Video Game Reviews of Bounty Hounds
Customer Review: Great gameplay, great graphics, some issues
Summary: 4 Stars
The game play in this game is very nice. I've found myself playing nothing other than this game for hours - the storyline is pretty nice and there is definitely a lot of action. The universe is filled with hundreds of items, and there are near-endless combinations for your wearables, and therefore what you look like.
The controls are quite well thought out, and make the game very easy to play, and yet very interesting. The main killer with this game, however, is the graphics. The graphics are stunning.
As said in previous reviews, the sound is okay - it's not perfect, but it's not bad either. It's the standard RPG-style sound scheme - background music and sounds of guns and swords.
The only gripe I have with this game is the camera angle. It gets VERY annoying at times, especially when you move between rooms. It takes some getting used to and can be a complete pain at times. If they had put together a static camera angle, the game would easily get 5-stars from me.
All in all, this game is a great pick for the RPG fan who wants to game it up on the PSP.
Description of Bounty Hounds
Leader of a group of bounty hunters, Maximillian must fight against aliens to foil their plans to take over the world. Use over 500 weapons and armor to run missions engaging in battle with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) of 40 different alien species. Advanced enemy AI will adapt to player health and weapon type. Dungeons are randomly generated each time so game play is a different experience every time. Wireless gaming allows players to access rare items to share that are hard to get alone. Chief gameplay features its massive set of armaments all of which can be customized for combat as you get new gear and attack powers. Weaponry allows a different style of combat including both melee weapons and ranged combat accessories to fire holes into enemies from afar before they have a chance to fight back right away. The combat system has you always armed with 2 weapons, a right and left arm attacked assigned from many of the weapons in the game. Each weapon has an independent button for instant attack use and various button combinations for secondary fire or special combat moves. Also for combat is a barrier and shield spell set. The shield puts a small bubble around you and is used to charge through heavy fire. The force field makes a much bigger bubble around nearby enemies, keeping away outside attackers. For more firepower, dual wield both melee and ranged weapons in both hands or switch weapons on the fly to take on changing advanced enemy AI according to your health and weaponry, promosing every battle to be as intense as the first. Bounty Hounds also allows downloading 2 modes Trial and Vs. utilizing the wireless connectivity of the PSP system. The Trial Mode provides players with a single-player mission, while the Vs. Mode offers head-to-head battles and trade collected arms.Action Games
