The Bourne movie franchise totally deserves its own video-game series, and though there’s one that already exists for the first movie, fans would love more. What makes the movies so great, such as the stealth, espionage, and use of logic, has not yet been fully explored in game form.
However, the are plenty of incredible games for fans of the movie series to love, from the copious amounts of Tom Clancy games to creative and surprisingly hilarious stealth games to other third-person shooters that stick the landing much better. There are games for every console generation that will make players feel like Jason Bourne.
10 Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
It’s no surprise that the games to play based on a fondness of Bourne are going to be Tom Clancy heavy, as Clancy’s novels, which the games are based on, are so similar to the film series in many ways. Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is full of espionage-goodness for any fan of Bourne, as the game moves from casinos to hotels hunting down terrorists in the most tactile fashion.
Storming Vegas in the game is a lot of fun. There’s no need to play the first game, as the sequel is part prequel too, and there’s also Rainbow Six Siege, the latest release in the series, but Vegas 2 is vibrant and features more elements of stealth.
9 Dishonored
Dishonored might not be like-for-like with the Bourne series in the most obvious sense, as the game is set in an industrial, plague-ridden city in the late 1800s, but it follows an assassin who has unique abilities to perform his work.
Players must use their heads to navigate the map, which will remind fans of how Bourne uses his ingenuity to get into impossible areas in the movies. And, just as stealth and incredible hand-to-hand combat are at the forefront of every Bourne movie, the stealth aspects of the game are excellent as well.
8 Army Of Two
While Jason Bourne often works alone, Army of Two sees players work as a team, as it a predominantly two-player game. The game is all about having a strategy on how to escape areas where grenades and bullets are being fired at the players from every direction.
Just as Bourne is a weapons expert, there’s just as much of a focus on weapons in the game. And the missions play out like how a Bourne video-game would, as players either have to hunt down the leader of hostile forces or rescue NPCs and take them to a safe location.
7 Stranglehold
Stranglehold is a special game because a filmmaker actually worked on this original video-game, which is fairly rare. John Woo, in this case, helped to create the game. Woo has helmed so many great action movies, and the result is phenomenal.
The game even stars action hero Chow Yun-Fat and is one of the most cinematic games of all-time. Not only does it look great, sound great, and feature movie-caliber performances, but the gameplay is brilliant, as it essentially makes Woo’s famed gun-ballet style cinematography playable.
6 Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid is the latest video-game franchise to get the blockbuster treatment, with Sony trying to adapt the series into a movie of its own. Thus, it makes a lot of sense as there’s no game series more cinematic the Metal Gear.
Not only is it beautiful looking and full of globe-trotting levels, just like Bourne, but Metal Gear Solid 5 is often lauded for being the greatest stealth game of all time. The game follows Venom Snake as he leads a group of mercenaries in Afghanistan, and it’s the ultimate open-world experience.
5 Manhunt 2
Being the subject of a ton of controversy, as it was banned in several countries and even had a tough time getting released in the US and UK, the Manhunt series is an intense franchise. It’s one of the goriest games ever made, and in terms of tone and story, it has very little in common with the Bourne series.
However, for those gamers wanting to reenact Bourne’s stealth, action, and creativity, Manhunt 2 does the job perfectly. Players can use almost anything in sight as a weapon, and the primary gameplay is stealth, as players must remain undetected at all times, using the map to their advantage.
4 Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
Just like Jason Bourne himself, The Division series is all about survival. The series follows a group of survivors following a pandemic, with the first game set in New York City, and the second based in Washington D.C.
It’s a rare series that implements unique elements of RPG into a game based on the military, as it’s, for instance, the player’s duty to make sure everyone has access to food and water. There’s also a lot that goes into leveling up in the gameplay.
3 Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Any of the Splinter Cell games would do the job for players looking to feel like Jason Bourne, but Splinter Cell: Double Agent has more stakes, more of a theatrical narrative, and much more character development.
The fact that the game would make a great Christopher Nolan movie says it all, and considering how tactile Sam Fisher is, the Splinter Cell series is almost exactly how a Bourne game would look and play if a new one was ever made. From all of the in-game gadgets, such as the iconic night vision goggles, to having to infiltrate a terrorist group, the game screams Bourne in every way.
2 The Hitman Series
Hitman has some movie adaptations of its own and its video-game series is in a league of its own. Players are completely left to their own devices as they are dropped into a giant area and are given a target.
Players can go about assassinating the target however they want, with some ways being as creative as even wearing disguises such as Formula 1 racers and even college football mascots. The Hitman series full of surprises, and it’s one of the best games to play for fans of the Bourne series.
1 GoldenEye
From one iconic movie spy to another, this adaptation of the 007 movie is famous in the video-game industry for many reasons, but most of all, it helped to start the popularity of the first-person shooter genre.
Being one of the best videogame adaptations of the ’90s, the game is terrific as it globe-trots from one famous landmark to the next. Bourne fans will love this one.
