The Bourne Conspiracy

SCORE: 36

Know what bugs me? What really annoys me? All of the liars in the video game industry that say: "these violent games are getting more realistic." The Bourne Conspiracy on the Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 is a classic example of why these violent games are not getting more realistic. Shoot a guy in the head and he keeps coming at you. Not in the real world though. So The Bourne Conspiracy is not more realistic, it is less realistic.

I hoped The Bourne Conspiracy would be half as interesting as the movies. Sadly this home console video game is boring beyond belief. The bad guys can take Bourne kind of hits. I got so tired of pummeling all of these characters. Some of which looked the same to me. It also takes forever to take some of these guys down. Throw them off a roof, and keep fighting them.

To make the fighting scenes worse is there are very few attacks. The Bourne Conspiracy is an excessively violent game. I am not sure how this game avoided the 'M' rating since it is a solid 'M' game. The Bourne Conspiracy includes blood gore, bad language, alcohol, tobacco, dark gritty graphics, and more. The Bourne Conspiracy can increase aggression levels. It bored me to tears.

Blocking is a required skill in The Bourne Conspiracy. As is the two different kinds of attacks (light and heavy). It was cool using the triangle button to see where I needed to go next. There are some driving levels. The Bourne Conspiracy is part fighting, part shooting, and part driving. None of them are done very well in The Bourne Conspiracy unfortunately. In fact it feels like the developer did not know what kind of game to do, and threw three different kinds together.

There are button pressing scenes where a certain button has to be pressed at a certain time. Fail, and your character dies. I died a lot in this short, boring, ultra violent video game. One of the good things in The Bourne Conspiracy is it discourages gamers from using lethal force on civilians, and the police. Just pummel them into unconsciousness. Bourne is seriously under powered in this game.

You could not pay me enough to play The Bourne Conspiracy ever again. This game is horrible on so many levels. It gave me headaches, and made me realize why it was so cheap in the used video games section. I recommend Family Friendly Gaming Universe passes on The Bourne Conspiracy. Spend your money on something better than The Bourne Conspiracy.
