The story of Bounty Hunter is probably the best aspect of the game and is told through well-done 3D cutscenes using good voice-over-Jango himself is voiced by Temuera Morrison, the same actor who plays him in the movie. Fortunately, the events of Star Wars Bounty Hunter take place well before that moment. If you've seen Attack of the Clones, then you know that Jango, shall we say, loses his head near the conclusion of the film.
You'll play as Jango Fett during the course of Star Wars Bounty Hunter.
Unfortunately, the game has some pretty glaring shortcomings all around, and while the design might have looked solid on paper, it just didn't make for a fun, engaging, or good-looking game. Now Boba Fett's predecessor is the star of his very own video game in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, a third-person action game that allows you to do most all of the cool moves that Jango did in the film. Attack of the Clones met with mixed reactions-it featured plenty of impressive special effects along with plenty of awkward romantic sequences, but the scenes featuring Jango and son stood out among the highlights. There we also learned of where Boba Fett apparently mastered the tricks of the trade: from his father, Jango.

Though true Star Wars geeks are quick to cite that Boba first appeared not in Empire but as a cartoon character in the embarrassing 1978 TV production The Star Wars Holiday Special, we got a surprising glimpse at the bounty hunter as a young boy in this year's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Fair enough.One of the most popular Star Wars characters has always been Boba Fett, the soft-spoken yet ruthless bounty hunter seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. And, as lead tester Andy Alamano states, Youll be able to enjoy Slave 1 in its parked form. To its credit, the games jetpack mechanics do a lot to hasten the pace up several notches. We realty wanted to focus on creating environments that compel you to use your jetpack without making it a full-on flight game, says Hardwick, regarding the lack of Slave 1 action. Those looking to hotrod around space in Slave 1 the famous Fett-family craft will be a little dissappointed, however. She may not be pretty, but shes definitely loyal, and she more than compensates for any verbal challenges jango may suffer. Most of the plotforwarding will be done via Fetts retainer Rozzata, a member of the same squat, winged species as Episode /s Watto. The baddest bad guys dont talk much, says LucasArts associate producer Rachel Hardwick. You can bring them in dead, too, of course. Collect enough of them and youll unlock all sorts of goodies, including alternate characters, bonus movies and bits of concept art. Youll use this last one to great effect when snagging live bounties enemies scattered throughout the levels who have prices on their heads. Apart from his characteristic twin blaster pistols, Jango packs an assortment of space-age hardware including, but not limited to, a sniper rifle, a wrist-mounted flame thrower, a rocket launcher and, of course, his trusty Jedi-snaring whipcord.

What youll be doing, exactly, is guiding jango through a series of Star Wars locales (of both newly-wrought and classic varieties) on missions revolving around blaster-heavy gameplay. The problem is reduced by holding down the button to scroll, which will freeze gameplay while you select the appropriate selection, but when enemies surprise you and start firing, inevitably you'll ended up trying to scroll to a preferred weapon getting blasted the whole time. What happens is if you happen to be using your visor and run into a number of enemies, you frantically scroll through your weapons and gear looking for a specific weapon, only to pass it and have to scroll through them again. This however can prove quite challenging and frustrating as all his gear and weapons are rotated using a single button. For instance, Jango carries a significant amount of gear and weapons that are required to be quickly accessible. The gameplay is more of a mixed bag with problems that can cause unnecessary frustration.
The cut scenes associated with moving the story line forward are also skillfully done and could sell the game by itself. From there the story moves in normal Star Wars fashion and is one of the strong points of the game. Contacted by Count Dooku, he is challenged to eradicate a fallen Jedi whose cult is starting to annoy Darth Sidious. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter picks up shortly after the Phantom Menace as Jango Fett is collecting bounties.
