What do you think?

I played the Demo. The graphics are good as is the action. There are just too many button presses and I felt disconnected from the game. It certainly isn't fluid. Too bad they didn't use the thumb pad like in Fight Night. The game would have been on my buy list then.

Bourne is crap. Combat sucks, shooting sucks, driving sucks. The fight night style fights doesn't work in all games. I remember the godfather had it but it was still weak. Too many cinematic sequences. No counter button. Graphics are alright. A.I. is trash. Enemies seriously wait their turn to fight you

Yeah that's true. Funny to be in a fight with one guy and the other is just standing there.

So no one has bought this game yet? I really want to try it out but I haven't heard anything from anyone who's actually purchased the game. The reviews were kind of all over the place it seemed.

The demo kept me entertained... but wasn't all to good. Especially the driving.
I recently saw the movies so i had to try it.
If no other good game **MGS4** was coming out soon, i may have picked this one up or at least rented it to keep me busy if I were that bored.

But other than that. Not worth your time.

Wierd. I never saw one review. The game isn't out until tomorrow and IMHO skip it.

I've been watching videos of this game for the last few minutes, and the gamepley must really be ****ty for people not to like this. because the game looks pretty cool judging from the videos and gameplay clips. I don't know, definately going to have to download the demo and give it a good open minded try.

It does look great. It's just the absurd button presses it takes in order for you to see that onscreen. Also the button varies so you spend more time watching the lower right corner of your screen than you do watching the action.

fortunately there is only one driving level because that is the low point. the .0005 second you have for the surprise button presses are a bit contrived. rule of such a design: if you are going to use this mechanic you need load times that are practically nonexistent. the bourne load times are very much an issue on both consoles.

Aside from getting 58 from 1up, the game is scoring decent.

I bought the game today. I had $$$ on an Edge card and figured what the heck.

The Good:

Graphics are excellent.

Camera works fine. I haven't seen a point where it interfered with the game.

I found when I got used to the controls I was able to enjoy the game more but not focusing on when to do a takedown. You can hear when your meter reaches the right level.

The amount of destructable objects is surprising.

The game animations are so fluid that the game plays as good as the cut-scene if you don't hit the start button. It doesn't feel like the fighting, shooting and takedowns are seamed together. It's very fluid.

Sound. The dialogue is very good and the music is really fitting. This is the first time that I actually enabled music when I had the option to disable it.

The Bad:

I can duck for cover, pop out and shoot which is good but I can't roll from cover to cover.

What reviewers are saying about Bourne not being able to jump is a valid point. He's this super agent that can't climb over objects. This purposefully keeps the game linear. Depending on your game style this may be a good thing or a bad thing.

One enemy at a time fighting. I can see why they did it but it takes away from the realism having one or more guys waiting to fight you. Then again if they all teamed up, it would be overwhelming.

No multiplayer.

In closing:

Hand to hand combat is a big part of the game. One button is heavy attack, one is light attack, and one is block. Pressing a button longer results in a kick. It is a simple way of implementing combat but I never felt it's button mashing because you have to mix up your attacks to be effective. The big payoff is the takedowns. They are so thrilling and varied, it doesn't get old.

I found myself yelling "Go Bourne" during the game. It's really immersive. So much so I forgot to watch the Stanley Cup.

I'm interested in what you think of the game.

Takedowns also are done with weapons. The nice thing about it is you aren't pressing more than one button so it doesn't disconnect you from the game and the payoff is spectacular.
