Now this is more like it! Just in time for the release of the classic Star Wars DVDs that just came out, Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force really seems to give the GBA a run for its money. While the game may not be perfect, the timing for folks to try it certainly is.

With Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force, Ubisoft set upon the ambitious task of condensing the events from all three of the original Star Wars films into a single game. You get to experience the story from Luke’s point of view and will ultimately run, jump, shoot, and slash your way through more than 50 levels spread across 10 chapters. The game does a good job of switching between blaster-focused, lightsaber-focused, and vehicle-focused stages, and it does succeed at getting the main points of the story across. Unfortunately, though, the combat is shallow and repetitive, and, as a whole, the game is awfully brief–perhaps five hours from beginning to end.
