    While the game is a bit on the linear side, it does a fantastic job of telling an interesting original story.

    Lucas Arts impressed me in some areas (graphics and concept), while disappointing me in others (sound and of course you can’t forget, nauseating camera angles—I’ve ridden roller coasters more stable than the camera was!) with this title.

    There's not a lot of depth to it and the gameplay is repetitive but it's still a whole lot of fun and there are enough distractions to keep you entertained and interested right until the end.

    Gets down to the gritty details of being a bounty hunter in Star Wars and creates an extremely fun experience for the player... Looks good, feels good, and sounds exactly like Star Wars.

    Oddly enough, hunting down targets isn’t integral to gameplay, it's completely optional.

    Strong presentation and story coupled with a tight control scheme, satisfying platformer elements and huge worlds to see and conquer, more than make up for any shortcomings.

    Fantastic sound, great graphics and easily some of the best cinemas yet seen in a video game.

Sure, it was linear and it was almost impossible to snag every bounty in the game without killing them, but the weapons were well-designed and the jet-pack was fun and useful without making the game too easy. The ease of the control-scheme on the GCN controller surpasses that of many Lucas Arts Games.… Full Review »

    A definitely under rated game which had a fantastic atmosphere. The music is also very good, special mention to the main menu music.
