Graphics
The graphics in the Bourne Conspiracy vary sincerely throughout the game. The one major aspect of this game that really boosts its graphics score, is the enviorments throughout the game, and different scenarios. The bright and vivid colors are very well constructed and overall well designed. There are is a large variety of different scenarios and scenes to look at, and this makes a deep impact on the game. Some of the defects include the explosions, gun fire, and character designs. Explosions are not as vivid as the scenarios and lack a very bright color. Gun fire is somewhat hard to see with certain guns, maybe a glitch. The character designs are somewhat robotic at times also. There is also quite a lot of various destructable enviornments and such.
