  • Summary: Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy gives players the experience of becoming a 30 million dollar elite agent, fusing an experience that delves deep into Jason Bourne's character with game play and game presentation inspired by the aggressive filmmaking and frenetic action found in the films. Only by playing Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy can players discover Bourne's true identity and experience the very moment he became a malfunctioning weapon, first hunting targets around the world as a deadly government assassin then marking himself as his agency’s most wanted. As a third-person espionage action game, players move from fistfights to firefights to experience sequences that blend Bourne's signature hand-to-hand combat with intense shooting and the ability to escape and evade deadly situations.

  1. I was completely expecting this game to literally suck, but in fact it is well done and very fun game that does the Bourne name justice.
  2. Even as I was enjoying the game's top-notch action, I couldn't help but be disappointed that the developers weren't doing more with the franchise's dramatic possibilities.
  3. All it does is create a temporarily engaging experience thanks to the adrenaline-pumping hand-to-hand combat. Be that as it may, Bourne Conspiracy is a game you'll probably keep playing until you become fed up with the shooting segments (and let's not forget that lousy car chase).
  4. Among its many failings one stands out as cardinal and, despite the slick presentation, simply can’t be forgiven: you never really feel in control of what’s going on. [Aug 2008, p.94]

    An awesome alternative to the standard shooters out there as well as the mindless button mashing action games. The gameplay and camera give it a unique cinematic quality seen in the movies. With a unique approach tying the movies together, the Bourne Conspiracy keeps you at the edge of your seat wanting more of the unique action/adventure gameplay that can only be found in the books, the movies and this game.

    This game is straight up horrible. The controls are bad, the graphics are average and the gameplay is boring. I especially disliked how poorly the physics have been implemented in this game. The car driving physics were particularly terrible and lacked realism. Expand
