Game review: The Bourne Conspiracy

David Phelan

THE BOURNE CONSPIRACY

XBox 360, PS3 £50. AGE 16+

The Bourne Conspiracy is fast-moving, tense and a good conversion from film to game. When fighting, you need to build up enough adrenaline (there’s an on-screen meter) to perform Bourne-style takedown manoeuvres and see off a bad guy. The graphics are detailed and the dialogue is realistic. The mechanism by which Bourne can reveal where enemies are hiding works well but feels rather supernatural. Some of the controls are fiddly and shooting is less fun than hand-to-hand grappling. Its worst sin is that the camera must be recentred far too frequently. Despite which, this is a hard game to stop playing.
