The universe of "Star Wars" is broad and multinational, and almost any character epic saga can make a separate game. Strictly speaking, this LucasArts and engaged for many years. But despite the diversity of its projects, most (not all, of course) of them has a common feature: the fight falls on the side of the forces of good. Goodie is primitive in nature, his motives are banal and predictable, and arms is often a laser sword. That is why the announcement of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter immediately called a special interest. What a fan of "Star Wars" will refuse to play for the most dangerous mercenary in the galaxy and learn details of his biography?
There once was a killer ...
Saw "The second episode of" know that Jango Fett (Jango Fett) - father of Boba Fett (Boba Fett) - gave their DNA to create an army of obedient clones. But before becoming a donor, he has repeatedly proved their capabilities, having made a lot of assassinations. It all started here's how. Lord Darth Sidious (Darth Sidious), the statute tolerate antics gang Bando Gora (Bando Gora), ordered to destroy the saboteurs. And what do you think Darth Tirannus (Darth Tyrannus) immediately hired by Jango Fett? Flutes! The galaxy is large, it is full of high-killers, ready to tear off his arms like a contract. Vicious competitors such as Montross (Montross) and Deputy Uezell (Zam Wesell), - is another obstacle to the goal.
Caliber is important!
So, we - insurgent, who might be called an arcade, if it were not embedded in the game process assignments. Scenario requiring lower leverage and cutting wall blowtorch, in the end only sends your aggression in the right direction. Shiny armor and two blaster in each hand (the standard weapon) make similar Jango's a cross between a cowboy with a crusader. Of course, such a colorful figure is hard to miss in a crowd, which is why the guards, bandits and other monsters do not give you a pass. Help them fend off 12 weapons, not counting fists: whip, rockets, grenades, sniper rifle, flame thrower, etc. etc. Oh, and do not forget the jetpack! Fly on it, just as the hero of the movie, you can not (fuel is limited), but to overcome the short distances dzhetpak quite amiss.
The only thing that gives the status of mercenaries - is able to collect pre-ordered the head of the victims. They can be as enemies and civilians. Jango Fett spits on the honor code with a high bell tower, but he is forced to honor the rule prohibiting killing other people, unless they attacked first. Do this and your ranking mercenary noticeably scanty. To identify the target, you need to switch to first person, and then the computer is built into the helmet, verify the person with the card index.Next you need to mention the subject (beside him there is an icon, if you do not, any reward you get), and we can go into liquidation. Some, however, have to take them alive. For this sacrifice to tie the whip, after which it can be treated as an ordinary corpse, that is enough to come up and get a coveted fee. Dirty trick that required subjects usually roam the crowded places, where the total of any rabble. A stand is surrounded by enemies and silently look around, trying to find purpose - not the best strategy for survival. Luckily for you, the opponents also like to withstand the dramatic pause before jumping into the attack. During this time you include avtopritselivanie, easy to shoot.
By itself, the gameplay monotonous as a mercenary to do the work does not necessarily. Credits received for the assembled heads, open bonus wallpapers and pictures. But whether they will - that is the question. The game has 18 levels, and the passage of each is given five attempts. Dying, you go back to the last checkpoint'u, but if you spent all of life will begin anew.
Dancing with the rake for the new accompaniment
The desire to create a standalone camera that would automatically selects the proper perspective - it is a virus entrenched in the minds of many programmers. In SW: BH-term can be adjusted manually, but sooner or later the chamber will be rested at some corner or want to look in another direction.
I bet that's not just me long ago tired of the so-called "lens effect", which is now shoved almost in every three-dimensional game. Image as it "spreads" on the convex surface, creating a sense of perspective and distracting attention from the shortcomings of the interior. No, the schedule can not be called bad, it is consistent with the spirit of "Star Wars", but have something to complain about. Central detail of 3D-models can be attributed to the vastness of scenery, but the blurry textures do not deserve justification. Bright and colorful explosions of laser flash - this is certainly good, but a clear light on the armor of Jango, whether they are there, would look no less exciting. The increased concentration of enemies in one area of the screen causes mild retardation, in principle, it is not surprising, since the typical.
Musical accompaniment - a tune by Jeremy Soule (Jeremy Soule), written specifically for the game, and excerpts from the soundtrack of the movie. Characters voiced by actors, "the second episode and the guest stars, and sound effects involved in the renowned studio Skywalker Sound.
Moment of Truth
Graphical surroundings, music and CG-rollers from Industrial Light and Magic (the best specialists in computer special effects in Hollywood) will undoubtedly contribute to dive into a fantasy world. But, if we ignore the symbolism, it becomes clear that Star Wars: Bounty Hunter - the most common fighter and not intended to be original. Moreover, he had serious drawbacks such as lengthy downloads, bad camera and monotonous level design. But here is an interesting subject, knowledge of which is necessary for a holistic vision of "Star Wars". If you add everything together, you get a decent game that can brighten up a few evenings. In addition, it will help you learn an important lesson: there is no mystical force not to be compared with the correct pistol and a pair of grenades.
