Before visiting Treyarch’s studios a few weeks ago to check out their upcoming James Bond title, Quantum of Solace, I hadn’t seen many Bond films. It’s embarrassing to admit that I hadn’t even seen Casino Royale, the series’ recent cinematic reboot starring Daniel Craig. Perhaps I went into this preview less than a man.

So my first look at the upcoming first-person/third-person hybrid action title was a bit of a crash course, if you will. You see, Quantum of Solace’s narrative covers both Casino Royale and the upcoming film that shares the game’s name. Because the details of the new Bond adventure are under tight wraps to avoid potential spoilers, the levels we saw were all from the Casino Royale portions of the game … which were spoilers for me, anyhow.

The action I saw looked cool, though, regardless of my ignorance of the subject matter. The game’s producer, Garrett Young, even pitied me and offered me a copy of Casino Royale on DVD (which I refused). So before I sat down to write this preview, I decided it was necessary to watch the film. Now that I’ve finally seen it, it makes sense: Treyarch are definitely on track to deliver a kick-ass interactive Bond experience, true to the source material.

Hit the jump for our first-look details.
