However this game is pretty good just with the single player campaign. The basic premise is that you’re a group of soldiers gone AWOL trying to chase down a load of trucks containing gold.

Along the way you get to handle trucks, armoured cars, patrol boats, tanks and even the occasional helicopter while you literally blow away the enemy.

Pretty much all of the environment is destructable, you can blow away all four walls off 90% of the buildings. However it doesn’t go all the way as you can’t completely level a building. That isn’t a major problem as you can still throw a grenade into a building and watch as in full HD the ground is ripped away from under the feet of an enemy on the 1st floor.

The maps are huge as well, and although the routes for the first few levels are fairly linear, the possible routes increase as the game goes on.

The campaign plot is simple but fun and the dialog both in game and in cut scenes is good and comical.

The major point that I didn’t like about this game is the AI, you do feel like the other three characters are not helping and just following you around. For instance, in parts of the story you fight without the other characters and it isn’t any harder than with them next to you.

Also, if you move fast they do instant catchup, it can break the flow of the game to see your fellow company members teleporting into view and they sometimes do get stuck.

However overall this is a really enjoyable game.

7/10

The graphics are fantastic, damage is semi-realistic and the number of different racing styles that you can play is huge.

The crashes are pretty good too, not just when you crash but when another AI car makes a mistake and causes a five car pile up which you juuuusst manage to avoid adding to.

In career mode you win money to buy cars and points to unlock new levels to race. You can eventually hire a team mate to race alongside you and get a team win for the race as well as individually.

AI is a strong point for this game, you start to smile as the car that was just in front of you for the last two laps suddenly loses it and does a barrel roll out of a hairpin bend. It’s almost like the driver was getting nervous and made the mistake due to you slip streaming him for the last four minutes.

This really is an awesome game.

9/10

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
