Rating: - Truly a great game
I'm by no means a huge gamer, but I do have quite a soft spot for Bounty Hunter. The game gives a strong and interesting backstory to Jango Fett while engaging you in enjoyable gameplay. There's something intangible about this game that makes it feel...real. It's not that the graphics are absolutely impeccable, though they're generally quite good - not to mention the mindblowing cutscenes, courtesy of ILM. There's just something about the way the levels are laid out, about the combination of sneaking around and having shootouts with the enemy, about the sound design, about the variety of experiences you have on the different worlds. It's just generally a lot of fun to play.

The controls are quite easy to use, for the most part, though that's not to say the game itself is always easy. Certain areas can become quite difficult to get through, particularly when there are multiple enemies with missile launchers or sniper rifles...or when facing the genuinely scary Bando Gora for the first time.

The only real downside to this game is the lack of any real puzzles. Although you're not shooting all the time, you're almost always either doing that or sneaking around, trying to figure out where to go. In that sense, there's perhaps a little less intellectual stimulation than I'd like. But it's still quite a blast.

Bottom line: if you're a Star Wars fan, you'll have a great time playing this game, and you'll look awesome in the process, too. =P Jango has a propensity for doing that, no matter whether he's flying, blasting away at multiple enemies with both pistols, capturing bounties, flipping through the air in unusual ways, or all of the above at the same time.
