Playing as Jango Fett represents a pretty unique opportunity for players in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. With the vast majority of Star Wars games putting us in control of Jedi, Sith or just generic soldiers, playing as a mercenary was something of a surprise.

It was, of course, a pleasant surprise, and the game was a great addition to Star Wars' game library. The story was exciting throughout, not least thanks to some great alternative characters driving the narrative. At the head of this was antagonist Montross; a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter who competed with Jango Fett to become the model in which the Clone army would eventually be based.

Montross is exactly the kind of snarling, arrogant antagonist that the game needed to make Fett feel like something of a hero. Facing off against him was constantly enjoyable, and when the stakes are raised by his despicable actions he completes his ascension to becoming an object of pure hate.
