Any Early Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force (GBA) Yet?

[FingersCrossed]Historically, SW games for the GBA have been pretty lame, but this one looks like it has some promise. [/FingersCrossed]

I already got this one...Not bad. The graphics are not that good, but the gameplay reminds me alot of Super Star Wars.

It has a really arcadey feel to it, not much strategy involved. The shooter levels are nice but repetitive. Yes, very much like the Super Star Wars games.

I think they could have just ported the Super Star Wars games from SNES to GBA and come up with a winner.

I remember playing the heck out of at least Super Star Wars on SNES (I know I played Empire and Jedi but don't remember them well) and remember it fondly. I don't know how well they would hold up today; perhaps not well, maybe that's why they didn't just port them.

I played a little (20 mins worth) of Apprentice of the Force and thought the animation and graphics were pretty cool. From what I've played so far it's not very deep and a pretty standard run, jump and shoot game but pretty fun so far.

I have SSW, and ROTJ for the SNES. Picked them up on Ebay.

They hold up reasonably well. Just overly difficult for my tastes, but I had that opinoin back in the day as well.

Finished AOTF today. Took about 2.5 to 3 hours total. It was ok, never got really good. There are a couple of shooter type sections that break up the game. The enemies get really cheap at the end and the game really doesn't make great use of force powers. It's about as straightforward as you can get with nothing surprising or groundbreaking along the way and Darth Vader (both times) was a cinch to defeat.
