Treyarch's Garrett Young has revealed how his team check out the latest release demos, and has confessed that The Bourne Conspiracy left him feeling a little flat.
"The Bourne game... we did download the demo, we did look at it, like we do anything that's new and coming out," explained Young. "Turok we played and other things that are new, we played GTA although that's not really in our space. But ... yeah ... not super impressed with [Bourne] ... it's always tough though when you make a game and you don't have the lead character from the movie."
Treyarch is currently working on its own movie license, Quantum of Solace, which Young is producing. He's also not alone with the Bourne Conspiracy disappointment, as our very own Mr. Burch gave the game an embarrassing 3.0. I don't think the inclusion of the leader character would have helped, however.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

But I also liked this game for what a was, a easy to finish rental.
I can wait a year till the game becomes super bargain bin material however (5 for £25 in some Blockbuster and Gamestation stores in the UK was one such recent promotion)
Always nice to add a game to the collection.
Although both fortunately and unfortunately, it looks good so far. So I can't take the piss at this stage.
Treyarch's a joke anyway.
