Almost as good as the DC version

I first played this game on the Dreamcast. My brother and I were addicted to it for hours as it was a lot of fun! With the GBA version there were some differences. In the DC version you didn't fight Jar Jar Binks. There were parts of the first level that were difference. In the opening portion of the seconds level, you were trying to outrun a droid ship through a stampede of animals and of course the game perspective was 3rd person 3D and not isometric like the GBA version. One other thing to note is that missing in this game was the level where you could overtake a Droid tank and take control of the City of Theed with it. That was a very cool level in the DC version!

The sound track, was different in the GBA version which I didn't enjoyed as much as the DC version sound track. Although the lasers and lightsaber sounds wer very similar!

But all that aside, THQ did a decent job of recapturing the essance of the game. Game control wasn't that bad! One reviewer seemed to have trouble with jumping. granted, just like the DC version, jumping was a bit tricky at times, but once you get used to it it gets easier. I think it's one of the few Star Wars games, on the GBA that really gives you the feel of the Star Wars universe.

Very good game by Legolas.

Those negative reviews are W-R-O-N-G WRONG! This in fact is a
G-R-E-A-T G-A-M-E GREAT GAME! There 10 levels (so I read.) in this game. The best character mustbeWindu! he's NOT my favorite character but his performance is awesone! when you kill an alien-ish dude there sort of an "ugh" sound.(I think.) what stinks is that there's no save feature BUT there's dumb pass-code feature. This might something good to bring on that 5 hour trip to summer vaction : D

NO CONTROL

This game is really awesome in some ways but in other it stinks. For example: The weapons, characters and moves are sweeeeet. But you can bearly see what you are doing. The lighting is AWEFUL. This game may be fun to play for about 3 days but then the problems get in the way. This game also has almost NO CONTROL. The controls stink. Do not even think about jumping because it is impossible. Most of the game is based on jumping from platform to platform. There are little guys that stand on the platform that you can not kill from you current position so you try jumping and end up beening pushed off by them. Very Frusterating. The saving on this game is also a big issue. The game gives you codes that are like 5-15 letters long so they are really hard to write down and get correct. I was almost about to beat the game but the code I wrote down was incorrect so I LOST!!!!!!! Other than all that this game is pretty decent. Do not think I am a totally killing this game I just choose to state the problems. It just was not my favorite. So enjoy this game!

Terrible Controls

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.

super great

Okay listen, I am a devoted Star Wars fan and so is my friend.
We are both really into videogames and we wanted to get JPB because of the online reviews saying that it has a 2-player mode. What a load of crap! Not only does it not have a 2-player mode, but the game is extremely repetitive throughout the entire story(with the exception of one level).
Not to mention the insanity I went through on all the cliffs.
There is virtually no way of telling how far away something is, so you always waste a life falling off.
Trust me, this game isnt worth the ... I paid for it.For the most part,the graphics are OKAY and it is pretty smooth too. But most of all I blame all the shopping sites that
list under features: 1 or 2-player mode. What bull.They need to do their research before posting stuff like that.(SERIOUSLY)

Warning to "mature" Star Wars fans and gamers.

I was really hyped for this game. I read the previews, poored over the screenshots and hunted for the best buy. Finally, I plucked down my hard earned money. Guess what? I got ripped off. My mistake? This game is geared for YOUNG players only. I'm talking pre-teen. Here's why: The game manual practically reveals everything your going to encounter and the controls are loose. Game play is strictly by the numbers. Slash here, run there, nothing challenging or any chance to explore the SW universe via your GBA. As for the graphics? My 5 yr old was beside himself. (I'll admit there pretty cool.)That's right, I'm a father, that's why I said not for mature fans. There's not enough meat here for hardcore gamers to sink their teeth into and as for the SW oldtimers, unless your a collector I say wait and see if SW2 for the GBA will be better. Otherwise, this game is perfect for the Anakin aged. Know if only they had a Darth Vader or Yoda cheat...

May The Force Be With You (You'll need it)

This is an excellent game, or at least it would be if it was possible to beat Darth Maul! Two and a half hour to get to him, and for what, to get knocked into the void on Darth Maul's first attack in the second room. Up to him it is challenging, but not too difficult, it would be nice to get some depth perseption though. Thank you Star Wars people for making a game that has an impossible final boss.

A VERY AWSOME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
