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.

All in all, without the license, Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force would be an average side-scroller for the GBA. Thankfully, the Star Wars license does add to the game, particularly its presentation, and makes for a better game as a result.

Other than a few cool moments here and there, there isn’t a lot going on that can’t be gotten elsewhere. There are many other excellent side-scrolling games out there that offer a lot more play time, but those games don’t have the Star Wars name.

Ok the game gets a bit boring right from the start, It even seems like the game is about taking hits, Everything becomes more interesting when you get your lightsaber, although that does not change the fact that you will continue to take hits, even if the saber can reflect shots, Everything is better because the gameplay later is more frenetic, more fun, it is not only shooting and collecting cards to open doors, but That moment lasts very little, you really enjoy the game almost at the last minute, The game could have been better, because most of the time I was listening to Luke scream in pain when 3000 lasers hit him and almost everything was so repetitive, I was left wanting to see a totally polished game, which, unfortunately, will never come out.

It offers really smooth and stunning animations at the cost of a really awkward "cel-shaded" render technique that doesn't mesh with the rigidly laid-out backgrounds. The game is fun to a point, but then it starts getting repetitive really early in the level progression.
64
The combat is shallow and repetitive, and, as a whole, the game is awfully brief--perhaps five hours from beginning to end.

Control is solid, but some puzzles are nonintuitive. [Nov 2004, p.133]
50
While it's an ambitious title -- especially for the Gameboy Advance -- that attempts to cram in every last Luke-related minute of the classic Star Wars trilogy, Apprentice Of The Force is a touch too repetitive and simple to be enjoyable for all that long.
30
Too bad the side-scrolling gameplay is so generic. You're best off staying far, far away from this galaxy. [Dec 2004, p.170]
