It's too bad that the only comparison to be drawn between TIE Fighter and Bounty Hunter is that they both let you play as Star Wars bad guys, since beyond that, Bounty Hunter doesn't exactly rank up there as one of the better Star Wars games. That approach is not unlike what LucasArts did with its classic bad-guy-focused space combat sim, TIE Fighter. That's actually pretty interesting, and if you're a big Star Wars fan, you'll enjoy seeing new events from the story told from the bad guys' perspective. Thus, even though Jango Fett himself might not realize it, during the course of Star Wars Bounty Hunter you'll know you're really just helping set up an evil trap.
At the beginning of the game, Darth Sidious-later Emperor Palpatine-is shown speaking to his apprentice, Darth Tyrannus (also known as Count Dooku, the character played by Christopher Lee in the film), whom he orders to seek out the most skilled, most efficient bounty hunter in the galaxy. In Episode II, we learn that Jango is the template for the Republic's mysterious clone army, and Star Wars Bounty Hunter explains how Jango came to be chosen for this important role. The story of Bounty Hunter is probably the best aspect of the game and is told through well-done 3D cutscenes using good voice-over-Jango himself is voiced by Temuera Morrison, the same actor who plays him in the movie. Fortunately, the events of Star Wars Bounty Hunter take place well before that moment.
If you've seen Attack of the Clones, then you know that Jango, shall we say, loses his head near the conclusion of the film. You'll play as Jango Fett during the course of Star Wars Bounty Hunter. Unfortunately, the game has some pretty glaring shortcomings all around, and while the design might have looked solid on paper, it just didn't make for a fun, engaging, or good-looking game. Now Boba Fett's predecessor is the star of his very own video game in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, a third-person action game that allows you to do most all of the cool moves that Jango did in the film. Attack of the Clones met with mixed reactions-it featured plenty of impressive special effects along with plenty of awkward romantic sequences, but the scenes featuring Jango and son stood out among the highlights. There we also learned of where Boba Fett apparently mastered the tricks of the trade: from his father, Jango. Though true Star Wars geeks are quick to cite that Boba first appeared not in Empire but as a cartoon character in the embarrassing 1978 TV production The Star Wars Holiday Special, we got a surprising glimpse at the bounty hunter as a young boy in this year's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. One of the most popular Star Wars characters has always been Boba Fett, the soft-spoken yet ruthless bounty hunter seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
