Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Set in the interval between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, this first-person adventure lets you step into the role of the galaxy's most heavily armed bounty hunter, Jango Fett, as you track a renegade Jedi across the galaxy, collecting information (and bounties) along the way.

In addition to Jango's trademark dual blaster pistols, your armor bristles with gadgets and weaponry: darts, flamethrower, blowtorch, scanner, cable snare, and--of course--a missile-launching jetpack. Use this arsenal to battle hordes of uncooperative guards, fend off rival bounty hunters, scale precipitous skyscrapers, and capture fugitives--dead or alive. The basic controls are surprisingly easy to master, and you've got enough armament at your disposal to fight your way out of almost any situation. Still, some finesse is required: as fun as it is to walk into a room and blast everything in sight (and it is fun--especially when you're the one wearing the jetpack), you may discover when the smoke clears that the guy you just fried was worth twice as much alive. Oh well...

The complex storyline is revealed by extended cutscenes that let you rest your thumbs while Jango follows up the next lead. (Star Wars fans will appreciate the quality and detail of these scenes, as well as the fidelity of the story arc--namely how Jango is chosen as the model for the clone troopers in Episode II.) And anyone familiar with the Lucas Arts suite of games will not be disappointed by the superior graphics, music, sound effects, and fully realized characters and locations. The pace of the game is up to you: methodically seek out the secrets of each level, or ruthlessly blast your way to the big payoff. --Maile Bohlmann

Pros:

• Impressive graphics and rich detail
• Excellent scripting and voicing
• Nice balance between action and strategy
• Controller setup is intuitive and easy to learn

Cons:

• Long stretches between save points
• Climbing sequences can become redundant
• Weapons must be holstered to use scanner, leaving you vulnerable

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh how I wish for a sequel to this awesome game!, March 20, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Star Wars Bounty Hunter (Video Game)

This was the second game I ever got for PS2 and I just love it. I still go back to it after several years for nothing more than the thrills and good times it has to offer. Bounty Hunter isn't perfect but it is one of the better Star Wars games I've played and its a great third person shooter. I remember how much the graphics, cutscenes, effects, sound, and dialog blew me away a couple years ago and all I can do today is appreciate all these things more. Every time I play the game (I've played it a lot) I find new things to mess around with, whether it be small rodent creatures to blast or secret areas containing heavy weapons. The worlds are immerse with detail and most are actually almost beautiful. The explosions and laser blasts that fill the levels all look great, as do the characters, who's lypsyncing and motions are excellently executed. The action gameplay is fast paced with a very high frame rate. The sound design sounds as though it was taken directly from a Star Wars film. And most of all, the story is very entertaining, from your first encounter with the villanous scum Meeko, to your stealing of Slave 1 from an astroid prision, to meeting Tyranus. The story takes you all around the galaxy and be prepared to meet up with some familiar characters such as Zam Weesel. Many have complained about the game's repetetivness and lousy camera and I will admit that the camera tends to work a little strangly at times, but it certainly can be controled and is not something to get all worked up over. Bounty Hunter's action has never boared me and I find it's controls to be intruative and easy to use. Star Wars Bounty Huter is an excellent game with high production values and many good things going for it, I truely hope Lucas Arts releases a sequel for it because it is one of the best games I have ever played. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, November 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars Bounty Hunter (Video Game)

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical before I played Star Wars Bounty Hunter. I wasn't sure what to think of the pics and previews. Thankfully, it turned out to be a great game!

The graphics are much better than I was expecting (the lighting is superb). And the action can get pretty intense. When Jango uses his two blaster pistols, he can shoot at seperate enemies in different directions at once. And he can fire them pretty fast (as rapidly as you can hit the fire button). When coupled with ducking, rolling, and use of the jetpack, this can lead to some awesome gun fights. The flamethrower is pretty cool too.

The story's pretty good for an action title and there are some quality cut scenes with quality voice acting. Morrison is the best of the bunch in this title. He plays a great Jango and he gets to show more personality than he was able to in the movie (but not too much personality - they still keep him kinda shady which is good). I like how he handles some of the situations in the game - he's very aggressive and forceful.

There's just one thing I really wish they would have added - a little more animation for Jango. Don't get me wrong though. Jango stills has a decent amount of it, but when you switch weapons - ala switching to blaster pistols - it would have been cool if Jango would actually draw them out/put them away instead of them just appearing. But I guess that's just a little thing they could have added to make the game a bit more polished. It's still a great action game anyway.

A Kid's Review

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Star Wars Bounty Hunter (Video Game)

We thought this game was awesome! Starwars fan or not this is the game for you! It is exciting and the levels are in a variety of exotic locations. The levels are long and loading is speedy. The only problem is sometimes you reach a level that is hard and takes a while to get past. The pattern is about 3 or so easier levels and then a more chalenging one. You get a variety of weopons including your pistols, whipcord, jetpack mounted mistles and other fun toys. You see a variety of cool aliens and can get secondary bounties on all the levels. Also the graphics are cool but not too disgusting so it isn't like a mature game. One of my favorite parts is the very cool wildlife (also dangerous). Get this game! Hey even my older sister loves it!
