War ensued over the acquisition and conquest of planets, which lead to employment of mercenaries who would scout planets deemed fit for habitation. The band of these ruthless mercenaries was called Bounty Hounds. As Maximillian, the leader of Bounty Hounds, your mission is to battle different alien species spread across planets.

    Infuriatingly, it's just the sort of thing that would have been exponentially more fun with other people involved.

    There's nothing quite like throwing up your own thunderdome(minus the Tina Turner)and shredding enemies once they've stepped into your invisible arena. [Nov. 2006, p.121]

    A classic example of shoddy execution derailing a slew of great ideas. With a better camera and improved controls, it could have been a real contender. Still, as frustrating as the game can get, it’s enjoyable in short bursts and presents a wealth of good ideas.

    The game doesn't require you to spend too much time leveling up and upgrading weapons(though you can certainly take your time with that)--it cuts right to the action. [Nov. 2006, p.133]

    In short, there's fun to be had here if you're willing to put up with the stuff that sucks. [Nov. 2006, p.146]

    In the great crapshoot of Namco thirdperson action games, it’s a better than average throw. [Nov 2006, p.92]

    With insanely repetitive, mindless action and completely unengaging character progression, Bounty Hounds withers and dies within its first hour.

    A beat-em-up with customization in space. A weird storyline, but nice graphics and a camera that's easy to control. A bit like Dungeon A beat-em-up with customization in space. A weird storyline, but nice graphics and a camera that's easy to control. A bit like Dungeon Siege without as much complexity. It's only about ten hours long, though, and games like this ought to hold out for much, much longer.… Expand
