In practice it's a tedious bore, thanks to horrible implementation details. In theory, it's a cool idea to chase down fugitives among the game's hundreds of NPCs. Perhaps the saddest disappointment is the game's bounty hunting aspect.
It sounds like a promising framework for an action game, but alas, numerous issues prevent it from delivering on its potential. This is never required, but is an optional side objective throughout the game's six chapters and 18 missions. Since he's supposed to be a bounty hunter, he can also capture any being with a bounty on its head and redeem them for galactic credits. If ever a Star Wars character was ready-made for an action game, it'd be him. Fett can run, jump, roll, hang on ledges, climb, fly short distances with his jetpack, and shoot up his enemies with a nasty arsenal that includes blasters, toxic darts, and back-mounted homing rockets. Star Wars Bounty Hunter is a third-person action game, with an emphasis on the action. But, unbeknownst to him, he's not the only bounty hunter on the case. He accepts the job, and sets off to track down a lead on the shadowy cult. Still, Jango's a consummate professional, and this could be the big break he needs. In fact, no bounty hunter who's ever gone after them has lived to tell the tale. These guys are bad news, and worse enemies. err, Tyranus, offering an astronomical sum for the capture of the ex-Jedi leader of a disruptive cult called the Bando Gora. Soon enough he receives a transmission from Darth Dook. common criminals, debtors, white rappers. The game begins with Fett on the prowl for some small-time bounties. Star Wars Bounty Hunter puts you into the Mandalorian armor of the Old Republic's most feared bounty hunter, in an adventure that takes place between the events of the two most recent films. So nice, in fact, that LucasArts has given him his own game. Given his quasi-mystical status among fans, it was a nice treat to see his sorta-kinda father Jango in action during last summer's Star Wars Episode II. For a minor Star Wars character whose greatest onscreen moment is hurtling into a Sarlacc pit, Boba Fett gets a surprising amount of respect.
