Amazon.com Product Description

In Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles, players can compete in single- or two-player mode as they fight off legions of battle droids, destroyer droids, assassins, and other creatures from the Star Wars: Episode I worlds. The game is scrupulously true to the Star Wars universe, with authentic characters, locations, and weapons. Gamers fight as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, or Mace Windu--all powerful Jedi Knights. Players will fight through 10 levels of progressively more challenging gameplay, gaining power boosts, new moves, and enhanced capabilities as they progress.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best (and only) Star Wars game for the GBA, January 1, 2002

I am also a fan of the Playstation version of this game, and was pumped when they announced that it would be coming out for the GBA. I love SW games and buy almost every one that comes out for a system I own. If anyone has read the review in Nintedo Power of JPB they might come off thinking that this game is no different than Obi Wan Adventures for the GBC. I own both games, and while perhaps JPB could possibly have taken a little better advantage of the GBA's graphical abilities, I was happy with the game. My main grudge with Obi Wan Adv. was that it was soooo sloooow. JPB is very quick paced, and the characters run pretty fast. There are the 4 playable characters in the GBA version: Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Mace Windu (you can unlock Darth Maul after beating the game). Each character has his own unique moves and Force move. The levels are very lush and detailed, and killing droids lets off a cool sparks. The gameplay is very challanging, and jumping can be tricky at times. But overall, I highly recommend this game.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Controls, October 7, 2002

First of all, I am a huge Star Wars fan. That said... This game looks like it would be a neat game and I'm sure it would...IF the play control was decent, but it's not. This has the worst play control out of every GBA game that I've played so far. Jumping is nearly impossible to do accurately. That alone makes the game far too difficult and bothersome to play. Things happen to my character all of the time. For example: I want to jump out and to an angle to jump to another platform, but the dumb thing jumps straight up and then I fall straight down into a pit. End of Life. THQ should have spent more time making the play control better or not released it at all. This game is a real disappointment.

This is an awesome game. I loved the PS game, and I knew this would be one of the best Nintendo GB games ever. They droped 2 characters from the original game, though. It has good graphics, clear game play, and great features.
