Activision announced today Quantum of Solace, the upcoming first-person shooter based on the highly anticipated new James Bond film, releases to retail today in Europe and Nov. 4 in North America.

The game looks gorgeous for a movie-based title, evidenced by the footage above. Like Call of Duty: World at War, Quantum of Solace utilizes a modified version of the Call of Duty 4 graphics engine.

Quantum of Solace offers optional Wii Zapper support. Activision has also included online multiplayer, as well as a four-player split-screen local multiplayer mode exclusive to the Wii version.
