Robert Ludlum's series of Bourne books have finally been translated from the big screen to the computer screen. Is Jason Bourne, the unstoppable super-spy, going to be floored by awful gameplay though or is this game one born of brilliance? We find out.

Hooray another average movie-based game.. Would be interesting to see an actually good one some time.

Until then: Meh, who cares.

it's not movie based... the bourne conspiracy is primarily a book and then it became a movie. This specific game has nothing to do with any of the Bourne movies. However the game sucks bigtime and it's just another shoot'em up with "press button to see movie" sequences. Don't even worth spending time reviewing it

Yeah it doesn't look that good. Shame really, they should have listened to Matt Damon.

Jipa · 5th Jul 2008, 12:11

Well... To me it's all the same if a game is a book-based, movie-based or tv-serie-based, they all seem to be utter crap.

It is movie-based. yes, the movies were based on books but I didn't see anyone rushing to make a Bourne game after the books were released. Its the popularity of the movies that has prompted a game.

I really wish they'd created a game worthy of the movies though.
Something that maybe filled in some back-plot that wasn't covered in the films or something.
Something a bit more intellectually challenging than a combined beat/shoot 'em up.

I take it that image isnt game related (news post) since Matt Damon didn't want anything todo with the game due to some whack morals

CardJoe · 5th Jul 2008, 16:46

Correct.

When you click on either of the lower in game screen shots on pages 1 and 2, they both load and expand a different image to the ones shown in the article.

As bad as the game looks, I did giggle at your "Matt Damon!" subheading.

CardJoe · 7th Jul 2008, 10:11

There was going to be another one - sorry Matt, we were all out of time.

Having played the demo on PS3, I gave up after five minutes. The first quicktime event descended rapidly into being damned annoying. Even Space Ace 2:Borf's Revenge was easier.

To me it looks a little run-of-the-mill, it has already been done, just with a different storyline. It's interesting also with how Bourne 4 will go, and with this.

korben · 17th Jul 2008, 14:15

Shame, I had some hopes for this, but it seems it's yet another average movie (or book in this case) games.
