Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a remaster of the 2002 motion platformer. You play as Jango Fett when he is nonetheless a bounty hunter, earlier than the creation of the clone military. He is voiced by his live-action actor, Temuera Morrison, and the story is an attention-grabbing and surprisingly humorous look into the lifetime of one of many movies’ extra mysterious characters. This remaster is a trustworthy port of the unique recreation, however sadly carries over its flaws, too.
The third-person shooter’s six chapters encompass three ranges every; chapters three and up ramp up the issue significantly. Utilizing Jango’s jetpack you must navigate more and more difficult platforming sections, and the old-fashioned design means there is not any minimap or quest markers, so you must navigate utilizing your instinct. The degrees look sharper within the remaster, as do the cutscenes, however some visible bugs and poor framing might’ve achieved with some work.
Fight is easy but satisfying. Jango has quite a few weapons that change between ranges, however he all the time has his helpful blasters. Ranged enemies dodge and flank, however melee ones merely cost you in a straight line, making them straightforward pickings for the flamethrower. It might’ve been good to see some enhancements to enemy AI, as a result of because it stands, the primary means they get more difficult is by turning into extra quite a few, however there’s at the very least good selection with them. The lock-on digital camera is the toughest enemy, although, usually glitching and making Jango sway wildly.
The sport turns into nearly Soulslike in its enemy placement, placing them round corners and having them drop down from the ceiling. You get 5 lives every stage, and as soon as they’re gone you must begin it once more. It is classically retro and a welcome change from at this time’s overly forgiving video games. The losses are brutal, however the victories are candy, so by the tip of the story you’re feeling such as you’ve overcome an excellent problem and confirmed your value as the perfect bounty hunter within the galaxy.
Total, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter missed a chance so as to add much-needed polish, however if you wish to revisit a childhood basic, you’ll be proud of this trustworthy remaster.
