    While the game is pretty fun, it can become very frustrating. At times, it seems your character doesn’t want to swing his light saber in a certain direction, or misses a jump you know that you hit, or just hits something in the 3D level that didn’t look like a mine.

    It's a somewhat enjoyable romp, though...it's just not a very "clean" Star Wars title.

    While it has a few frustrating problems, Attack of the Clones is just about as good as a Star Wars game can get on the GBA.

    One of the most maddening problems is that each time you die (which happens a lot), you respawn at the beginning of the level. There is no continue option, and you can’t skip the-story-so-far screens.

    It's one of the worst games I've ever played. [July 2002, p.128]

    Overall, we'd prefer death to torture, and perhaps both to an extended session playing this game. [Winter 2002, p.47]

    The graphics have a certain flair to them, the likes of which you'd see oozing out of a defective bar toilet. [July 2002, p.92]

    No idea WTF people are smoking. The controls are different but they work well, and I never had a problem with the hitboxes once. You just haveNo idea WTF people are smoking. The controls are different but they work well, and I never had a problem with the hitboxes once. You just have to think of it like a fighting game where your character exists in 3D space. It makes complete sense and works like it should, evidently people are just too coddled or dumb to figure out a very easy-to-control game where you have to think before you swing. The graphics and animations are extremely impressive for the GBA with no slowdown whatsoever even in the pseudo-3D sections with a lot going on. If it's too difficult, which, it really isn't, just drop it to Padawan and breeze through. Good length for the fidelity they were able to pull off. Only real flaws are the lack of checkpoints in levels that can be pretty long, two or three of the enemies come at you so quick that it results in cheap hits, constantly requiring force jumping slows down the pace, and the level design that is complex without any reason to be on Coruscant and Kamino is real time-waster. Overall, it's a solid game with some glaring flaws but calling this just as bad as Flight of the Falcon should be a crime. It's easily the third best Star Wars GBA game after Trilogy and Ep. 3. Mad 'cause bad is sad.… Expand

    If critics did a list of the top 10 worst games of all time, possibly this one will be in it and it will be number one. I never played suchIf critics did a list of the top 10 worst games of all time, possibly this one will be in it and it will be number one. I never played such a piece of trash like this, the controls, no save support, the most abominable and ugliest graphics to date, i mean, who will give this game a perfect score or a positive score to this thing ( yes, thing because it is not even a game ). This game will be remembered not because it's a GBA game, it's because its pure garbage.… Expand
