Product Description
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter sends you into a futuristic mystery where you must explore and fight to clear your name!
Amazon.com Product Description
This story-driven action game seamlessly combines dynamic space- and ground-based combat with exploration and investigation. Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter takes place hundreds of years in the future, when both human and alien settlers are rapidly colonizing the galaxy. You assume the role of Mace Griffin, a special-ops officer turned bounty hunter, as he unravels a dangerous mystery. The game offers a seamless transition between first-person combat and space-flight actions, and an epic story with the pacing and drama of a blockbuster movie. Consistent flight-control and weapon-management systems make it easy to navigate both in space and on the ground in six different ships, from alien fighters to massive carriers. The game includes lifelike nonplayer characters, whose reactions depend on their varying intelligence, bravery, health, and weapons. The "rag doll" IK system creates realistic results when a character is shot or hit. The game's diverse missions, which may be story driven or incidental, take place in a wide array of walk-around environments, each with its own physics, obstacles, inhabitants, and creatures.

 Worst game I've ever played November 2, 2007

Let me tell you about my experience with this game:
First level: Dark. You have to crawl through a lot of ventilation ducts, but you can't see the entrance to them even though you're standing right in front of them because it's so dark. Other than that, the graphics have a very PS1 look to them, and the weapons were rather dull. The weapon selection menu sucks, you have to cycle through all your weapons to get to the one you want. Try doing that in the middle of combat with guys shooting at you.
Second level: Space combat sucks! Your enemies fly around you like a swarm of bugs. They're so much more maneuverable than you that you're lucky just to see one on your TV screen, much less get a weapon aimed at them. The rest of the level is combat onboard a spaceship, it gets repetitive and boring. You have to go an unbelievably long period of time between save points. When you pass a checkpoint, the game may save automatically, or it may not. You'll get a nice surprise next time you turn the game on! You are given the option to quit and save, but not to save and continue playing. Even if you do manually save it, it might not save anyway.
Third level: Frustrating. The spiders really suck, they jump around and you can waste hundreds of rounds of ammo killing them. They can kill you in a couple of seconds if you're not careful (and lucky). Other enemies need to be shot 50 times to kill them - they can even survive a point-blank shot with your rocket launcher. So I get to this one really long and rather difficult portion of the game, and after playing through it about 10 times, I finally get to the next part. No save point. I get killed by a spider that drops down behind me. I swear at the TV. I do it again, make it past the spiders, and what do I get? I've go to jump from one place to another. Miss the jump. Run across the room, up a ramp, jump on the box and try again. After 50 attempts I finally make it across. Now I've got to make another jump, and another - they've got to be done in rapid succession or you'll get knocked off and have to start again. So, I'm supposed to sit here, running around in circles, attempting this jump about 2,500 times?!? Are you freakin' kidding me? This is a first person shooter, not a platformer. Gimme a break.
About the only good thing I have to say about this game is that I bought it used for next to nothing.
 A big dissapointment! August 1, 2006

When I picked up my copy of this game [only for 9.99 at fye.com] I thought it might have some potential. I was wrong! Okay, lets start with the controls. Can be hard to learn! To bad you can't change them! Second, the graphics. You basicly get the same graphics from Turok: evolution! So, what I am saying is...they're bad! Horrible frame-rate! At one point in the game, the frame-rate completely froze up, forcing me to restart the WHOLE thing from scratch. Next, crappy save system. First off, checkpoints are WAY to far spread. In one level, there is only one checkpoint, and that was like halfway through the level! And the only way you can save your game without losing the data you have now is to save after you cross a checkpoint. Bad!! No multiplayer what so ever! The only good thing about this game is that the flying missions are kinda cool and that it is really gory! Cool weapons as well! Only rent!
 Could have used an Uzi May 14, 2004
The game Mace Griffin is a game that is one you should buy if you like Red Faction I or II. The graphics in the game but the part that amazed me was how smoothly you could go from a ground game to a space flying game. the story line was great so was the opening of the game but the only major problem i had with it was the ememies and their how strong they were. For instance if you shoot someone four times with a shotgun (even if they have a sheid) and the get back up and then kill you there is a problem. Also the weapons could have had a larger choice of automatic weapons like a double pistol or uzi something simmlar to that. But everything else in the game is superb. The enemy intelligance is the one part of the game that I like the most. They retreat when they can not win and they wait for reinforcements. But above all a good game for everyone that wants a great sci-fi bounty hunter game that has nothing to do with star wars. The last thing that I have to say is that this game is a hard game because it has no level setting so the first level may be hard but if you are looking for an easy game this is not it. But if you are determined and have some skill in shooting this game is for you.
Not worth the wait. March 16, 2004

Mace Griffin will probably be remembered as one of the greater disappointments for the PS2. This was one of those titles that sounded promising in the development stages but never panned out even though its release was delayed for about a year.Where do I begin? First, like others have warned...this game is HARD! There is no difficulty selection so you have no choice but to try and tough it out. The save system is AWFUL! It's one of those games that only allows you to save at certain points. That would be totally fine if those chosen points were logical. They're not. It's frustrating when you have 100 percent health and have been playing for half an hour...only to have some guy hit you in the head with a rocket and kill you. Oops...guess you have to replay the last half hour again. Sometimes, though, they let you walk through an area for only a few minutes with hardly any enemies and then the game gets to a save point again. Dumb. The transition between ground fighting and air combat was highly touted. It is a seamless transition but they left out that one important factor. It's called FUN! The flying parts of the game are even worse than in Air Force Delta Strike. What about the ground fighting? Well, I can't say it's bad because it's not. The thing is...this had already been done plenty of times before and it's been done much better. You get your usual array of unoriginal weapons. You get to shoot at tons of people and aliens. You get to wander aimlessly through corridor after corridor. Yawn. The graphics are average at best (this ain't no Splinter Cell) and there is unbelievably no multiplayer feature! Too many exceptional games have come out over the past few years and our standards are a lot higher these days. Unless you enjoy walking around shooting enemies with your machine gun level after level after level, then I sure wouldn't recommend you wasting any money at all on Mace Griffin.

This game is pretty good. But it's hard. Very,very hard. It takes perhaps an hour and a half to beat the first level. I will not tell you how many times i died because of jumping wrong and falling onto a radiator or something. You have to keep moving and do not waste your shots. Be on alert and always crouch. Pay attention to the slightest detail. Thins that seem like random explosions can clear the way for a vent or a ramp. Always have target lock on.Extremely hard.
