A refreshed version of the popular TPP game from 2002. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter allows us to play as the famous Jango Fett who receives a new dangerous mission from Count Dooku. There are nearly 20 levels in the game in which we fight and deal with various obstacles.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a third-person action game. It is a refreshed version of the game with the same title released in 2002 for PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles. The production was handled by Aspyr studio, responsible for other modernized games from the Star Wars universe, such as: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
In the game we play as the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who we may recognize from the second episode of the movie saga. The action of the game takes place before the movie's story and is set between the first and second episode.
While carrying out minor missions involving tracking down criminals and debtors, Jango is contacted by Darth Tyranus (also known as Count Dooku). He offers a generous reward in exchange for the capture of former Jedi Master Bango Gor. The bounty hunter accepts the mission despite the fact that no other hunter has managed to accomplish it.
The game is divided into 18 missions, which are located on 6 different worlds, including Tatooine and Coruscant.
In order to complete individual missions, we use the hunter's physical fitness to fight hand-to-hand, run, jump and climb various platforms. We can rely on helpful weapons and gadgets from our arsenal, such as flamethrowers, double blasters and a jet backpack that allows us to take part in short-distance flights.
Each mission is also an opportunity to meet characters with whom we have the opportunity to cooperate and talk. Over a hundred characters appear in the game, including some known from the movies.
The audio and the visuals in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter have not changed compared to the original from 2002. However, modern technical changes have been added, such as Steam Deck and DualSense support (we can use adaptive triggers on the controller).

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter finally made it to PC and was received better than Battlefront Classic Collection. Mainly, because of the lack of (broken) multiplayer.

Game Ratings for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Video Game.
PlayStation Universe: 7 / 10 by David Carcasole
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.
Press Start: 8 / 10 by James Wood
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.
NintendoWorldReport: 7 / 10 by John Rairdin
It still isn't perfect, but it is largely an improvement on the original release, which I cannot always say for their ports and remasters. The Switch version specifically gets nearly all the new graphical features while maintaining 60 frames-per-second. While you may have forgotten just how repetitive Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is over the last twenty years, this is a pretty solid way to play it, so long as you can put up with a slightly shorter version of Jango Fett than you're used to.
