Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

8/10

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was always a cult favourite but Aspyr’s native port of the classic adventure comes adorned with modernised controls and polished visuals making it a must-play for fans of the original and a fun bit of history for newcomers.

I did notice that in some cutscenes, NPCs in the background would be T-posing very comically as each scene played out. I’m not certain if this is a remaster issue or an original game issue, but it’s a bit distracting during the more serious scenes. The “Continue” system also comes off as a bit dated, as you only get five continues before you have to restart a level entirely. I think at this point, it’d be better to just have unlimited continues rather than hastily implemented lives, but this is a minor issue since the game isn’t especially difficult.

Relive the bounty hunter fantasy and take control of the legendary Jango Fett. Explore the galaxy's underbelly, face off against deadly foes, and capture a fallen Jedi as you explore Jango's story leading up to Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Aspyr has polished the graphics and fixed some of the camera issues that plagued the original, but all the janky problems at the core of the 2002 game remain.

Aspyr Media's port of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is missing a lot of the atmosphere I loved about the original game. The sharpness in the visuals now remove too much, and shine a spotlight on the game's worst angles. At the same time, the modern control scheme improves on the experience so much that the parts of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter that made it a classic are able to shine brighter far more than they ever did - even if the camera is still wreaking havoc most of the time.

More than two decades later, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a tough one to recommend. If you do have fond memories of this game, you may be more forgiving of its dated design and gameplay, but ultimately there are much better Star Wars offerings out there. Aspyr hasn't changed much beyond adding the modern controls and camera, so unless that's a big enough reason for you to return, this might not necessarily be the Bounty Hunter game you’ve been looking for.

22 years since its original release in 2022, Aspyr has released a remaster of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, the action game starring the iconic bounty hunter Jango Fett from Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Despite improved graphics and performance, as well as some welcome control scheme updates, the core experience of the 2002 original is preserved in this release, warts and all. While there is certainly some fun to be had, it is buried in clunky mechanics, absurd difficulty spikes a...

While the remaster does what it said it was going to do with cleaning up the visuals and providing a “better” control scheme, a remaster should only preserve the original so closely if the game was actually fun to begin with.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter isn't a good game, nor is it necessarily bad, but its age shows as you play through its campaign. Not only that but the port quality and terrible camera controls leave a lot to be desired.
