Bourne Conspiracy

Just picked this game up used and so far I'm digging it. Anyone play this yet ?? It's a bit of a button masher thus far, but the take-downs and hand to hand stuff is pretty fun. I find the shooting controls are a bit sluggish, but it's still fun.

I'd probably get major slack from alot of folks on this, but I find this game 10x more enjoyable than GTA IV.

While not anywhere near close to perfect, I played the demo and loved it.

You can buy this game for $34.99, I have no clue about this site, but it was posted at CAG:

Once it hits the $20 or $30 range, I'll pick the game up for sure.

Even though I loved the demo, I'm shocked to find that the game actually got decent to good reviews. One of the major sites gave it an 8.0.

I liked the demo as well, but from what I've read/heard it's about a 4-5 hour game and not very difficult. Sub $10 range is what I'm looking at.

I've got it still shrink-wrapped. I think it looks kick ass but I have a backlog of games right now--- least of which is GTA IV.

I rented it over a week ago and played through it in a few days. Overall, I found it to be fun, but nowhere near being worth a purchase. It's a nice diversion, though and is easily one of the best movie games I've played in a while. I think it only took me between 6-7 hours to finish and that's because I took it slow, trying to get all of the hidden passports.

i like the demo, the button sequence is a bit faster than God of War. The good thing is that there's a sequence, so you can kinda anticipate which button ahead of time. The bad is that when you need to do over, loading... Loading sucks.

I didn't hate this game but I didn't really love it either. It reminds me of a game I absolutely loved which was Die Hard Arcade if you haven't tried that game find it for the saturn it's lots of fun.

I really liked the demo but I don't think I could justify spending even $30 on a 5 hour game.

I liked the demo enough to get it, but of course haven't touched it since.

I just played the demo of this today and thought it was a blast. Checking out the reviews though, there doesn't seem to be a high level of replay value to it. I'm sure I'll pick it up sometime later on when it's cheaper.

So, I found this and picked it up for $15 at Target on clearance. Haven't opened it up yet. Those that picked it up, should I hang onto it for that price or take it back?

Very well worth it for $15. You can always trade it in to blockbuster and pretty much get your money back when your done with it.

I saw a couple PS3 versions for about that price last week. I might have to stop in and check for the 360 version later today.

Thanks, I'll hang onto it then. I suppose I could sell it back for at least $10. I hadn't thought about that.

All Target clearances are a little YMMV. I think at least the PS3 version is on clearance everywhere, though some have it for $30 while others have it for $15.

Which version did you pick up? I'd take it off your hands for $10 when you're done with it.

I got it for the PS3, so no easy achievements for me. I'll keep your offer in mind, thanks.

And BTW: I just saw a newborn whose first name was Draven. I immediately thought of you!

Target's funny about how they clearance out prices. Each store can do it differently. You might want to recheck next Monday morning, as that's when the drops happen

Obviously a Crow fan.

I managed to find a PS3 copy for $15 myself. I didn't see any 360 versions in stock.

I picked this up for $15 at Target earlier today. They had two, and if I knew anyone here would be interested I would've picked it up for you guys. If it's still there when I'm able to get back to the store I'll grab the other one.

I didn't even go in there for the game. I was there for Iron Man and thought I'd check out the games, and noticed it. It wasn't in a clearance section, and instead was just in with all the other games, only with a clearance sticker on it with the new price. My local Target stores didn't do that a few months ago, but now they keep almost all of the clearance games in with all the other games.

I went by my Target yesterday. It was $60 for the 360 and $42 for the PS3 on clearance.
