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.
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.
Niche Gamer: 7 / 10 by Fingal Belmont
STAR WARS™: Bounty Hunter™ was never a great game and while this new port does address many of its issues, it still isn’t the best it could be. Despite its flaws, this is still a very enjoyable action game and a lot of that has to do with its sensibilities being tied to the early 2000s when games could let players indulge in their inner sadist and didn’t morally grandstand about their actions. STAR WARS™ might be lame and gay today, but Bounty Hunter™ will always be the cool edgy kid that smoked behind the school.
TechRaptor: 5 / 10 by Austin Suther
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.
