Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the force seems like the greatest way to fully enjoy Star Wars. This is not a bad game but as my title says, its repetative. That's not to say its a bad game, it just rehashes too much at throughout each level.

The game is comprised of five chapters, ten levels in each chapter so the game is 50 levels long. You control Luke throughout your journey through the Star Wars Trilogy. You'll begin in A New Hope and end in Return of the Jedi. The game follows the story quite closely and throws in a scene shot (not an actual scene, think of Super Star Wars) from the movie every now and then.

The game plays out simple. Each level is a 2D side-scroller where you'll work your way from one of the level to the other. When you first begin its really easy to get into it. The game doesn't present any major challenges and then you get to the moment where you have to stop to massacre a bunch of your enemies at once. Pretty soon this becomes a chore in almost every level. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have it play out the same way. Luke doesn't take much damage... and he deals out a lot. Top that off with most levels can be progressed through pretty fast so in short it feels like your doing the same thing over and over again. This also wouldn't hurt so much if the game weren't so easy.

There are a few fun levels though. The Trench of the Death Star is pretty fun, and so is the Speeder Bike chase from Return of the Jedi but these level are too few and far between. Mostly you'll just play through the side-scrolling levels. If the game didn't have 40 of these levels and had a bit more variety in the gameplay it would be a little better.

However, Luke does get lots of different moves. When you begin you can only do the basics like jump, crouch shoot and the like. By the time you get to the end of the game you'll be able to do backflips, double jumps and a whole lot more. After each chapter Luke gains another ability or two he can use. This makes it so there's plenty for you to do. I wish as the game went on though, enemies attack patterns would change. An enemy that only fire one blast at you will always only fire one blast at you. As you get further into the game the difficulty level never ups itself.

After you get through the game though, you can rush through the game playing the levels that aren't the same old side-scrolling. But that isn't enough to warrant this game for a buy.

Graphic wise the game doesn't live up to the full potential of the GBA. Visually it isn't appealing enough but it runs pretty fast and stays consistant. I haven't experienced any slow down. The game is pretty colorful but a bit more of a facelift would've been nice.

The audio in the game is disturbingly good. While John Williams classic score sounds a little odd coming from the GBA speaker at times, it matches up with the movies really well. The game also borrowed voices from the movie and dumped them in; from the Jawas to Darth Vadar. There are some original tunes but most you'll recognize from the movies.

This isn't a bad game but it also offers no replay value. Its too easy for starters and eventhough its 50 levels long you can finish it in a day or two. Should you buy it you won't have it long before you fully exploit what it has to offer. The repetativeness of each level is also tedious after a while.

Overall, this is not really a bad game but it really isn't good either. Great idea, but it doesn't live up to the potential of what it could be.

There is a lot of text in this game. I say, "Enough with this reading, lets play the game". The graphics and the music are nothing spectacular. There are better games out there. From what I've seen so far, I think they would have had a better game if they'd just ported over the code from the old "Super Star Wars" game on the Super Nintendo. The game play is very similar to that older game. You run around as Luke, shooting things. I'm guessing it's a bit redundant for me. And I know my five year old won't enjoy having to press the button to skip over all that text. Hope George Lucas puts our money to good use and deliver us an awesome movie next Summer.

Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force is a pretty good game. You move through Star Wars IV, V and VI playing as Luke Skywalker. Along the way you gain Jedi powers and meet other characters as you work to defeat the Empire. I enjoyed this game a lot but I agree with the comments that it was too easy. I am generally not very good at video games. A game that most people defeat over a weekend takes me months. I was able to defeat the entire game in only two weeks of playing the game on and off. I thought the graphics and sounds were pretty nice. They use several detailed still pictures from the movies. The music was pretty good too. I am disappointed that this game is not nearly as nice as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) Star Wars trilogy games. In those games you can play as different characters from the movie and the game story is much lengthier and difficulty much higher. There are several games for Game Boy Advance that are mostly just copies of SNES games. I was hoping Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force would be more like that.

