Star Wars Bounty Hunter Review

There have been many ‘Star Wars‘ video games over time Star Wars Bounty Hunter being one of many . Some good, some dangerous after which the few that are actually legendary video games. It’s a disgrace on condition that ‘EA’ had the ‘Star Wars’ license for 10 years and in that point we noticed solely a complete of 4 console video games and 1 cell sport. You’d suppose that having a license as large as ‘Star Wars’ a big-name studio like ‘EA’ would leap on the alternative to make as many video games based mostly on the property as attainable, however alas it simply wasn’t meant to be.

For one It began off very rocky with two ‘Battlefront’ video games which different in high quality (to not point out the loot crate controversy). It then began to select up with ‘Respawn’s’ ‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ after which adopted up with ‘Jedi: Survivor’. Oh and let’s not overlook the mediocre ‘Star Wars: Squadrons’.

However for a ‘Star Wars’ fan it simply didn’t really feel like sufficient. Fortunately the exclusivity has now ended and now we have ‘Ubisoft’s’ ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’ on the horizon to look ahead to. But it nonetheless doesn’t really feel like sufficient.

Again within the day in the course of the ‘golden age’ of gaming we have been handled to a great deal of ‘Star Wars’ video games. There was a lot to select from and so many nice video games.

Now although the standard of Lucasfilms ‘Star Wars’ tasks has gone down the pan lately with ‘Star Wars: Acolyte’, at the least their gaming division (Lucasfilms Video games) has the appropriate concept by bringing again most of the traditional ‘Star Wars’ video games that we love so dearly.

The ‘goat’ of traditional ‘Star Wars’ video games is also known as ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 2’ and fairly rightly so, nonetheless, the sport that trumps that for my part is the third individual motion journey ‘Star Wars Bounty Hunter‘.

The reminiscences, the nostalgia after I simply say the title is sufficient to make me need to play it once more. And now we have none apart from traditional ‘Star Wars’ wars video games Alumni ‘Aspyr’ to thank for bringing it again.

Now I admit I used to be slightly cautious given the rocky launch of ‘Star Wars Battlefront traditional assortment’, however I’m comfortable to say I used to be overjoyed with the remaster of ‘Bounty Hunter’.

So, let’s have a look.

Now a fast recap of the plot of ‘Star Wars Episode 2: Assault of The Clones’. Rely Dooku hires a bounty hunter known as Jango Fett to assassinate Padmé Amidala. This then spurs Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi council to nominate Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi as Padmé’s bodyguards. Once they find out about Jango Fett it results in the Jedi discovering out in regards to the Clone military, then we go to Geonosis after which the Clone Wars begins. The story of ‘Star Wars Bounty Hunter’ serves as a prequel to this plot line and sits in between ‘Episode :1 The Phantom Menace’ and ‘Episode 2: Assault of The Clones’.

When the chief of a force-sensitive cult known as The Bando Gora poses a menace to Darth Sidious’s grasp plan, he instructs Rely Dooku to take them out but in addition to discover a appropriate topic to be the template for the clone military. Dooku decides to kill two birds with one stone and rent the 2 greatest bounty hunters for the duty, Mandalorians Jango Fett and Montross. So the sport not solely serves because the arrange for the way Jango was embroiled within the assassination makes an attempt on Senator Amidala but in addition for the way he turned the supply and template for the Clone Military. It’s an amazing story that provides extra depth and which means to ‘Assault of The Clones’.

‘Star Wars Bounty Hunter’ was initially launched again in 2002 on the PlayStation 2 and the GameCube. It was one in all my favorite video games again within the day. It was then re-released on the PlayStation 4 which was an emulated model of the PS2 sport. However now Star Wars Bounty Hunter has a brand new life on next-gen consoles. So what’s new? Nicely for one it’s a local port of the sport which means it’s not an emulation just like the 2016 PS4 model which implies it could actually run natively at 60fps with resolutions of as much as 4k.

The graphics have additionally had an improve to make Star Wars Bounty Hunter really feel extra trendy with dynamic lighting & shadows together with movement blur. It provides the sport a sharper and extra interesting look than the outdated unique model. You’ll be able to spot this essentially the most with Jango’s armor which seems to be virtually reflective at occasions. Gotta love that Beskar.

However that’s not the one factor that’s new. The controller has come a great distance because the days of the PlayStation 2 and the GameCube and to replicate this the controller system of ‘Bounty Hunter’ has additionally been up to date to a extra trendy structure. But when your old fashioned and this new controller structure isn’t for you then don’t fear, ‘Bounty Hunter’ gives up a Legacy possibility which options the unique structure. It’s actually a unique feeling for brand new gamers enjoying Star Wars Bounty Hunter for the primary time, however in the event you’re outdated like me and performed Star Wars Bounty Hunter while you have been rising up then the legacy controls are a visit down reminiscence lane.

And that brings me to the nostalgia issue. And Star Wars Bounty Hunter reels it in for me. Taking part in the primary chapter of the sport I out of the blue remembered enjoying out one of many cutscenes with my ‘Star Wars’ figures again within the day making a house film on my dad’s outdated HI 8 video digital camera.

I used to be glued to Star Wars Bounty Hunter again then and to have the ability to play it once more with the brand new controls, up to date visuals and extra achievements is a welcomed reward. I’ve excessive reward for ‘Aspyr’ for bringing again a lot of my favorite Star Wars video games like ‘Republic Commando’, ‘Knights of the outdated republic’ 1 & 2 and likewise ‘Star Wars Racer’. Sure, they’d a miss with the launch of ‘Star Wars: Battlefront Basic Assortment’, however they bounced again and proved their price with the good remaster of Star Wars Bounty Hunter’.

So If you’d like a Star Wars sport that appears like correct Star Wars and makes you’re feeling like a kick-ass bounty hunter, then’ Star Wars Bounty Hunter‘ is the sport for you!
