The first time I heard of this game I thought it was a must have. I thought it would be awesome to play as my favorite star wars character. In fact, once I got a Gamecube, it was the first game I got. Here are the pros and cons of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
pros:
1-You get to play as the most feared Bounty Hunter in the galaxy.
2-You have all the weapons Jango has in the movies.
3-It has a good plot.
cons:
1-Levels are way to long and hard. Sometimes you don't even know what the heck you have to do to advance.
2-Graphics could use a little bit more work.
3-It's only one player. This game would be awesome if you could play cooperative.
I would suggest renting this game before actually buying it, to see if you like it or not.

Bounty Hunter is a game that follows Jango Fett, the father of the classic Boba Fett character and also the blueprint for the clone army in the Star Wars prequels. The game chronicles Jango's back story and how Dooku comes to recruit him, and is worth experiencing for Star Wars fans. But it's not always a fun ride.
The biggest problem I had was with the weapon selection and switching. Jango comes with all his trademark weapons from the film (flame thrower, rockets, grenades, darts, capture cord, etc), but only his standard twin pistols are effective in a firefight when you've got enemies swarming and shooting at you from all sides. With their average strength and accuracy, and Jango's limited amount of health, you'll be dying often as you make your way through the levels. Switching to other weapons requires going through an unintuitive pause screen (unless you want to be shot while doing so), and the rest of Jango's arsenal would've been much more useful if they could be mapped to the controller buttons and accessed on the fly.
The game also has an interesting bounty-hunting aspect where you can nab bounties that in turn unlock extras from the main menu. However, the process of identifying, marking, and capturing a bounty alive is more complicated than it should be, and you'll often be left vulnerable while trying to nab an enemy alive.
What Lucasarts does well with, like always, is the overall Star Wars polish. The in-game graphics aren't always amazing, but the cutscenes are nicely produced. Strong sound effects, John Williams music and voice-acting from the likes of Temura Morrison, Leeanna Walsman, Clancy Brown and Corey Burton really sell the Star Wars experience. And there's always the comic book panels, concept art, trading card images, and other extras to unlock.
In the end, Bounty Hunter is still a very playable game, and dedicated Star Wars fans will certainly find this a worthwhile purchase (especially now, as it should be relatively cheap). There's really nothing outstanding to recommend to non-fans though, and the coolness of playing as Jango is occasionally lost in the clumsy weapons and bounty system. For the galaxy's most-feared bounty hunter, our boy gets killed pretty easily.

This is one of the greatest Star Wars games! Not only do you get to claim bounties other than the main baddies, but you can fry civilians! Nothing can satisfy you more then the sight of a well-done resident. You can use a bunch of weapons, like saberdart launchers, twin blaster pistols, whip-cord, ID scanners, and more!
You can't stop playing this game once you start. The graphics are great and the music is fabulous. The voices are also good. Bounty Hunter takes place through episodes one and two, so there's plenty of game play.
You will travel through many worlds and places like the home of some tusken raiders, or the skyscrapers of coruscant. You have to take out millions of Republic guards, aliens, out-laws, and rival bounty hunters. This game is over-all a great, must have game!

This is a phenomenal game. If your a Star Wars fan especially, you'll be knocked out by the Lucasfilm Archives sound effects (Ithorians, Jawas, Tuskens, and Gonk Droids to name a few).
I don't understand the complaints either with the gameplay. Those who claim to have "beat" the game in a single day are simply playing video games too much. The mere length of the game would require, literally, a day...and that's providing a perfect performance on your debut outing! But then, I suppose anyone who plays video games that much isn't going to be surprised by much; many games have structure similar to this one, but I've seen few pull it off with as much panache and grace. The controls are pretty easy to master, offer a ton of variety, and the enemies provide ample challenge. As far as the bounties go, I had a blast looking for them. They don't offer anything necessary, per se, for the gameplay to take place (in other words, you can simply blast 'em all if you want), but provide a personal & fun challenge, much like trophy hunting in Tournament Melee does.
The atmosphere is simply enchanting, atmospheric and increasingly creepy as the game goes on. Ultimately, as a Star Wars fan, you will be submersed into a convincing, enveloping world that is already familiar to you from the movies. It will be a joy for you just to walk through it!
The voice acting was done by Temuerra Morrison (Jango), Clancy Brown (Montross) and even the woman who actually played Zam Wessel in Attack of the Clones. Extremely well done with great cut scenes and outtakes.
I only hope a sequel will appear someday.

This game is awesome! With great graphics, great gameplay , and a great storyline. There's so many weapons and devices to choose from you can blast 'em, burn 'em, catch 'em, shock 'em, explode 'em, and just totally demolish them! The only drawback is you have to keep tapping buttons in the middle of a fight to get the weapon you want. And that sometimes hurts your health. It's a fairly hard game and is very enjoyable! It's awesome dodging bullets, fighting dozens of baddies at once, flying around and shooting everything! There's alot of great things to this game that makes up for the little nuisance of switching weapons around. Stick with the dual blasters and have a blast!!!
