rip off. Guess we'll see though, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Eurogamer have their review up, and I'll paste some choice quotes to highlight my complete lack of surprise:

Quote:

It's Bond! With Gears of War cover mechanics and the Call of Duty 4 engine! How can it possibly fail? As it turns out, by being dull, repetitive, unchallenging, ruinously linear, and one of the shortest full-priced games ever.

Quote:

Almost every step of the way you feel like the game has been designed for complete idiots with zero attention span.

Not sure if they meant 'designed for' or 'designed by', but both probably apply.

Quote:

Rather than giving the Bond game its Casino Royale moment, Activision and Treyarch have simply carried on in the joyless tradition of dumbed-down shooters designed for thickos

There's nowhere I can't reach.
