At first glance, Bounty Hunter looks like a really awesome game with excellent graphics. But it is much more complex than that. Bounty Hunter is more of a "mixed bag" with some good things and some bad things.
The story is this: You play as Jango Fett, 20 or so years BEFORE the Clone Wars. The whole story sort of revolves around Count Dooku trying to get you to be the `host' for a cloning project on Kamino. While the levels don't relate to this directly, they do involve going after an archenemy of yours named Montross. The story does show the evolution of Jango and Zam's partnership, and even shows how Jango gets the Slave 1! Basically you blast your way through level after level with an assortment of weapons ranging from blaster guns to flamethrowers. One cool addition is the jetpack which allows for increased movement throughout the level.
The game has nice menus and starts you off with a nice movie hat leads into the first level. The graphics are nice in the movie but look a little bit plain. The graphics in the game are pretty good though, although this varies from level to level. Sometimes the camera will shake around if you get into a REALLY tight corner. But other than that things look real for the most part.
The sound is great if nothing new; it consists of the same old blaster sounds from the Star Wars movies. But the voices are spectacular. Jango's voice has been recorded by actor Temuera Morrison himself, as well as the voice of Zam Wesell by none other than Leeanna Walsman. Although Count Dooku and Darth Sidious's voice leave something to be desired, the rest seem appropriate for their characters.
Throughout the game you basically just shoot at whatever shoots at you, and climb over, jetpack over, or jump over any obstacles that get in your way. Occasionally the game requires some thinking, but overall it is fun. And if you get bored completing the levels, you can go off in search of bounties. While sometimes fun, it is often very frustating. To find a bounty, you must scan them with your ID scanner. But this requires you to holster your weapons. So while aiming at a person with your scanner to see if they have a bounty on them, you can get shot. It becomes particularly frustating when your bounty is surrounded by thugs or when it is shooting at you. This is one of the major downsides of the game.
The other downside are the levels themselves. With only 3 levels on Coruscant and 3 levels on Tatooine, you wish there were more of them as they are classic Star Wars locations. The levels themselves are big, which is a good thing in the beginning, but really hurts replayability. The game gets VERY hard as you progress, and after spending 45 minutes on one level only to die with the end in sight, you don't even want to try it again. They also aren't designed with multiple passages and ledges, so you can't really explore all over the place.
Overall the game is an average game, but definitely not one of Lucasarts best. I don't see why they don't just make a third-person game based on the original Star Wars movies....

If u like Star Wars you'll love this. You're Jango Fett, the meanest of the mean. The most ruthless of the ruthles. U use a jetpack, a missile, dual Weststar-34 blasters, a sniper rifle, and grenades. The levels r awesome. U also get to kick some low-life "rear end".

This game rocks! Totally ignore the guy who wrote a review saying the graphics are terrible. There are games with better graphics out there but what's more important gameplay or graphics. You get to play as Jango Fett (which in itself makes this a great game) and battle through eighteen huge levels. you get loads of different weapons such as grenade launchers, flame throwers, a sniper rifle, and a bunch of others. This isn't one of those piece o' junk games that you can beat in one day, this one actually gives you a challenge. Definetly buy this game.

This is the absolute last game I will be buying from Lucas Arts until I try said game out via rental first. Frankly, the quality and design of this game is an embarrassment to it's producers and an insult to SW fans.
The game as advertised:
The game promises bounty hunter action, flying about as the dreaded Jango, ruthlessly collering wanted bounties in a world realized by the graphical power of the gamecube.
The game as it is:
One of the first thing you'll notice is the poor graphics. Really, when I loaded up this game I thought I was back on the N64. While there are a few good bits, most of the graphics consist of pasty textures with little or no detail (rooms are just a series of rectangles). Anyone who has played Metroid Prime will see an immediate world of difference between these two games. Metroid Prime was created by someone with a love of the game, BH looks like some flunking art students school project.
If you think you're going to be crusing the sky via jetpack, stealthily hunting bounties? Think again. The jetpack is but a poor man's booster, operating for about two seconds maximum. It's bascially good for jumping a little higher.
Forget stealth, their isn't any. In fact the idiot AI on this game can actually have you standing in a room in plain view of a bounty but as the AI is triggered by distance your enemy can't 'see' you.
Combat is equally sophisticated: Mash the A button to fire blaster at groups of identicle enemies, collect health energy, repeat. Enemies are basically all look alikes with a few variations.
Here's the worst part. In order to actually collect a bounty you have to identify the target and 'mark them'. Sounds plausible enough right? Well execution is terribly clumbsy - you have to actually holster your guns to scan for bounties. That's right - if five guys are running towards you...you have to stop, put away your guns and scan them...as they are blasting away at you. If you are lucky you'll survive long enough to mark your bounty. Fortunatley the game is rediculously geared toward the easy side...so even this flaw is not a roadblock to progress.
In short...spend your money elsewhere. I don't even have the heart to suggest renting this game as I did for AOTC.
