    The game seems to rush the story along too fast. That makes me think that this game might have been rushed out to meet the DVD release deadline. But it is a Star Wars game, and it is actually a good one.

    Other than a few cool moments here and there, there isn’t a lot going on that can’t be gotten elsewhere. There are many other excellent side-scrolling games out there that offer a lot more play time, but those games don’t have the Star Wars name.

    It is definitely not the longest, or the greatest, Game Boy Advance title available. The production values here are well put together, but considering the extremely small length, we can only recommend it to rabid Star Wars fans.
  4. Worth Playing

    The sheer amount of repetition in this title makes it seem longer than it already is and considering that it spans three movies worth of content that is quite a feat.

    Control is solid, but some puzzles are nonintuitive. [Nov 2004, p.133]

    Not a terrible game, and it does have redeeming features, but the game design is rather lacking in ingenuity and variety. Most players will find this game to be too repetitive and too easy.

    Too bad the side-scrolling gameplay is so generic. You're best off staying far, far away from this galaxy. [Dec 2004, p.170]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pretty fun game. The animations are liquid smooth and the game is impressive. It feels like a spiritual successor to the Star Wars Trilogy games on SNES and Gameboy, and if you were a fan of those games, you will enjoy this one. However, it's battles get repetitive by episode V, and even the lightsaber combat gets a little old after a while. Not a bad game, just not incredible by any means.… Expand

    Fun, but damn this game gets so repetitive its not even funny. Same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER Fun, but damn this game gets so repetitive its not even funny. Same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER again. The trilogy really isnt the same with out playable characters like Han, Chewie or Leia. When will lucasarts get the clue and remake the Super Star Wars series for the GBA. IT WILL SELL! Stop with these mediocre Star Wars games and really make something fans want.… Expand
