  1. 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.
  2. While Apprentice isn’t lacking in small challenges, the hardest part about getting through the game is having the patience to move through all the more boring sections, since it does get pretty repetitive after a while.
  3. 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. The game mechanics are fairly simple and the controls respond well enough; though I did find the dash ability a tad sensitive, often dashing into a bottomless pit when my intention was just to jump over them. All the levels are a simple “make your way from left to right” fare where you are occasionally locked within a screen-width section of the level and must kill a set number of enemies before progressing.

    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
