Bounty Hunter is pure action and adventure and never stops throwing things at you.
There is very little puzzle solving to be done, and the few puzzles the game has involve discovering ways to get to other parts of levels (such as finding a weak grate to cut through or going hand-over-hand across poles). One character even suggests Jango's reason for wanting a clone for his own.Īlthough it may look like your standard third person adventure game, Bounty Hunter is actually more in line with most run n' gun games. Players will discover the real story behind Jaster Mareel, the origins of Slave I, and the story behind why Jango was chosen to be the primary sample for the Clone Army. Over the course of the game, many questions about Jango and Boba's past will be answered. Even the voice work manages to come off as top-rate.īounty Hunter takes place a few years before Episode II and serves as a background story for both the clone army and Jango Fett. Everything - from the swelling musical score, to the most insignificant of background noises - sounds fantastic and really brings the experience home. Considering how good the sound is in every other Star Wars game, you wouldn't think there was must room for improvement, but Skywalker Sound found a way. When it comes to sound, nobody does it better than Skywalker Sound. When things get really intense, he can quickly move into a graceful back flip or side flip while still firing. There is nothing like pulling out Jango's dual blasters and letting loose on some poor sap. Until now, Dante from Devil May Cry was one of the most fluent gunmen on the system - but Dante hasn't met Jango. I was especially impressed with the character animation. Although the game is weak when it comes to eye-candy such as lighting effects, and tends to reuse textures quite a bit - it's still a work of art. Each of the game's story scenes are nothing short of impressive and are just oozing with Star Wars goodness. It's a know fact that the boys and girls at ILM really know their way around a computer, and it shows. This is due mostly in part to an unusual video game alliance between Lucasarts and the technical wizards at both ILM and Skywalker sound. Although most have wanted a Boba Fett based game, the ability to play as the most feared Bounty Hunter in the world's 'father' is just as good.īounty Hunter is one of the best looking and sounding Star Wars games yet on the PS2. I'm sure Lucasarts is well aware of just how long Star Wars fans have waited for this game.
