Critic Reviews for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is not an essential remaster, but it is a work that manages to improve enough an action-packed classic adventure. The new controls and small improvements deliver, although on a visual level and in playable corrections a little more effort could have been put in.

Overall, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter missed an opportunity to add much-needed polish, but if you want to revisit a childhood classic, you’ll be happy with this faithful remaster.
Over two decades after its original release, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter still brings a decent amount of fun from the galaxy far, far away. The updated control scheme and visuals undoubtedly make this the best way to experience Jango Fett's backstory. But Aspyr's sparing upgrades can't hide a noticeably dated game underneath. With repetitive combat, occasionally confusing level design, and a regularly iffy script, this is a prime example of how far gaming has come in the past 20 years. It's a product of a simpler time, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter Remastered features a notable visual upgrade and refined controls compared to its original release. Fans of Star Wars Legends stories will find the plot, set before some of the prequel films, quite engaging. However, a few technical issues that persisted from the original release remain unaddressed, which can be frustrating at times. Despite this, they don’t detract significantly from the overall experience if you can work around them. Overall, Star Wars Bounty Hunter remains enjoyable to play and revisit, offering some bonus content for fans.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was always a cult favourite but Aspyr's native port of the classic adventure comes adorned with modernised controls and polished visuals making it a must-play for fans of the original and a fun bit of history for newcomers.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a solid throwback to the glory days of 2000s action games.
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.
Bounty Hunter rescues the spirit of Star Wars by putting us in the shoes of one of the most famous bounty hunters in the saga. Despite having problems from the original 2002 release, the game is still fun, with moments of action governed by the magnificent soundtrack of the films along with an interesting story. The remaster gets it right not only in the visual aspects but also in the quality of life improvements, in addition to making the game accessible to several generations. A full plate for those who want to get away from the Jedi vs Sith cliché or just enjoy a good game of the saga.
