When I got this game as a gift, I popped into the Game Boy Color's slot this transparent game pak, and "wow!" The first thing I saw (except for the manufacturer's logos) was amazing widescreen snapshots from Star Wars Episode I as the introducing little cutscene. It looked like something out of a Super Nintendo! This game has beautiful, focused color and some of Obi-wan's special features such as his ol' reliable blue lightsaber, his laser pistol, and especially the Force. Battle droids, destroyer droids, and even the evil Darth Maul will try to "play" with you, but with your skills you can stop them and the whole Trade Federation. If you're up to it, young Jedi Apprentice, then obtain this action-packed game! Good luck, and may the force be with you.

This game was the second game I bought for my Game Boy Color. It is great!

The graphics are very good, especially for the Game Boy Color platform, and it even includes wide-screen shots from the movie in the introduction.

The reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that you can't save your progress, and because of the low number of levels. The only way that you can save your place is when you beat a level, and even then, you have to write down a code and enter it next time to get to the same spot, which is tedious. Also, there are only 10 levels, so it goes by pretty fast.

Other than those things, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and think that you will too!

It's a great game actually if you donot mind the isometric view and the small Obi-Wan. The game has good gameplay and nicely balances between the gameplay elements. The ability to use the force is great as you can move things and push back the droids. Other weapons inlcude a blaster and the jedi essential-the light sabre. Though the force and the blaster is great, they are limited in points so most of the times you will be using the light sabre and it's pretty cool to be able to deflect back the laser beams. It would have been cool if you could use other force powers like ability to jump higher for example. The enemies are all droids and this tends to create a feeling of been there done that kind of thing. Only the diverse scenes and the backgrounds make up for that to some extent. Gameplay hours is sjort as the game is quite easy to get used to and most will be able to finish it in under 4 hours. If you would like a portable force, or if you a star wars fan thenthis game will be great to add to your collection. If you are a new gamer this game shouldn't be much of a challenge to you. I recommend you buy it...

This was a pretty straight-forward simple game. Not that it was too short or anything. It was challenging in areas yet with simple and easy controls. The graphics were very impressing for a Game Boy game. It almost looks somewhat 3-dimensional. The widescreen screenshots between levels are a nice add-on too. This is a fun game and I recommend it.

This game is really good now don't get me wrong but, while in some places you have to hit everything with the lightsaber to find a passageway, you have to read alllllll of the instructions to play, and the codes are to long.

This is the #3 GBC game to get. Next to Super Mario Bros Deluxe and Matt Hoffman's pro bmx.

This game was okay. It had a good mix of action and adventure. Lucas arts is the best!!

THQ did agreat job with this one!! anyway,Navigate the swamps of Naboo!9 ACTION PACKED LEVELS!!!BUYIT!!!BUYIT!!!BUYIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this game anticipating a true Star Wars adventure. But I guess it was sort of like the movie, boring. Sure, the fun part is getting to use the lightsaber and the force, but it get's a little boring fighting droids all the time. The levels aren't that difficult either. I made it through five in less than an hour, and there are only nine levels total! When I got to fight the Sith, in the final level, I was surprised at how easy it was, given you can go recharge yourself if you run out of energy points. Overall, I was looking for more of a challenging game and it proved to be a little boring. Graphics are pretty cool and so is sword play and sound effects. But there needed to be more levels and it would have been nice to fight people instead of machines. Waiting for a better game from Lucas arts--and a better movie!
