Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy Games is a third-person action game blending hunter-prey gameplay through a seamless mix of hand-to-hand fighting, gunplay and dramatic escapes, all designed around Jason Bourne's signature combat style. Developed by High Moon Studios in collaboration with Ludlum Entertainment, and with story and character development in conjunction with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, the game is a companion to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels.
Jason Bourne: Predator and Prey
Players experience a new storyline in The Bourne Conspiracy, becoming Bourne and playing both as a trained assassin and a marked government agent trying to uncover the conspiracy shrouding his origins. True to the Bourne franchises trademark blend of precision hand-to-hand combat and gunplay, the core to the gameplay is Bourne's definition as a 'perfect weapon,' with heightened combat instinct, where players use his characteristic capabilities to recognize threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use the environment to overcome deadly situations.
Adrenaline is Your Friend
True to the frenetic pace of the books and movies, the action of The Bourne Conspiracy PS3 games is not only non-stop, it’s integral to the gameplay. As players struggle past enemy after enemy, utilizing hand-to-hand combat staples like punches, kicks and blocks they will notice their on-screen adrenaline meter rising. Once Bourne has built up enough adrenaline he can dispense with the usual combination of moves needed to take out a foe and instead instantly take an enemy down with a single push of a button. If he builds up even higher levels of adrenaline he will be able to take out several enemies at the same time with the same single push of a button.
Impressive cinematic presentation, decent gameplay
This game's rating falls badly due to the terrible boss battles. But I'll get to that in a minute.
The cinematic presentation of The Bourne Conspiracy Games is actually very good. They did a great job of capturing the feel of the movies with that unique style of fancy camera work (the moving camera with quick edits). And really, that's probably what saves this game from being just average.
The graphics in some areas are very impressive. One drawback however is the characters faces, they look pale and sickly. Towards the later part of the game there is an explosion that is one of the best I've seen in a videogame, the developers knew it was good too because they put it in slow motion! The voice acting is serviceable, but I didn't like how Bourne was done. He's too laid back and speaks in a monotone. It takes some air out of the game because you're spending your time with this guy and he barely even registers as a person. The story? I don't know it wasn't much really. I guess they followed some parts of the movies but really everything was just an excuse to have gun fights and hand to hand combat.
The game is in third person and there's a pretty good cover system. You can peak from behind cover and it's very simple and it works, unlike some games I know (ahem GTA4). However, it can be unresponsive. You'll be standing near a wall and pressing the button and it wont register. I like TPS games with this type of cover so that's one of the main reasons I enjoyed this game. You better like it, because that's basically all you do in this game, besides fight.
Fighting is interesting, but basically it's just button mashing and very simple in medium difficulty. There are combos but it's not deep or anything. Extremely cool is the takedown. When you build up enough adrenaline during a fight, you can press circle and you'll bash the guys head into whatever is in the environment. It's pretty cool and a nice job by the developers to pull it off. There's a long car chase in the middle of the game, and it was fun and looked cool, however there's not much skill involved. Also, there are many quick time button pushes throughout, and I guess it adds to the game, but again, not much skill involved there. You do need quick reflexes sometimes though.
And now the major flaw in this game. The hand to hand boss fights. About 4 of them. It's basically broken. You'll be fighting the guy, trying to land some punches and for some odd reason they keep switching to a quick time cinematic and you have to push a button to land a punch. It does about no damage and it happens over and over and over during the fight. You can barely get any momentum going because the fight constantly keeps getting interrupted by this cinematic. It's awful. I swear I thought the game was broken so I went online to watch a walkthrough and I noticed the guy was having the same problem as me. So I knew it wasn't me. I couldn't take it anymore so I put these boss battles on easy mode. And I never do that. The game loses one star because of that alone.
Other than that, I actually enjoyed this game more than I thought considering all the lukewarm reviews it got. Cool game. Is it worth buying? No. But absolutely worth a rental.
