Activision’s new Bond game Quantum of Solace, based upon the film of the same name and Casino Royale hit retail in Europe today, and while we will not see the game grace our shores until November 4, Activision is trying to pacify us with an extra treat for having to wait a few days longer than the rest.
On November 7, just three days after the release of Quantum of Solace, Guitar Hero: World Tour players will be able to download “Another Way to Die”, the theme from the movie, which is performed by none other than Jack White and Alicia Keys. The track will be available on Xbox Live Microsoft for 160 Microsoft Points ($2.00) and while no price was given for the track on PlayStation Store it will probably go for the usual $1.99.
The song is a bit of a departure from other Bond tracks and not only because it is the first duet to be featured as the theme song, but also because it is very experimental consisting of a fusion between jazz, rap, hip-hop, and rock genres. Now sure how many Guitar Hero aficionados will like the track, but if you are a fan of Jack White or Alicia Keys you will be placated.
UGH. So much for copy and pasting from lovely spell check. It has been fixed.
Quantum of Solace is entertaining at least… a lot of high quality visuals, but the movie as a whole could stand to lose six or seven fewer chase scenes
