It received middling reviews from critics, landing on “Mixed or Average” on review aggregator Metacritic. The sound and level design, graphics, and length of the game were some of the praised aspects, while the repetitive aspect, technical and control issues, as well as the tediousness of some of the game received criticism.
The game’s story, however, was much-appreciated by the players. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth going through the pains of actually playing the game to experience it, though.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the graphics have been improved with bump maps and new lighting effects, and a flashlight was implemented as well.
Especially on the PlayStation 5, the game has been adapted to make full use of the DualSense controller. Unique adaptive triggers for each of Jango’s weapons, in-game radio through the DualSense speaker, and the lightbar showing your health bar are all added in this remaster.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter Story
You play as bounty hunter Jango Fett in his prime, giving you a more intimate view of his character before his appearance in Attack of the Clones. This game also explains how he got his hands on Slave I, met Zam Wesell, and why he was chosen as the genetic template for the clone troopers.
Sith Lord Darth Tyranus hires Jango Fett to eliminate Dark Jedi Komari Vosa, and his adventure begins as he encounters criminal syndicates and discovers their modus operandi.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter Gameplay
Star Wars Bounty Hunter is a third-person shooter. For most of the game, you play as Jango Fett, using your weapon of choice. His arsenal includes blaster pistols, a flamethrower, poison darts, and missiles.
An unimplemented easter egg involving Boba Fett has been added to this remaster. In the original game, a texture with the message “Cash in all bounties to play as Boba” can be found, but it didn’t make it to the game’s release.
For this remaster, players who complete the campaign will be able to equip a new Boba Fett skin for their next playthrough.
