Needs work for the next two but a good game. 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, "Why isn't an assassin better then this?"
4. For the 360 why do I need Achievements for having less then 10% accuracy? Achievements are supposed to be good, not bad.
Pros:
1. The game keeps you on your toes. Even the when a cut scene happens you better hold onto the controller.
2. Character doesn't look like Matt Damon. That's not a jab. I liked this becuase it gets rid of the idea this is based solely around the movies.
3. The Sound track will get stuck in your head.
4. The extras, when unlocked, are very good for the first game.
5. Even with the combat being as simple as it was I still had several times of holding my breath in a boss fight.
6. After the first few levels head shots will become second nature,and it will need to be.
7. Building up the adrenaline meter to drop 3 targets at once.
I hope the second and third improve on these. If your a fan of the series buy it. Otherwise I'd say it's a rental or borrower.
A little to short for my taste A really nice and fun game while it lasts, it can easily be finished in around 4 hours.
But it overall is a really fun game, I world advise renting it because if you buy it and finish it you most likely wont play it again.

REVIEW
cool game ok let me start by saying this game kicks but....yeah sure there are gonna be the sticklers that look for all the flaws and find something that's not perfect about the game and compare it to other games.......but if you take this game just as it is, it will blow your mind! maybe the people's mouths don't move at exactly the same time they talk........maybe the AI isn't perfect....... WHO CARES??..the point is the game was designed to be fun, not a movie, and thats where it excels, this game will blow your mind.......you'll love throwing people around with your mind and blowing their heads off.......i remember being particuarly pleased at one point when i mind-controlled a guy and killed everyone, and then had my guy go and jump off a cliff.........this game is awesome, the only downside is that it didn't get enough publicity for them to make a sequl......and saying it ends on a cliffhanger is and understatement...........but seriously, if you don't buy this game, your missin out.........a lot

REVIEW
Spyro and Crash: The Best combination First off, I just want to say that I give a huge amount of respect to the makers of these Spyro and Crash Game Boy games. When I say that, I'm referring to the entire series on game Boy. I like the Crash and Spyro games on Playstaion also, but when I'm not home, I can still play these guys wherever I go, and thats the best part. I know there are some bad games out there, but Crash and Spyro are nowhere near that category (unless you count the terrible Crash Bash game). One more thing, I have been seeing some negative reviews, and thats fine, you are all entitled to your opinions. But there is one person giving reviews to almost every popular game that never seems to like anything. I'm referring to A Gamer from Indianapolis, Indiana, or wherever. If you are reading this, don't you like anything? Every single time I read reviews, there you are, and you're always negative. Please let us all who are curious to know, what kind of games you do like. I don't know how old you are, and I have never been to Indiana, but please, stop giving negative reviews. You are taking up review space for people who have true respect for video games.

Nick agrees, not imagining the bizarre twists andturns lying just ahead. As this seemingly "simple" case thrusts Nick into a complex mystery of multiple conspiracies, you will soon discover that nothing is what it seems.
REVIEW
Couldn't even finish it I practically live on the computer with this type of game. I am not an expert but just someone who really loves solving mysteries and such. This was one of the worst games I have ever tried to play. I say tried because I never finished it. The dialogs between characters are pitiful and the movement and control of the character and objects is toocomplicated to make it fun. If you like a challenge then you might like this, but if you just like to have fun (like with CSI) then it's not worth it.

REVIEW
An interesting game, that unfortunately..... I think people overlooked. The story itself is quite simple, but it still keeps you interested nontheless.
The game, however, shines in the gameplay aspect. It uses the havock physics engine, so that means enemy bodies have a nice ragdoll effect, which makes it oh so satisfying to kill them using your psi powers. Telekinesis killing, by grabbing an enemy and constantly smashing him against stuff is quite fun.
One person wrote on a review about enemy spawning? In a way, he is correct. For the most part, the enemies are in place (which means that it is a smart thingto use Remote viewing to plan your tactics), however, there are some instances where enemies will spawn our of thin air; this usually happens when you trigger a "special" event. The most glaring case of this is early on in the game, where there are rooms that if you flip a switch, the door closes and gas gets pump into it. You see, nothing happens as long as you don't go into the rooms- just use tk to get any items that are inside those rooms- if you do go inside, you'll find that an enemy suddenly appears and flips the switch (trapping you in with the gas going into the room). Of course, this doesn't really retract from the game.
The graphics are solid. Sure, some textures aren't the best, but for the most part, the game is pretty dark that you won't notice. The character models are pretty good, with enough detail in faces to provide convincing facial animations.
It's a good game, especially for it's price. I suggest you buy it.
