    I loved the books and the movies, when I heard this game was coming out I got excited. When I first got it home there was an issue with the sound cutting in and out. So I put up with it for a while to see what the game was like. It seemed ok at first, but I quickly realised I wasn't in control of as much of the action as I would've liked. Got bored very quickly from this point, and the sound thing really started to bug me. Next day took it back, and exchanged it thinking the disk might have been damaged. When I got the new disk home, I re-installed, and started to play again. Exactly the same problem. Took it back again and got something else. Very ordinary experience. Expand

    Pros: Fantastic action scenes make you believe you're bourne, nice sound and music, lots of different stages and missions Cons: the graphics are bad and don't show what the unreal engine can do, a lot of the stages are not from the movie and are a bit lame, huge installation and loading from HDD

    This is a fast action game and its very similar to the demo. If you liked the demo you will like the game. The fighting system is great. The takedowns and use of the Bourne Instinct are unique and are what makes this game different. The quick action sequences are also nicely done and let you feel like Bourne as he kicks some butt. The hand fighting is the highlight of the game. I think the criticisms of the shooting are overblown. You can cover, pop out and have different guns throughout hte game. There is no lock on but that would make it too easy. You get shooting takedowns as well. I would recommend increasing the looking speed to help with the gun fights. Its not a revolutionary title nor is it an open world game where you can explore. Its a very linear but fun action paced title. It can get repetitive at times and the story line so far has been a weak point. I was expecting better there. This game is certainly worth a rental and a fun game to play. I'd give it a 7.5 but I'll round up to 8. Expand

    Great game that does some innovative stuff. Fill in the story a little more and tweak a few gameplay issues (more stealth-Bourne is sent in because he doesn't exist, not because he can blow everything up!) and this would have been a 9 or 9.5. Overall great job High Moon. I'm looking forward to the next one.

    This game is a good-looking and at times, very playable, mess. There is no real element of stealth in this game, which you would think it would have in spades, with Bourne supposedly being a bad ass assassin and all, and if you have a gun drawn, be prepared to move like an old man. The fighting system is novel at first, but then grows tedious. No idea why you can only use 3 buttons when fighting when a standard controller has several more than that. Games like this make me wish Hideo Kojima would continue Metal Gear Solid beyond number 4, because every Metal Gear knockoff I've encountered gets it all wrong. Rent Bourne Conspiracy, but do not buy it. This is coming from a fan of both the movies and the books and someone who really wanted to love this game. Expand

  1. A forgettable experience. [Aug 2008, p.100]
  2. With plenty of fist fights and some great action sequences, this is a must have for the Ps3.
  3. Quotation forthcoming. [June 2008]
