They did a good job of producing a game that's fast-paced and action packed. Shooting mechanics aren't good, but it's not meant to be a shooter. The hand to hand combat sequences look good and incorporate your surroundings. But the only thing i didn't like is that the fighting consists of blocking and then attacking. You could block all day long if you wanted to without injury. Then there are the mandatory buttons you have to hit at the right moment to initiate a choreographed sequence. You either like it or you don't. I didn't, but it definitely keeps you on your toes at all times throughout the game. Graphics are good, but not great. It is a fun game and would recommend at least a rental; don't know about replayability. I guess if you wanted to beat the snot out of someone, you can replay the boss battles over and over.

The game covers the first of a three part story about an assassin who is found floating at Sea in Europe and has to unravel his past and the "Conspiracy" around it. This installment is based on the Bourne Identity book with action elements from the movie.
Cons:
1. The game gives flashback into the character's past. Though nice in theory it completely gets rid of any idea of trying to follow the prime point of the plot, Finding Bourne's Past! Because of this if you hadn't seen the movies or read the books then you'd have no real care about the plot.
2. Too damn short. It's a Next-Gen game. Why the does it only cover the first book? and when I say short I mean: All the levels, Extra, and Bonus stuff in less than 10hrs and that's replaying a few missions for find items.
3. I would have liked a little more to the HtH fights. You get 4 actions: Light, Heavy, block & adrenaline. The later needs to build up in combat before it can be used. While it keeps the hand-hand simple it leaves you wondering,

...and for The Bourne Conspiracy, according to the developers, that objective was that the players would "be Jason Bourne." They've succeeded, and along the way have created one of the most engaging action games in a long time.
Pros:
Excellent Combat Mechanism
Realistic Shooting Mechanic
Captures Jason Bourne Flawlessly
Powerful graphics
Cons:
Grainy cinematics
Too many big guns for Bourne
I'll be taking a closer look at all of these in a moment, but for now, lets begin by examining the three basic areas of gameplay: Close Combat, Shooting, and Driving.
Close Combat in The Bourne Conspiracy lives up to the fight scenes in the films. By using the X and Y buttons, Bourne can execute light and heavy attacks on opponents. Holding down the buttons prepares a light or heavy kick, which is impossible to block, but takes about 2 seconds to prep. One of the unique aspects here is adrenaline. As you successfully land punches and kicks, you build up adrenaline, which can then be used to execute

Pros:
+Very good graphics
+Good music
+Simple gameplay that's easy to grasp
+Has a good level of action the movies are known for
+Feels a lot like the movies
Cons:
-The gameplay gets repeitive
-It's short
-There are a couple of camera issues
When it comes to video games, those based off movies are typically just an average affair. Usually there isn't that much effort put into it and it quickly becomes nothing more than a cash cow. It's hard to say that about The Bourne Conspiracy. On one hand, it is pretty much based off a movie, on the other hand, it seems like there was a lot more care and devotion put into this game as it didn't have a movie to meet the release date of. As a result, you get a game that suffers from less problems than most video games based off movies. There are still a couple of the same old problems, but you don't mind them nearly as much because regardless of what it seems, you're getting a much better quality game.

This a good change of pace from most action or stealth games.
If you have seen the movies then this is just like playing the movie. The fighting is very innovative and the take down moves are awesome. The fights look just as hardcore as they do in the movies.
The button press inserts never get repetitive and if you have to play a certain part over you feel good when you nail it just right.
If you loved the movies and the books then pick up the game. It's a nice change of pace to the regular action games on the market. challenging and fun are balanced equally.
