I might be interested in SW Bounty Hunter if that's not from Prime,
checking now.

Me too but I think Ant got it. This recent PC release has good reviews
on Steam for whatever that's worth. Some people on GoG have complained
about the controls. Pretty cheap in any case, may have to buy it.

Alas, I cannot make any promises of a key for SW:BH appearing here.
But honestly, you aren't _really_ missing out. It's at best an average
game. It's very definitely limited by the hardware it was originally
designed for (PS2/gamepad) and the port does little to alleviate these
limitations. The game is quite simplistic and the story and setting
leave a lot to be desired. It's really not that much fun to play.
Aiming is more of a chore than it should be, the flying/platforming is
a bit cumbersome and the levels are a bit too drab and mazelike.

The only really notable bit about the game is that there are unmarked
bounties scattered across the levels, and you get points for claiming
them. But you have to 'scan' them before you shoot, and that's just
another unnecessary bit of work that makes the whole thing more effort
than reward.

I mean, I had to buy the game and play it, but that's because I'm
stupid when it comes to Star Wars stuff (I mean, I own "Star Wars:
Droidworks" and "Yoda's Challenge", so I'm obviously not very
circumspect when it comes to what Star Wars video games to add to my
library;-). Wiser people tend to avoid the worst of the Star Wars
branded nonsense ;-)
