Robert Ludlum's best-selling spy novels and blockbuster film adaptations have thrilled millions. Now for the first time, become Jason Bourne, Ludlum's most famous spy, in an original videogame that takes you deeper than ever before into his world of action and espionage. When curious fishermen pull your body from Mediterranean Sea you have little clue of how you got there or even who you are. A hidden Swiss bank account number leads you to Zurich where you soon discover that not only does somebody want you dead, but you're armed with a mysterious mastery of martial arts and marksmanship to fight back. Firearms, melee weapons, advanced fight techniques and even your surroundings are all at your disposal to weaponise, as you neutralise threats in a seamless blend of infiltration, shooting and hand-to-hand combat. Go deep into the Bourne canon as you hunt down the truth behind your fragmented past and turn the tables on the government agency that made you their number one target. You are Bourne - hunted, driven and deadly.

 Im gonna give it an A lol June 29, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
An action packed all rounder with a lot of challenges which make for a good game to play. Turn it up to hard, the fights become survival and it isnt about button bashing, time your blockin use the analogue to dodge and smash out those combos. The fights are pretty awesome. Against regular grunts its a laugh but it really shines when you have to fight a hard geezer who takes a lot of punishment its awesome and you spend half the time laughin when doing it cus your literally just trying to survive. The gun fights arent amazing, but still shooting people whilst dashing around a crazy enviroment leads to exciting gameplay and you do get into it. The game is seamless in its action, from one second your in cut scene to next thing your mashing a face against a wall. I have played the game for a day so far and still havnt completed it, there's alot to it and its kept me gript throughout. Its a wicked game and shouldn be overlooked. Its a shame cus most people slate stuff before they have even bothered trying it out. Trust me its fun and it makes you laugh and it also challenges ya, there has been many a time when i've been sitting forward thinking ahh crap am i gonna make it, and i've played games for years! Check it out, fighting is ace!
I liked it! July 29, 2008

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it!, 29 Jul 2008
By Mr. D. Joseph "usrpguk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
After reading some of the 1 star reviews on here, I thought I would give my views on this game.
I liked it very much. I have never really played this type of game (have never really enjoyed playing GTA), but I thought I would give it a go. I am the type of person who will put a game down after a couple of hours if I really dont like it, but not this one. I was very entertained all the way through to the end.
The Bourne series of movies are some of my favourites, so I just had to give the game a try. I loved every action-packed minute of the gameplay.
I may just give GTA 4 a try now!
Anyone who enjoyed the Bourne movies should definately like this game.
 FULL GAME REVIEW! NOT DEMO! : You're a malfunctioning 30 Billion dollar weapon and it feels good!!! June 26, 2008

