Gunplay


Hand-to-hand combat


Forget about James Bond. It's all about the Bourne series. Jason Bourne is not only a supreme badass, but an extremely interesting character. His ability to turn anything into a weapon, along with his impressive hand-to-hand combat skills is enough to make any action-junkie cream their pants.

As I'm sure many of you know a Bourne game is headed to consoles this June. I had originally written this off as another lame game based on a movie, but it is actually looking like it'll be a damn fine game. I can't wait to see if this game will deliver the goods, and judging by the gameplay videos, it looks like it might just do that.

The game seems to borrow a lot from many other games such as cover mechanics, close-quarters-combat, and driving missions. The gunplay looks like your typical third-person action game, and it looks solid enough. There are some sweet slow-motion effects thrown in there for a bit of flair too. The hand-to-hand combat on the other hand looks epic. Just like in the movies, you'll be able to use your environment as well as various objects to fight your enemies. I especially enjoyed the part where Jason Bourne grabbed a man and used him as a shield to absorb a shotgun blast! The driving portion though looks a little bland and leaves a lot to be desired.

What do you all think about this game so far? Do you think it will be worth a look?
