Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is a third-person espionage video game published by Sierra Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[1] Developed by High Moon Studios, The Bourne Conspiracy expands upon Robert Ludlum's character Jason Bourne, and immerses the player in a cat and mouse style espionage action adventure.[7] The game was released in North America on June 3, June 5 in Australia and June 27, 2008 in Europe.
[edit] FeaturesRobert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy mostly derives from the film version of The Bourne Identity. Although the game does not use the likeness of Matt Damon (who portrays Bourne in the films), due to creative differences with the actor;[8] it does derive more closely from the film storyline than from the novels, and features musical themes from the films. As in the movie, the player character begins as an amnesiac found off the coast of Marseille, but as the game progresses, the player is provided with more clues to Bourne's true identity. Jason Bourne's senses are an important part of surviving the game, with noteworthy items or locations highlighted - when a switch to this sense is triggered, the visual style changes, with important elements much brighter. A third-person espionage action game, the player encounters armed and unarmed combat, the latter usually resolved through quick-time events, and driving sections, also often dependent on quick-time events. There are three difficulty settings which the player can choose from when playing the single-player campaign: Trainee (easy mode), Agent (normal mode) and Assassin (hard mode). The game also contains a boss battle feature allowing the player to fight the boss without having to complete the entire level again, although some boss fights last entire levels. The game also contains a music player feature that allows the player to listen to music from the game. It includes an original score for the game written by Paul Oakenfold and performed by Cee-Lo Green.[citation needed] [edit] PlotThe game takes place during the first film. It begins with Jason Bourne, the protagonist, trying to assassinate African dictator Nykwana Wombosi, who knows too much about Treadstone, the black-ops organization that Bourne works for. After fighting his way through Wombosi’s guards and several mercenaries, he confronts Wombosi, but is unable to kill him, because Wombosi’s children are present. Bourne is shot in the back and thrown overboard. Bourne survives, and makes his way to a bank in Zurich, where he keeps a safety deposit box full of money and passports. On his way out, the police attempt to detain him, but he escapes to the American Embassy. There, the Marines attempt to detain him. He escapes from the embassy, then asks Marie Kreuz, whom he met in the embassy, to drive him to his Paris apartment, offering a large sum of money in return. Once at Bourne’s apartment, Marie accidentally informs Treadstone that Bourne is still alive. They send an assassin to kill Bourne, but Bourne subdues the assassin, who then throws himself out the window to avoid interrogation. Bourne and Marie escape from the Paris police, who were alerted after the assassin killed himself, then travel to Marie’s friend Edmond’s house in the countryside. They spend the night at Edmond’s house, but before they can leave the next morning, they are attacked by another assassin. Bourne stabs the assassin to death, then sends Marie away as he goes to Treadstone to get the assassins off his trail. Once there, he warns his former boss, Alexander Conklin, to leave him alone. Instead, Conklin has several Treadstone agents attack Bourne. He incapacitates the agents, then chases Conklin into an alley. As they struggle, another assassin appears and shoots Conklin. Bourne pursues the assassin and ultimately kills him. The game ends in Greece, where Bourne and Marie are reunited. [edit] Promotional Stunt
A video of the stunt shows a press conference held in a private room. Two members of the press started arguing until a security guard attempts to stop the man who started and a choreographed fight begins. The two (who are actors) fought each other in the room in the vein of the Jason Bourne films. The fight ended when the security guard successfully stopped the press member and escorted him to the exit. [edit] DemoThe demo was released on Xbox Live on May 5 and PlayStation Network on May 8. There are three levels in the demo: the escape from the Zurich American Embassy, a past assassination onboard an airplane, and a part of the Parisian car chase that was featured in The Bourne Identity. It was also released in the issue #85 on a playable disc that comes with the July 2008 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. [edit] Reception
Reception for The Bourne Conspiracy has been generally positive. IGN praised the combat and story, but criticized the shooting and driving mechanics and camera angles hampering the gameplay.[17] X-Play, G4TV's game review show, gave it a 3 out of 5, also praising the combat but criticizing the shooting and driving mechanics, short game length, and problems with the camera.[18] GameSpot nominated the game as one of the most surprisingly good games of 2008, but it lost to Air Traffic Chaos, a game for Nintendo DS, and "Best Boss Fights" where it lost to Metal Gear Solid 4.