I just received this game and thought I would give you guys my first impressions, in saying that I guess most of you have impression of this game already from the very lengthy and generous demo on XBL & PSN, if not I hope this helps. In short if you are anything like me and just long to be in the JB club of special agents: Jack Bauer, James Bond & of course Jason Bourne you should love this game!
As I'm sure you know, the premise of this game is, you a trained assassin and general killing machine Jason Bourne, a master of weapons, vehicles and hand to hand combat, and in this game you get to use them all. Based on Robert Ludlum's book and Universals 2002 movie the Bourne Identity, you will play out this fantastic story of espionage and action. If you have lived in a cave for six years and have never watched a Bourne film or even read the 70's book you are in for a real treat, it a great story.
As for the game, it goes far deeper into the story than the movie, you play through all the key scenes of the movie obviously, but then in between these levels the game will flash back to Bourne's previous missions. A great example of this is the opening level. The movie begins with Bourne floating in the ocean shot twice in the back suffering from complete amnesia, after a botched assassination attempt on chap named Wambosie. The game how ever starts just before the assassination screw up and you get to control Bourne and screw it up your self. The game is full of these "extra" missions where you will get to experience what Bourne has experienced!
As I mentioned the game has 3 main types of the 1st and clearly the most fun and impressive is the hand to hand combat this captures the spirit of the Bourne movies brilliantly. You really feel like a double hard bar steward as you take out 4 bad guys in one fluid takedown! The hand to hand combat works very well, a lot more basic than a stand alone beat them up (i.e. Tekken) obviously but still has a number of combo's, light attacks, Power attacks, power moves and indivual takedowns. Which are achieved by building up your adrenaline bar, the takedowns look ace and very brutal, they also include the environment. For example if your fighting near a desk and pull off a take down Bourne will throw a few punches then smash the poor henchman's head straight into the desk. This mode is really the meat of the game and just never get dull, occasionally you will meet key opponents, and these take the form of a boss battle. Depending on difficulty setting these can be quite tough, but ultimately very rewarding, you almost feel tired after slugging it out for 5 mins and your on screen counterpart is bruised and bleeding.
The second game mode is the shooting, I say second mode it actually blends perfectly with the hand to hand combat, so you could be in a big shoot out get too close to a thug and take him out with a punch to the head. The shooting is over the shoulder (ala Resi 4) it all works very well not amazing admittedly but still very easy to pick up. The characters armed stance is just like Mat Damon's Bourne and makes you feel as much Like Bourne as the combat does. There are not loads of guns to be had just the usual suspects, Pistols, M16, Shotguns ECT but they are suitably impressive and fun.
The 3rd mode and clearly the weakest is the driving, as with previous Bond games these vehicle modes do seemed to have been tacked on, obviously the amazing car chases are a big part of Bourne and the developers must have thought they where needed, but these levels fail to catch the spirit like the other 2 modes. They are playable and you can forgive them but it would have been nice if they spent a lot longer on these.
Graphically the game is quite good not the amazing, but I have just been playing MGS4!.I must say the finished game looks sharper than the demo, whether this was because I played the demo on XBOX 360 and I have just played the finished game on PS3 I'm not sure?
The game does have its let downs, It's a real shame Matt Damon is not in the game I guess Mr Damon just wanted too much money! And the game relies a little too much on quick button presses (God of War style) I suppose it's in attempt to capture the cinematic feel. Also the lack of any type of multiplayer is always a let down, I'm not sure what sort of multiplayer they could have had for this game though to be fair.
As I mentioned I am a huge fan of these sorts if movies so I did absolutely love this game as I did the Bond games, buts I can admit its not perfect. I can imagine there are some gamer that will hate this game. For starters it came out at the worst possible time, 2 weeks after MGS4 and 6 weeks after GTA4 not bright! The game is very linear, and doesn't give much chance to use your head and think what would Bourne do? As it always tell you.
I must say thought next to N64's Goldeneye this is one of the best movie tie in games I have every played, and if your still a big child who still yearns to be a secret agent then this the game for you.
Yes and No. July 11, 2008

Having just finished this game I want to make a few things clear before I go into the main review.
1) People shouldn't base their review solely on the demo. Quite often the demos released are rushed and don't represent the actual game content.
2) I can't believe I've read a few reviews that say the graphics on this game are rubbish. They are visually stunning, especially when you hook it up to HDMI.
Right first and foremost, it's WAY too short. I was actually taken aback when the screen saying I'd completed it popped up.
Secondly, it's not Matt Damon, but so what? I like the character and think it looks good. At least Marie looks a tad like Franka Potente, if that is a saving grace.
Thirdly, the driving level is reallly good, I enjoyed it and I think it was very important to have it in the game as it is so integral to the book and movie.
So overall, I really rate this game. It was very fun, very infuriating too but I think that that is good. But it is too short. Had they done the whole trilogy within the one game I'd have been happier but nevertheless it is worth the price.
looks good June 7, 2008

okay first thing i have to say is WHY REVEIW THE DEMO!!! keyword 'demo' means taste of the game NOTHING YOU CAN REVEIW IDIOTS!!!
Right now this game has a good fast paced action, and its rather hard as well which is good for a change. Instead of pulling the triger you gotta whack the git 20 times before he even looks slightly knacered, who cares about the graphics??? its got good gameplay, could be a hit
