Dive into the mind of Jason Bourne, a fearless mercenary who kills without question. If you've seen and love the movies, you'll love this game.
The action never stops! From start to finish you will never be saying "i'm bored". The game keeps moving quickly through the story. The game uses a takedown system which will keep you pumped as you play through the story. Takedowns are a single button press in which you enter a cinematic and brutally batter your opponent on anything in the environment; from tables, walls, books, book shelves, chairs, carts, the world is your weapon. The game use a cinematic button press system where you need to press a series of button to block your opponents takedowns or escape danger during cinematics.
The graphics really deliver. From the player and enemy models to the destructive environments. The shine of rain on bourne to the well detailed interior of a house, it all just looks "right".
The sound is good. The sound of fists thumping a guys bloody face never felt so good. The sound if smashing his head into a museum statue and watching all the stone pieces fly really makes you want to keep playing. The music is great, it works in continuity with the action to pump your adrenaline and keep you wanting more.
The guns will make you hate the game however. Often times I found myself sprinting up to an enemy in order to engage hand to hand combat. The guns sound awful and doesn't feel like part of the game as if they were thrown in last minute. There is no zoom, or even a shoulder aim. Your recticle is a tiny dot that remains the same, even when you fire. The Paris chase mission will leave you very disappointed. Makes you wonder what the developers were thinking.
Overall great game for hardcore action lovers. Great music in sync with the action. Great hand to hand combat and beautiful game play. I wouldn't recommend it to shooting fans.
