The AI seems to all have perfect aim, but lack the brains to match. And what doesn’t help is that enemy AI can be all over the place. In the end, sloughing through room after room of tons of enemies until you’ve either blasted them all or found your way out of the room gets tiring after 6 hours of doing it. On the flip side, having dual pistols totally makes up for it, allowing you to waste all those in your way rather fast. You’ll have to press a trigger button to lock-on foes, but it’ll never pick any one close to you or the one doing you the most damage. Besides one time where you provide cover fire for Zam, the only real thing to do in levels is pound the trigger button until it’s time for a cutscene. Let the hunt begin.īut as busy, fun, and interesting as the story may sound, the gameplay is largely hit or miss. Unfortunately, so too does Jango’s nemesis, Montross. Jango, working with his female buddy Rozz the Toydarian on bounties, gets the call. Dooku, always the genius, goes the lazy route and recruits two ruthless bounty hunters to destroy the Bando Gora, effectively knocking out two gundarks with one stone.
Basically, Count Dooku (called by his Darth name, Tyranus, throughout the entire game) gets orders from Darth Sidious to take out a pesky death stick cult called the Bando Gora and finally find a template for the clone army he’s creating. Sounds like a busy game, no? It is, and it’s a blast to watch it all unfold, despite the game’s largely repetitious gameplay. Along the way, you’ll travel from the underbelly to the skyscrapers of Coruscant, break in (and out) of the maximum security prison on Oovo IV, shoot up Malastare, get mixed in some Hutt politics on Tatooine, and take out the spooky Bando Gora cult and its Dark Jedi leader on the moons of Bogden (ring a bell from Attack of the Clones?). Set just after the events of The Phantom Menace, Bounty Hunter uncovers how Jango got Slave 1, became the clone template for the Republic’s army, why he chose to have an unaltered clone for himself, and how he met Zam Wesell. The third-person shooter will test your trigger finger and your patience, but it’s an overall fun romp as one of the most feared men in the galaxy.
Seeing the potential in uncovering some of the hazy backstory on how Jango became the clone template for the Republic’s army, LucasArts went ahead and made 2002’s Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Lots of new fans (and old) couldn’t help but be interested in Jango Fett as much as, if not more than, his son. So when Attack of the Clones revealed Boba’s father and origins, things got even more interesting. Sure, he kind of went out like a punk in Return of the Jedi, but his EU/Legends presence is profound and shouldn’t be missed. Though Boba Fett didn’t have much dialogue, his demeanor, armor, and capture of Han Solo left quite an impression on Star Wars fans.
