10 Mature Film Franchises That Would Make Great LEGO Video Games

5. The Bourne Pentalogy

In The Bourne Identity, Matt Damon made Brosnan's Bond look dated within the first thirty minutes. Tense in plotting and raw in action, the first Bourne film and its sequels gave back something to the spy genre it had lost: realness. Fights were violent and dangerous.

Escape plans were manufactured on-the-fly rather than a sequence planned by-the-numbers and obviously staged. Trust was also an issue for Jason Bourne; these elements would all be seen in the reboot of 007 Casino Royale in 2006.

A LEGO Bourne compilation could be perfect for parodying the spy thriller genre itself. Make JB a silent protagonist and it could cause all kinds of cutscene hilarity. The gameplay would be a good mix of exploration, including platforming, climbling plus the usual action-packed chase scenes and that spectacular car chase from the first film through Paris.

Finally, there'd be plenty of tailing suspects, evading capture and puzzles could be slotted in when it came to finding out information about where in the world to travel next.
