Fun if you can get by it's shortness and some technical issues.
Pros
* Hand to hand combat is fun, nice to look at.
* Follows the movies well and adds some from the books too.
* Cool cinematics, good use of quick time events.
Cons
* As the game follows the movies somewhat, having Bourne not be Matt Damon is kind of off putting.
* Vehicle sections feel like you're driving on ice.
* Whilst improved from the demo, the shooting sections are still pretty weak.
* Had a bug a couple of times that froze the game.
The hand-to-hand combat is easily the best thing about the game.
So much so that when you're forced to endure a driving section or a lengthy bout of gun play you just wish it were all over so you can go back to punching dudes.
The graphics are attractive, especially in the cinematics.
In the cinematics quick time events are well used.
I know a lot of people are tired of QTE's, but I quite like them myself and this game makes good use of them and it uses them quite a lot.
Graphics and I guess audio wise the only thing that really bugs me about the game is that Matt Damon doesn't reprise his role as Jason Bourne.
Doesn't hurt the game too much and if I read correctly he looks more like he's described in the books, but being so heavily exposed to the movies makes the non-damon bourne seem.. Odd, I guess.
The shooting, whilst improved from the demo is still pretty weak and you'd probably prefer to just charge in and take them out by hand when possible, unfortunately that can result in a severe case of death.
Driving still sucks. It's like driving on ice.
Not really a lot to it.
If you want more Bourne it couldn't hurt to give it a play through regardless.
The beat em up action is decent enough to justify at least a rental but it probably won't have much in the way of long term appeal, you'll forget it real soon.
