This game is supposed to be like the Bourne movies, always on the run and always moving forward.

However the way that the game achieves this is to get a group of mini-games and string them together.

For example, you may be running down a corridor, turn a corner and run smack into a security guard… prompt the ‘fight’ mini game which is basically press block, wait for them to attempt to hit you and then mash triangle and square until Bourne does the coup de grace on the opponent.

You’ll then run off, go through a door and enter and ‘press the button on the screen God of War style’ mini game.

This is annoying because you never feel that you’re in charge of where the game is going, it feels like a 3D platformer.

The visual effects are pretty good however they’re not always seamless and the game doesn’t last long enough to really be able to enjoy it. In fact it lasts just long enough for the gameplay to get gratingly annoying and repetitive before it abruptly ends.

The other thing is that the models used in the game look nothing like the characters from the film, this might be a minor problem for some people, but it would have been nice to look more like the actual films.

Overall: 5/10