I finally beat this game today and I have to say that this is the best game I have ever seen that dealt with the original movie trilogy, even better than the Super Nintendo games. The game follows the story almost perfectly from Episode IV all the way to the end of Episode VI.

The story is told by Luke's point of view. The in-game story is fun and true to the movies. The only downer is that this can be a difficult game at times. For a Game Boy game, this is great. I recommend fans get this, but expect it to be an easy ride.

This is a pretty good game for the GBA that takes you through the original 3 movies; in a game. It's a pretty good game, but it's also not that great. here's my review:

Graphics: 3.5/5. The graphics are not that great. You can not see the characters faces, the landscapes are a bit sloppy and boring, but hope the characters move and everything is great.

Sound: 4.5/5. The sound is pretty good. Has original music, and sounds from the animals and all. Blaster pistol noises, Jawas, Sand People.. but like most handheld games, no voice acting.

Control: 5/5. Can't get simplre. To shoot sideways just hold L, to jump press A, to shoot press B. Really easy.

Fun: 4/5. This is one of the best, if not the best, Starwars handheld games I've ever played, but it is still not better than the platform games. This game follows episodes 4-6, and does a fair job, but it also does it rather quickly, cheaply, and using repetetive level design.

Introduction

As being a Star Wars fan all my life I have been introduced to comics and really action packed movies, along with this video game, I am now crazy about the original trilogy. This game is based on the awesome trilogy- that started it all.

Overview

This platform game has fantastic levels, terrific gameplay, and really good graphics. As you probaly know, that Luke trained with the ways of the force, first by defeating the Death Star, then surviving the blizzard on Hoth, and looking at Darth Vader under the mask. You all get to experience all these circumstances- in this game!

Review



This game kept me playing and can really let you love the first trilogy. As for Pros and Cons I would suggest that Pros would beat the game fast. Cons would have a terrible time at the tusken raider camp. This game was great to play and you can get scenes from the movie after you complete each episode.

Ending

Now, start your game by experiencing all of the 1977 footage from a New Hope to Return Of The Jedi. I suggest this game to all Star Wars fans alike, scattered across that galaxy far, far away!

Star Wars Trilogy:Apprentice of the Force is one of the most greatest games on the gaming market. First you have to select the language, then you move on to the option screen, select one of the options. That's when you put a three-letter name in. Finally, a Introduction comes in. From there on your Original Trilogy adventure begins. These are most of the characters in the game: Luke Skywalker, Owen Lars,Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi,R2-D2, C-3PO,Han Solo, Chewbacca,Princess Leia,Yoda,The Ewoks,Tusken Raiders (Sand People), Boba Fett,Stormtroopers,Snowtroopers, Scout Troopers,Seeker Droids,Wampas, Gamorreans, Swarm (tiny insects found on Endor), Insectoids (These insects are Native to Endor),Borra (These are highly agressive quadrupeds native to Endor), Darth Vader, and of course the rancor.

The ammo bar tells you the number of special bullets Luke has left. The Life Bar tells you about Luke's health. The Jedi Force Bar Is the amount the of Jedi Force Luke possesses. Items such as Jedi Potion, Life Containers, Blue Blaster Powerup, Green Blaster Powerup, and Purple Blaster Powreup.

The Jedi Powers are a noble order of protectors unified by their belief. I love the game and highly reccommend!

This game looks nice and for the most part, plays quite well. But there are parts of the game that can be very frustrating. In my book, you have to balance the toughness of competition and accomplishment with frustration. When a game goes too far to the frustration side, what is the point of it?

the best star wars game on the gba the controls are perfect the game play is great the game has the whole star wars trilogy on it if you like star wars get this game even if you dont or never saw star wars get this game

I wouldn't say this is a great game, it has it's flaws, but I found it enjoyable.

It does get on my nerves when I have to shoot a thousand storm troopers before I can move on though. I mean, if Luke had to fight that many storm troopers in the movies, he would be dead.

Really nothing more I can say. It's a good game, and it kept me occupied. Worth buying for Star Wars fans.
