A game that boasts an exciting combat mechanic yet leaves the player underwhelmed and bored.

User Rating: 4.5 | Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy X360
The Bourne Conspiracy had potential, but fighting and shooting mechanics that were greatly lacking and a campaign so short you could have it completed before your super noodles are ready leave this gaming experience one that many gamers could happily live without.

With the impression of stunning combat features, I bought this game under the false pretences that TBC would satisfy that craving we all get for a good, action packed game, however I found that quick time events weighed this game down, and by the end made the enemies actions too predictable. The take-down sequences were impressive, but it was the dull boxing match that preceded this action that deducted from the anticipation of another fight.

As mentioned in all other reviews as well as my own, the game barely lasts long enough for the player to get into it, which is only made worse by the lack of replay value.

Its not all bad though. The 'normal' and 'hard' difficulty settings would prove a challenge for most gamers, as they did myself, without getting the player too frustrated, but unless you are determined to find those scattered collectable passports throughout the levels, there is little incentive to play the game again on a higher difficulty level.

Fans of the franchise may well enjoy the idea of playing as Jason Bourne, reguardless of the fact Matt Daemon's likeness is not present, but for those who are more interested in the fact that its another action game, I personally recommend you leave this one on the shelf
