The 2002 Jango Fett story Star Wars: Bounty Hunter has found a new life on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC thanks to a new HD re-release from Aspyr in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, and early reviews and comparisons confirm that it's head and shoulders above the maligned Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection from earlier this year.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter follows ol' Jango through a galaxy-spanning conspiracy that sets up his role in the events of Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. It's a third-person action-adventure game that's big on blasters and jetpacks but also incorporates a variety of set pieces ranging from stealth and melee sections to sniper galleries and giant bosses. Naturally, you can also scan, tag, capture, or sometimes kill marked bounties found throughout the game's bespoke, remarkably dense levels – some of the many secrets this game is hiding. The best secret may be the collection of unlockable, lovingly animated and voiced "bloopers," many of which continue to live in my head rent-free.
