* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Most of the Bando Gora cultists are little more than [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal mindless melee murder machines]].

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: If you take the time to equip your visor cam and ID-scan Vosa during the final boss battle with her, it will actually bring up a fully accurate description of the bounty that kicks off the game's main plot. The player has no real ''reason'' to do this, since it's impossible to claim Vosa as a bounty (and the final boss battle is a fast-paced one-on-one fight where taking a minute to scan your enemy can be fatal), but it shows that the developers thought to realistically factor the game's story into the ID-scanning mechanic.

* MythologyGag: Right before sending [[spoiler: Senator Trell]] to a DisneyVillainDeath, Jango says the same sentence his son Boba says in TheEmpireStrikesBack: "As you wish." (the police were commanding Jango to release his hostage). Also, the second level on Tatooine brings you close to the Sarlaac's pit and the whole level resembles the same scenario from ReturnOfTheJedi.
** Apparently, [[ThePhantomMenace Watto]] is an old acquaintance of Roz.

** KillItWithFire: A flamethrower on his right wrist. Perfect for humanoid enemies with melee attacks, like the Bando Gora cultists.

* StrongFleshWeakSteel: Your first bosses are usually vehicles of some kind. Then the boss of the fifth chapter is a gargantuan Krayt Dragon and the later bosses in the sixth are all human.

* {{Prequel}}: To ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and to the franchise's "Clone Wars" arc in general. It explains how the Sith found Jango Fett and contracted him into serving as the template for the Clone Army, and (though this plot point is only implied), explains where [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Asajj Ventress]] got her distinctive lightsabers. [[note]] They originally belonged to Komari Vosa; Dooku kept them as a memento of her after he had Vosa killed, and passed them on to his next apprentice.[[/note]]

* VideogameCrueltyPotential: You can set bystanders ablaze with the flamethrower.

** The level description for Oovo IV mentions the inmates are allowed no entertainment outside of the occasional podrace. Oovo IV by chance happened to be the home of several courses in ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsEpisodeIRacer''.

''Star Wars: Bounty Hunter'' is a StarWars videogame which take place before the events of AttackOfTheClones and tells the story of [[BountyHunter Jango]] [[BadassNormal 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 [[FantasticDrug death sticks]], which turn users into [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mindless devotees]]. The leader of the cult, the fallen Jedi [[AxCrazy Komari Vosa]] has become a threat even to [[BigBad Darth Sidious]]'s plans, so he orders his disciple [[TheDragon 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 rival [[TheRival Montross]] start their hunt across the galaxy.

* AnticlimaxBoss: Many of the criminals you have to search for will eventually be pitifully weak (provided they don't end up dying during a ''cutscene'').

* BloodKnight: Montross. He never caught someone alive in all his career as bounty hunter, and his general philosophy seems to be "take everything, then burn the rest".
* BountyHunter: Well, hello...

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler: Zam Wesell sells Jango out to Gardulla the Hutt, but eventually pulls a BigDamnHeroes and rescues him from Vosa]].

* HilariousOuttakes: One of the special features, including scenes such as a Bando Gora captain hiding in the background of some cut-scenes and waving at the audiece, Montross stopping a scene to complain about his hair gel and Jango expressing his frustration at having to react to a ping-pong ball on the end of a stick (an infamous criticism of the Star Wars prequel movies).

* JetPack: Wouldn't be a Jango Fett game without it.

* MythologyGag: Right before sending [[spoiler: Senator Trell]] to a DisneyVillainDeath, Jango says the same sentence his son Boba says in TheEmpireStrikesBack: "As you wish" (the police were commanding Jango to release his hostage). Also the second level on Tatooine brings you close to the Sarlaac's pit and the whole level resembles the same scenario from ReturnOfTheJedi.

* WalkingArmory: Jango. He can collect weapons from his enemies, but has also:

** SniperRifle: For MassiveDamage.

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mentor]]: A reason for fighting Montross.

* ItGotWorse: Jango's original plan for breaking into the prison on Oovo IV was to sneak in, take the prisoner and leave. However, because of Zam causing a riot, he was forced to change his plans, ending up destroying a good part of the prison, and killing many of the guards and inmates along the way.

''Star Wars: Bounty Hunter'' is a StarWars videogame which take place before the events of AttackOfTheClones and tells the story of [[BountyHunter 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 [[FantasticDrug death sticks]], which turn users into [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mindless devotees]]. The leader of the cult, the fallen Jedi [[AxCrazy Komari Vosa]] has become a threat even to [[BigBad Darth Sidious]]'s plans, so he orders his disciple [[TheDragon 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 [[TheRival rival Montross]] start their hunt across the galaxy.

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.

** Also Gardulla's pet Krayt Dragon by itself. The only real challenge in this battle are the guards shooting you with rocket launchers and forcing you to move around.

** However, Jango probably ends the game as a Type IV, with [[spoiler: Roz's dying wish for him to find something to live for besides money inspiring him to include Boba's creation as a condition of becoming a clone template.]]
** On a slightly more optimistic note, Zam Wesell probably qulifies as a Type IV. Her motives are more or less the same as Jango's and she does betray him, but gets to make up for it by saving him from Vosa. Roz is more of a Type III, running a low life criminal hideout and scamming credits off of Jango. However, she genuinely cares for him and helps him throughout the story despite being well aware of the risks.

* AxCrazy: Komari Vosa
* BadassNormal: Jango, of course, and Montross as well.
* BlackAndGreyMorality: 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.
** FridgeLogic: 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.

* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: Senator Trell]].

* FoeYay: Between Komari Vosa and Jango Fett.

* GunsAkimbo: Jango's main weapon. Also, the Tatooine criminal Longo Two-Guns.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Temuera Morrison and Leeanna Walsman reprise their roles of Jango Fett and Zam Wesell from Episode II respectively.
** [[ClancyBrown Montross]] is [[SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Lex Luthor]]
** CoreyBurton once again stands in for ChristopherLee as Count Dooku.

* HypocriticalHumor: When talking with Jabba, Jango states that "Discretion is his specialty". Note that this is just after he has killed a crooked Senator by dropping him from a window, all but destroyed the prison on Oovo IV, blown up several armored vehicles and blasted his way through countless armed thugs.
* ItGotWorse: Jango's original plan for breaking into the prison on Oovo IV was to sneak in, take the prisoner and leave. However, because of Zam causing a riot, he was forced to change his plans, ending up destroying a good part of the prison and killing many of the guards and inmates along the way.

* MalevolentMaskedMan: The High Priests of the Bando Gora wear a skull mask with horns.
* MoralityPet: Roz, who's a sort of substitute mother for Jango.

-->'''Bounty''': ''Montross! I'll pay you double... triple! Please, I'm worth more alive!''
-->'''Montross''': ''You're worth enough dead.''

** PoisonedWeapons: The Kaminoan saberdarts, perfect for insta-killing those wild nexu in the Malastare jungle.

* VillainProtagonist: 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.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The various missile-type weapons. If you're not careful when using the inside, you can easily blow yourself up.

* IGotBetter: Gardulla somehow survived being eaten by a Krayt Dragon.
** ExternalRetcon: The dragon threw her back up, finding her to be indigestible. Hutt hides are notoriously tough.
