    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.

    All in all, without the license, Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force would be an average side-scroller for the GBA. Thankfully, the Star Wars license does add to the game, particularly its presentation, and makes for a better game as a result.

    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.

    Thanks to a borrowed "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" engine, Luke's moves are fluid and smooth. Whether he's hoisting himself up on crate or wielding a lightsaber his actions are lifelike and accurate.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link 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.… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »
