14 DAY TRIAL // Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy video game is already expected to hit the European shelves on the 27th of June this year, both for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles but some of us might still wish to test the game a bit before purchasing it (or, at least, give it a try and ease the pain of waiting). It seems that Sierra Entertainment has thought a bit about this possibility and decided to offer a fully playable demo "early May", according to website Darkzero.com.
The Bourne Conspiracy demo will come to Playstation Store as well as 360 Live Marketplace, so expect a "vs." feature next month, if everything goes as planned. It is said that the game's (and, therefore, the demo's) main attraction will be the advanced hand-to-hand combat system that allows players to do things they definitely can't in real life - and we always love stuff like that, don't we?
While waiting for the demo and, later, the full game to be released, we should take game director's Emmanuel Valdez words for granted, "We're creating a video game that is distinctly Bourne, based on a deconstruction of the character from action hero to game hero, and one that we ultimately believe gamers will discover as a distinctively original licensed action game".
The game delivers an original story uncovering Bourne's past and the conspiracy shrouding his origins. Players will experience the hero as a trained, really skilled assassin and marked government agent. It will basically be a third person espionage game, where players will be adopting Jason Bourne's piercing sense of survival, cunning nature, heightened target awareness and firearms training, as well as never seen before hand-to-hand fighting skill. Also, for the ones who appreciate all these extra things that come with a game to further enhance the experience, the fact that the soundtrack is created by Paul Oakenfold should come as great news.
