  • Summary: Hundreds of years into the future, Terraforming has made it possible for humans to colonize other planets - and thus for humanity to encounter Extraterrestrial Intelligence. War ensued over the acquisition and conquest of planets, which lead to employment of mercenaries who would scout planets deemed fit for habitation. The band of these ruthless mercenaries was called Bounty Hounds. As Maximillian, the leader of Bounty Hounds, your mission is to battle different alien species spread across planets. With a variety of new weapons and items as well as Wi-Fi play to match up against a friend, Bounty Hounds delivers an exciting weapon-based action adventure for PSP gamers. Battle Your Way with Double Weapons: Wield two separate weapons - one in your right, another in your left. Two categories of weapons allow you to use melee weapons for close combat and ballistic weapons for long range combat. Go Head-to-Head with a friend: Wirelessly connect with a friend with only one copy of the game. [Namco]… Expand

    There's nothing quite like throwing up your own thunderdome(minus the Tina Turner)and shredding enemies once they've stepped into your invisible arena. [Nov. 2006, p.121]

    It's not the most original game, but fans of the genre will certainly get their money's worth. [Dec. 2006, p.84]

    A classic example of shoddy execution derailing a slew of great ideas. With a better camera and improved controls, it could have been a real contender. Still, as frustrating as the game can get, it’s enjoyable in short bursts and presents a wealth of good ideas.

    All in all whilst looking great on the surface, scratching a little deeper reveals some flaws, with Bounty Hounds feeling more like a tech demo that has been turned into a game rather than a game in its own right.

    A beat-em-up with customization in space. A weird storyline, but nice graphics and a camera that's easy to control. A bit like Dungeon Siege without as much complexity. It's only about ten hours long, though, and games like this ought to hold out for much, much longer.… Expand
