A lock-on helps to keep enemies in your sights during battles or in a crowd, and the jetpack is used with a shoulder button. Typical actions are attached to the buttons on front, like jumping and shooting or taking action during the game. Falls, slips and unpredictable controls really rob much of the fun, and relegate the later levels to none but the faithful. Clambering over obstacles and doing lots of fancy maneuvers is a nice idea, but too much of the time Jango handles like a Geo Metro in a dry river-bed. Just don't get any ideas about doing too much scouting in a big fight or you'll find yourself scouting the floor as a dead body. From afar, before anyone knows you're there, scouting for bounties is a good idea. So, it is worthless once a battle starts, and ends up being a different twist on sniper action at best. Pressing a button puts you in this mode, but doesn't do anything to stop enemies from coming at you. Experiences with poor control and awkward design choices may trump the great story for all but the most dedicated Star Wars fans. Getting through the game is not as challenging as it is cheap and sometimes just plain boring. The dark side is when you find that using all the cool weapons and mastering Jango's moves is harder than molasses in January.

Special weapons you gather during the game help keep life interesting, such as the cluster missiles and sniper rifle. But, when a live capture is needed, you can use whipcord to bind him and take him in still breathing. Once you identify a possible bounty, you mark him and grab him. Slipping into a special mode allows you to look around in first person to see what bad guy (or creature) might have a price on his head. During the course of a level, you'll have to make your way toward one or more objectives, but you are always on the lookout for a bounty. The high points are in the 'cool' factor Jango has with his gadgets and his 'take no prisoners' persona. There are many good things and some very frustrating things contained here, so even true fans may find themselves throwing up a controller now and then. Personally, if this didn't have Star Wars stamped all over it, I don't think it would be viewed as more than a solid 3D action title.

Lots of little story points are sure to please Star Wars' fans, but the question of whether Bounty Hunter could stand on its own without the license is up for debate. The prize is huge, and Jango is pulled in along with other bounty hunters intent on being first to claim the prize for Dooku and Sidious. To avoid spoiling any of the story, I can say that the premise of the action is a hunt for a rebel Jedi leading a fringe group against the plans Count Dooku and Darth Sidious have to sow discontent and confusion within the Republic.

Some of the commentary can come off a bit cheesy, but that pretty much fits in with the movie anyway, doesn't it?īounty Hunter covers a period of time predating Episode II, and among a host of other 'secrets,' explains why Jango ended up as the model for the Clone Army. Musically, the drama and orchestral surges of the movie are part of the action, and the sound effects are pulled right from the movie as well.

Count Dooku, Zam Wesell (Jango's accomplice in the first part of Episode II.the one he hastily dispatched after she was caught), and several other immediately recognizable characters from the last movie appear, but characters dating back to the original appearance of Boba Fett also show up in Bounty Hunter. The look and feel of Bounty Hunter is sheer perfection, and you'll see events play out that provide backstory to the movies and show things you would have wanted to see in the movie if you'd even known about them. The beauty of LucasArts is that they can develop a product that integrates completely with the Star Wars universe. can still enjoy great graphics and sound, though. Those of us mortals without the couple of g's to drop on a big T.V. This is one damn fine looking game, and I really envy you HDTV or EDTV owners with your fancy progressive scan mode. So, to jump into Bounty Hunter on Gamecube gave me no end of pleasure. After Episode I and II, Boba's father Jango only seemed more cool, if a little less mysterious. The one where you could launch a grappling hook and look through Boba Fett's helmet like you were sighting in on an enemy. Anyone with an ounce of love in his heart for Star Wars can attest to how much we all wanted to be Boba Fett after his first appearance in the original trilogy.
