Excellent!!!
This is an excellent game for kids … the violence has been minimalized for the combination of these franchises. Star Wars, the huge Lucas saga, combined with a child’s favorite toy is an excellent combination for an interesting video game. The game play is simple and I especially enjoy using the jedi stomps on the adversaries. Each character has a unique ability that is helpful at some point in the game. Environments and enemies are varied. Graphics are good … the sound of Star Wars music can’t be beat … and my reviewer’s tilt is high because I enjoy Star wars stuff … the story line sticks pretty close to the three movies and it’s easy to understand without the player needing to read because there are just visual representations of the story between levels instead of the usual subtitles. This factor makes the game appealing to even very young children. Reviewer’s tilt is also high because my kid really likes this game. So I bought it for GBA, PC and PS2. The game is a bit harder on the GBA. That’s because the player doesn’t respawn automatically when killed. The GBA version you have so many lives and you can collect hearts, but when you die in the GBA version you’re dead and start the level over again. For this reason the GBA version is a bit more challenging to a child. The game is short on all ports but seems a bit longer on the GBA. The value rating on this game is low though because it is a very expensive game for the GBA and anything with Star Wars right now seems pricey. This is a pretty cool game the way the two areas of interest collided to create an interesting and entertaining Star Wars title.
