A little to short for my taste

A really nice and fun game while it lasts, it can easily be finished in around 4 hours.
But it overall is a really fun game, I world advise renting it because if you buy it and finish it you most likely wont play it again.

Well executed, but could use a bit of variety

I should mention that this game was given to me as a birthday present together with my PS3. I hadn't played video games in a long time and really only got the PS3 becasue we wanted a blu-ray player and figured why not get the PS3 since it's pretty much the same price. So the first game I got to play is this one, so I'm not sure if I can be totally thorough in comparing it to other games on this system but here is my impression:

I've had it for a couple of weeks and have been playing enough to make it through the first several levels. It definitely starts off really fun for anyone who's a fan of the Bourne movies. Each level takes pieces of the Bourne story and that becomes your mission. There is a good mix of cinematics which are very cool if you like the movies. During the actual gameplay, most of the time you are either fighting in hand-to-hand combat or shooting.

The hand-to-hand combat is cool in the sense of good animation and graphics, but there isn't much you can do in terms of variety of moves. There are just two buttons to engage - one is "light attack" and the other is "heavy attack". Most of the time I just randomly press those two buttons and watch in delight as I kick the bad guys butt. It's kinda fun but it's not like some of the other games where you can really orchestrate moves and get creative w/ your attacks. You can't really even do a kick unless you hold down one of the attack buttons but since your opponent is hitting you, I never feel I have time to "hold" a button long enough to get a kick. In addition though, when you're in a fight and your "adrenaline" level is indicated to be high enough, a graphic pops up on screen indicating to press the "circle" button and this initiates a "take down" which is basically a animation of doing a really cool move on your opponent, but again, other than just pressing that one button, you don't actually play a part in the move, you just watch the animation until it's over and then either that's it - you've killed the guy - or you get back into the fight and continue pressing the same 2 buttons.

The other major form the game takes is shooting. This is ok, but again, not that great. The aiming is tedious and there aren't a whole lot of weapons to choose from to give it variety. Also, often you'll be in a mission and encounter a whole slew of attackers shooting at you. You patiently shoot them all down, survive and advance, only to realize the next scene is almost the same thing with more people to shoot. It's kinda fun but can get pretty old after a while.

I think the game will eventually having a driving component when I advance enough, but I haven't gotten there yet. For the most part, it seems like the shooting and the primitive hand to hand combat make up the meat and potatoes of this game.

So in short, if you liked the movie, and really enjoy games w/ good cinematics and graphics, you'll get a kick out of this game. But you if you're expecting a game with a lot of layers to the gameplay, you may get tired of this game eventually and find it a disappointment.

Bourne Conspiracy Review

I really liked this game. Takes awhile getting use to but once you get the hang of the game then it's really fun. Especially on the hardest mode. The fighting style is excellent and I really liked it.

Not Worth To Buy

I though from the videos i saw in XBOX Live that this game will be a hit. But, Honestly its actually not that good to play, really really boring.

let me explain:
in terms of graphics it is so smooth and sharp that you feel like you're playing a movie but its not special on Weapon selection, combat style, fighting combos isn't much and even the story script is poor to give an interest to (though I like Born Movies).

i only give a 3 star to this game is because of the reality of the graphics, i recommend watching a game-play footage for less than 5 minutes and believe me you will not think of buying it.
