I supposed i wouldn't have enjoyed this game half as much had i not been such a Bourne film saga fan, but fact is Bourne's films are very palpable in the story line.
The character itself has very little to do with Matt Damon's character in the film. The are no emotional burdens and very little mystery since you've probably see the Bourne Identity already. The story is a mixture of the first films and flashbacks from Bourne's Treadstone(the CIA outfit he was a killer for) past. It also plays like a movie which gives the game a frantic rhythm and controls are very easy handle, perhaps to easy since you can do everything by tapping and holding just 2 buttons in the controller. At first you will appreciate this since the hand to hand combat is pulse riveting. Youll notice how influenced the game is on the filmmakers from the Bourne Saga with all the camera angles and a fighting style that seems cut out from fights scenes from the films. The fights are quick, versatile and very violent(which translates to fun)
The game plays smoothly but its strengths quickly become its weaknesses.
The hand to hand combat you love the first part of the game will become repetitive quickly. Most of the best parts of the fight are guided meaning is more about timing than actual fighting strategy.
The game plays VERY short. You can finishing in a day if you play it on medium difficulty and since the story is basically mirroring The Bourne Identity there are no surprises.
This game was fun to play but i finished in a weekend and haven't played it since. It has no replay value and its probably great as rental but not much more. If you are Bourne fan youll still enjoy it, if not you'll vae fun but for a very short time
