For you PSP gamers out there, Namco Bandai Games unleashed a product with a great sense of style. This new sensation is entitled Bounty Hounds, and is filled with some super stylized and pulsating features.
Bounty Hounds is focused on simple hack and slash action. Unfortunately, the game’s simplicity is not really an advantage, as it gets monotonous and unexciting after a while. The best description of the game would be something along the lines of Dynasty Warriors 6, but set in Space with a shorter storyline and less gameplay. The player assumes the role of Maximillian who leads a group of mercenaries known as Bounty Hounds. Since the game is set in the future, you will see humanity at odds with aliens and all sorts of factions as each attempt to colonize the universe. The title clarifies your job profile, where you are expected to kill aliens, explore hostile planets, rescue human survivors and help human progress flourish. Of course, you are not doing this out of altruism, and as a mercenary you will naturally get paid for your duties.
What makes the gameplay more interesting, is the fact that you’ll encounter continually encounter numerous foes and aliens, that keep you involved in the game. The bosses in the title also provide a nice surprise and held test your endurance. The modicum of depth found in the game originates from the character customization system. Maximillan is compatible with up to four weapons, but can only wield two at a time. For example, you can equip a bazooka in your left hand and an axe in your right, a sword in your left and a hammer in your right, or maybe a fancy shotgun in your right hand and a laser rifle in your left. With over 500 items, there are plenty of creative possibilities.
The graphics and sound are all up to par, and quite good. Ultimately this is a nice title for any futuristic action fans, who would like to hold a hammer in one hand, and a bazooka in the other, while battling vicious aliens.
