Amazon.com Product Description

This story-driven action game seamlessly combines dynamic space- and ground-based combat with exploration and investigation. Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter takes place hundreds of years in the future, when both human and alien settlers are rapidly colonizing the galaxy. You will assume the role of Mace Griffin, a special ops officer turned bounty hunter, as he unravels a dangerous mystery. The game offers seamless transition between first-person combat and space-flight actions, and an epic story with the pacing and drama of a blockbuster movie.

Consistent flight control and weapons management systems make it easy to navigate both in space and on the ground, and to pilot six different ships, from alien fighters to massive carriers. There are lifelike nonplayer characters whose reactions depend on their varying intelligence, bravery, health, and weapons. The "rag doll" IK system creates realistic results when a character is shot or hit. The game's diverse missions, which may be story driven or incidental, take place in a wide array of walk-around environments, each with its own physics, obstacles, inhabitants, and creatures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A challenging title for the serious FPS gamer..., September 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (Video Game)

Firstly, to rebut the "Deeply Flawed" review, the game is not buggy on Xbox. The problems c_thulhu is describing are related to either his game disc itself, or more likely the Xbox itself (or both). I had similar problems with my first Xbox and game, but exchanged the Xbox and the problems vanished.

The gamer from Detroit sounds like a younger player. This is a mature game for mature players. No game is Halo except Halo. Mace Griffin is a difficult game better suited to experienced player. There are no adjustable difficulty settings. The robot things will go down, but it takes a whole machine gun clip. allthingsdork has a much more accurate take on the game.

One of the challenges of this game is that you can't "run and gun". You need to pick your targets and shoot from cover as much as possible as you are always outnumbered. Advancing is difficult in places because you often have to create your path by exploding something to create bridges or ramps, do a lot of pinpoint jumping, crawl through vents, etc. It frequently is not obvious as to how to get from point A to point B. You have to take time to analyze your environment. The save points are infrequent and far apart. There is a nice variety of weapons to use. The sniper rifle is probably the best I've used in any game. If you want crazy fun in a shooter, play Serious Sam. If you want a real challenge, play Mace Griffin.

...what more could you ask for in a first person shooter? First I'd like to say...I absolutely love this game. It is fun and intense. Talk about getting drawn in to a video game, Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter is addictive! It has long and interesting levels that, at times, seem to never end. You can save if you want to take a break, but only at the last check point(I just pause the game, turn my TV off and leave the XBOX on). The A.I. is better than any other FPS I've ever played. A.I. actually hides from you and it even seems to stratigize to circle around you at times. It's neat to watch. But don't get too watchful, because you'll get ambushed from behind or at your sides.
The outerspace/in-ship levels are absolutely amazing as well. The enemies are a little hard to hit when trying to control the ship, but that makes it challenging and extends the longevity and value of the game in my opinion.
There is NO slow-down when looking around like some FPS's and the texturizing is very good, not as good as say 'TimeSplitters2' for the XBOX, but enough to make it look smooth and beautiful.
Overall this game is a must for any First Person Shooter fan.
