'''''Star Wars: Bounty Hunter''''' is a [[Star Wars]] videogame which take place before the events of [[Attack of the Clones]] and tells the story of [[Bounty Hunter|Jango]] [[Badass|Fett]], and how he was chosen as the template for the clone army.
A mysterious cult, the Bando Gora, is wreaking havoc in the galaxy. Its members are distributing a dangerous variation of [[Fantastic Drug|death sticks]], which turn users into [[Brainwashed and Crazy|mindless devotees]]. The leader of the cult, the fallen Jedi [[Ax Crazy|Komari Vosa]] has become a threat even to [[Big Bad|Darth Sidious]]'s plans, so he orders his disciple [[The Dragon|Darth Tyranus]] to take care of her. So he decide to hire several bounty hunters, offering a large reward for the head of Vosa. Soon, Jango Fett and his [[The Rival|rival Montross]] start their hunt across the galaxy.
Line 8:
Armed with a large arsenal of weapons, Jango must fight his way in several, difficult levels divided in six chapters. Along the way he can also capture other bounties and find the Mandalorian Golden Feathers to unlock the bonus content.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Zam Wesell, met halfway through the game.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Averted, Sebolto and the Hutts speaks their native, subtitled language.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Jango, of course, and Montross as well.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Highly unusual for ''Star Wars'', but when the most morally upstanding character is a money-grubbing, swindling, vain Toydarian then you know this trope is in effect. Jango is involved purely for personal gain, murders dozens of law enforcement officers during his hunt, and (depending on the player's own aim) may even end up killing a civilian or two.
** Not to mention civilian bounties like an Ugnaught maintanence worker who plans to sell corporate secrets and is wanted for more dead. Hardly a morally upstanding guy, but not nearly as bad as Jango.
** [[Fridge Logic]]: Those same law enforcement officers will instantly fill you with blaster fire just for passing near them. WTF?
*** Well, considering that you're a heavily-armored, gun-toting man trying to break into a Senatorial apartment tower and a maximum-security prison, the shoot-on-sight orders are probably justified.
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The whole game from Oovo IV forward becomes this.
* [[No-Gear Level]]: In the third level of the fifth chapter, Gardulla strips you of your gear and forces you to fight her Krayt Dragon in the Arena. You have to escape and retrieve your weapons.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Most of the Bando Gora cultists are little more than [[
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Montross, a Mandalorian deserter turned bounty hunter.
{{quote|'''Bounty''': ''Montross! I'll pay you double... triple! Please, I'm worth more alive!''
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
** [[Sniper Rifle]]: For [[Massive Damage]].
** [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Starting with thermal detonators and ending with special missiles.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Jango is a Type V Anti-Hero throughout most of the game, but on Oovo IV and the final level of Coruscant he leans towards this, as he's pitted against enemies who are decent, law abiding people, like civilians and security staff. This would be bad enough but his actions go beyond cynical pragmatist as he murders an unarmed, albeit corrupt, Senator for no apparent reason other than sadism, and hands Bendix Fust over to Sebolto despite knowing full well that he'll probably torture Fust to death. Combined with his purely selfish motives, this probably pushes him too far to be even an extreme Anti-Hero, especially given that the destruction of Oovo IV likely puts his body count pretty close to Vosa and Montross.
** To be fair, most (if not all) of the cops guarding Senator Trell's tower are implied (a few are even directly stated) to be corrupt, as is the ''entire'' corrections staff on Oovo IV. As for the civilians, most of the time you won't be ''intentionally'' killing them unless they've got a price on their head; the rest of the time they just happen to be dumb enough to run into the crossfire of a blaster fight. Also, Jango does get (slightly) better by the end of the game.
* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mentor]]: A reason for fighting Montross.
