Apparently the demo for The Bourne Conspiracy is now available on Xbox Live which will give you a chance to play through one of the early missions of the game as well as the car chase sequence. PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait until Thursday to get their hands on the demo. 

I really liked what I saw at the Sierra event a few weeks ago and I'm interested to see how people receive the game.  It's a bit different but the movie look and feel of the game is very, very tight. 

Update (Chuck): Added more info about the demo, the press release, and the information on the PS3 version of the demo.

May 5, 2008 – Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games today announced that new demos for the Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy™ game will be available for download on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on May 5th and PLAYSTATION®Network on May 8th.



Fans of Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne franchise will get a peek at the action-packed game play in The Bourne Conspiracy, a blend of brutal combat and unprecedented pace designed to let players become the perfect weapon, Jason Bourne.

The Bourne Conspiracy demo will feature:

* A look into how The Bourne Conspiracy combines original missions with memorable film moments to plunge players into the role of both trained Treadstone assassin and a malfunctioning government weapon on the run
* Brutal hand-to-hand combat choreographed by the films’ fight coordinator and stunt legend Jeff Imada, recreating Bourne’s signature combat style and ability to weaponize everyday objects in his environment
* Shooting using cover, wallwork, and use of destructible objects to distract and destroy enemies, along with a unique ‘expert kill’ shooting takedown system
* Seamless movement between hand-to-hand combat and gunplay, combined with unique ‘escape & evade’ game play where Bourne must escape deadly situations, all framed by relentless pace and camera techniques inspired by the cinematography of the films
* A taste of Bourne-style high speed pursuit, with a re-imagining of the escape from Paris sequence through a thrill-a-minute, arcade-racing inspired police car chase



Through close partnership with Ludlum Entertainment, and collaboration on story and character development with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, The Bourne Conspiracy is an intense interactive addition to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels.

The Bourne Conspiracy game will ship in North America June 3 and be available worldwide on June 27, 2008 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
