Second only to "Star Wars: Jedi Knight--Dark Forces II.", 30 November 2002
Author: lurch1234-1 from oblivion

COMPLETELY awesome game. I was reluctant at first to purchase this game because I still don't trust George Lucas for his failure with "Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace." I was rather concerned with this game also because it seems as though that George Lucas is attempting to mass-produce video games to push his movies. Often times, quality is sacrificed for quantity. On the other hand, the game's main character IS, quite possibly, the coolest character to ever grace the the "Star Wars" screen. As it turns out, this is the greatest piece of "Star Wars" memorabilia to come around in recent history.

"Star Wars: Bounty Hunter" exposes some of the dirtier, darker elements that exist in the perfect, beautiful world of George Lucas' second "Star Wars" trilogy. We get to see the under-world of Coruscant, which we only get to see little bit of during "Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones."

Not only does this game have a dark feeling to it, it also has enormous levels. This is what reminds me most of "Star wars: Jedi Knight--Dark Forces II." The villains are very unlikeable, plus it gives you somewhat of a background that surrounds Jango Fett, the father of the legendary Boba Fett.

All around, I LOVE this game. It is, by far, one of my favorite games on the PlayStation II, and I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anybody.

A marvelous biography of Jango Fett., 16 November 2004
Author: Star Wars Lover (ilovestarwars@ubbi.com.br) from Brazil

If you like being the violent policeman, you'll like this game.I love this game, too, specially because I'm fan of Star Wars and Jango Fett too. The game's history acts between EpisodeI and EpisodeII.Jango Fett is hired by Darth Tyrannus(Count Dooku, if you prefer) to locate and kill a revolting Sith.Then, Jango would earn 10 MILLION credits. But the Rogue Sith isn't the only person you have to hunt.The game has 6 chapters( Each one in a different planet ).In each chapter Jango hunts a different person.But you can hunt more people, too.You can use your scanner and see if the person is wanted.Then, mark you will hunt that person and when you get it you will get more money! This is my favorite Star Wars game in Nintendo Gamecube.My scor for this game is 10/10.

Great game but gets a bit tedious., 21 May 2005
Author: Highwithoutweed from New Zealand

This game was definitely my kind of game. It puts you in the shoes of bounty hunter Jango Fett and shows you his origins and how he became worthy of being the base of the clone army.

You have to strategize to get through places and at the same time blast huge amounts of enemies with your trusty duel pistols, so much fun. You will frequently get stuck as there is no indicator on where to go but you will quickly figure it out. It's one of those types of games.

My only real complaint is you can only save between each level and they give you five continues from the beginning of the level. When you get to the more difficult parts you will find yourself quite vulnerable and constantly defeated and using all your continues. This will cause you to restart the whole massive level and can be tedious.

Recommended not only to star wars fans (I'm not even one) but to anyone who enjoys a good shoot out. 8/10

Great for Fett fans and otherwise..., 19 July 2006
10/10

I personally feel that this game hasn't gotten the respect it deserves, maybe because in this day and age it's the first-person shooters that get the respect. This game has elements that a strategist and a lover of blasting things to death would enjoy. The fact that there is no map makes the game much more realistic than many other games, and has the better effect of making you feel like you are in Fett's shoes. You have almost every weapon that Jango possesses at your command, including his trade mark dual blasters as can be seen in Attack of the Clones, flamethrower, whipcord, missiles, zam wessel's sniper rifle, as well as the "mysterious" toxic darts (though not the kaminoan kind). You also don't have to go very far before you meet enemies that give you a run for your money, which makes the game all the more fun. On top of that, it explains in a clear way the background of how Jango was selected to be the host of the clone army. All that's missing now is a game for Jango's son. My score, 10/10.

Don't waste your time, 20 July 2004
Author: Drachaen

Cute for about 10 minutes before it becomes a mindless laserfest. No map so its easy to get lost. The "Bounty Tracking" system is poorly laid out. Which results in getting shot a lot. The money you get from bounties really serves no purpose.

Overall a disappointment. Something that could have been very cool, such as a Manhunt with better controls a star wars theme became a mindless shoot 'em up. Rather indictative of most of Lucas's work. Lots of flash, very little substance.

You want a good star wars game? go play X-Wing, TIE fighter, Dark Forces or Knights of the Old Republic

3/10
