Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy

matiss's Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy (Xbox 360) review

Fun for a few hours.

The Bourne Conspiracy is really a playable game. Sure, it's nothing compared to most high-profile action games, but it's worth a rental. You'll be playing as Jason Bourne - a character from one of the best action movie trilogies of recent years. If you know Bourne, you'll know that there won't be much shooting in this game. There isn't much, but there is some - and it's very very dissapointing. Although the shooting parts aren't much, the most fun you'll have with this game will be when using hand-to-hand combat. Sure, there are just three combos or so, but the takedowns are awesome! The controls aren't the best, but you'll get used to them in a while. Overall, The Bourne Conspiracy isn't good, isn't bad - just playable, if you have nothing to do, and need a game to play for a few hours.

Pros:

Some nice visual design
Takedowns
Hand-to-hand combat

Cons:

Short game, only 6 or so hours long
The shooting sequences are frustrating and dissapointing
The controls could have been better

6/10

The feel of the movie itself is captured quite well with the aid of well-done, albeit short cinematics and an excellent, heart-pumping score.The game itself is pretty standard third-person sh...

Pros: Feels like the movies; great combat; presentation; quality Cons: Not much to do once the story has been completed; you need to like cut-scene events; driving level is a bit of a mess. The Bourne Conspiracy is a character action game, based on the book & film series and is probably one of the best tie-ins since GoldenEye on the N64. High Moon studios have created quality product with superb presentation and production values that really gives you the feeling of playing Jason Bourne. Rel...
