Become Jason Bourne as he tries to outrun government assassins and discover the secrets of his past.

Overview

Based on Robert Ludlum's series of Bourne books, the Bourne Conspiracy was developed by High Moon Studios. It follows and expands on the story of the movies, and attempts to mirror the shaky-cam look they possessed, but it does not feature Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. It was released on June 3, 2008.

Story

Following the story of the movie, the game starts the player as Jason Bourne, on a mission to assassinate Nykwana Wombosi, a former African dictator. As Bourne approaches him, he realizes he can't kill him because Wombosi's children are present. Jason attempts to escape the boat but is shot in the back and falls into the ocean. He is found by a fishing trawler some time later, and finds out that he has amnesia but that he is somehow able to perform uncommon tasks such as speaking several languages and being very skilled and hand-to-hand combat. Bourne finds a small laser pointer  that points him to the bank of Zurich, but when he shows up, the bank guards try to arrest him. It seems that the US government is now hunting him. Now Bourne must avoid the global drag net, while trying to piece together his past and the reason he is being hunted.

The game essentially follows The Bourne Identity, but also changes things up by adding sequences that were not present during the movie. These scenes all involve Bourne while he was still a fully functional thirty million dollar weapon in the employ of the secret government agency known as Treadstone. These sequences are activated whenever Bourne find some item that jogs his memory such as a passport or a newspaper.

Gameplay

Some hand-to-hand combat.

The gameplay features hand-to-hand combat styled after the action sequences in the films, gun battles with government agents and commandos. During unarmed combat an adrenaline meter fills up as the player fights, once the adrenaline meter fills he can perform an adrenaline attack that features Bourne delivering a violent set of attacks to his opponent, sometimes based on the environment around them. There are three level of adrenaline attacks, the higher the meter the more opponents you can take down. so at level 3 you can take down three guys one after the other, or if you are surrounded you can take them out all at once with a quick time event. The game is mostly hand-to-hand combat with very few parts where you have a chance to use guns. You also get to drive a Mini Cooper throughout France in one level where you are running from the police. There is also a feature called Bourne Instinct. By pressing the Y or Triangle button it shows you where people are on the map or near you and generally helps you find things. 

Reception

The game got positive reviews. The game was credited for it's combat and story. While most critics didn't care for the shooting. It was nominated for two Gamespot award. One for The most surprisingly good games of 2008, and Best Boss Fights.
