Lynk Former Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 There A LOT of good games for GBA... it's just that none of them are good STAR WARS games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 As I mention in an article here: The Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon Principle - Remember that the very best Star Wars GameBoy Advance games are mediocre, and most are pretty lousy, so do *not* 'day of release' purchase anything Star Wars for a handheld system ... wait for reviews. The Star Wars Trilogy Apprentice of the Force confirmation of The Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon Principle – I spent nearly $150 on September 21st 2004 – I got the Star Wars Trilogy DVD's, BattleFront for the PC and Apprentice of the Force for the GameBoy Advance. I love the DVD's, consider a Battlefront a painful reminder that I like single-player, story based FPS games, and consider Apprentice of the Force as a reminder that Star Wars handheld games are mediocre at best. This one isn't terrible like Flight of the Falcon, but I've not touched it since finishing – and it hasn't ever held my kids' interest. The Star Wars Episode III exception to The Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon Principle – I knew someday they would make a Star Wars handheld game worth playing. I got this one on the day of release, and it has been one of the games I've played the most over the last several months. The mix of side-scrolling GBA-style action and GameCube-style space battles is very satisfying. Now the Episode III game is a DS one, but the GBA has some pretty good stuff as well. LEGO Star Wars is 'OK' - nowhere near as good as the under-rated PC version though. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 from what my cousin said, the ds and the gba games are exactly the same, minus the 3d space battles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 from what my cousin said, the ds and the gba games are exactly the same, minus the 3d space battles True - but the space battles, and the GameCube-like multiplayer action, are truly very well done - certainly better than vehicles on the PSP version of Battlefront II!

Sabretooth Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Episode III is fine, but all the others suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Maybe LucasArts can get Nintendo to make a Star Wars themed Advance Wars game XD lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Malak02 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 thanks guys...I might consider lego star wars, what do you guys think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Get it on the PC as said. It's a great game. I've played it by myself and coop on my XBOX. There are so many better GBA games out there as mentioned as well. What interests you? Tell us what kind of game you want (besides it being SW) and maybe we can suggest something.

Darth Groovy Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Jedi Power battles is ok. Probably the closest thing to the original Super SW games for the Super NES. Stay away from SW Trilogy though, it's just ......discusting. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Maybe LucasArts can get Nintendo to make a Star Wars themed Advance Wars game XD lol. That would be cool...and they could keep the anime feel.. making it like my sig pic Maybe they'll do a GBA version of Empire at war. (OT: hey, Firefox just crashed (a rare event in itself) and when i restarted I got this post back in the state i had got to typing it.. never expected that. Yay for not retyping posts!)

txa1265 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 thanks guys...I might consider lego star wars, what do you guys think I agree with the ratings that toms quoted more or less ... though I wasn't as kind to LEGO Star Wars for the GBA in my review.

Lynk Former Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I wonder if LucasArts (and friends) would bother to create a Star Wars themed FPS game for the DS. Metroid Prime Hunters is looking pretty damn good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Do you remember those old JK on DS mockups that were floating around a few months back? now that would rock. Be nice to have a new story though. And cone to think of it, the DS's controls would be great for a Tie Fighter style 3d space combat game...

Lynk Former Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yeah I've been dreaming of flying X-Wings as well as Arwings on my DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yeah, DF or JK redone on handhelds would kick ass. I'd settle for any SW FPS though. Err, non Battlefrontish that is. Playing as a stormie and raiding Reb bases or vice versa would rock, as long as it's not focused on multiplayer maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Malak02 Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 I just went to EB Games today and bought a game i've never heard of before. It's a little annoying at times but i think that it is ok (as far a SW games for GBA go) Star Wars: The New Droid Army. Anyone heard of it?

OK is pretty much how I'd sum it up - if I had to review it now I'd give it 3/5. I had some fun with it, but there were loads of annoyances and not much depth - but occasionally things just click, and there are some good Star Wars moments.

Darth_Malak02 Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 2 questions..1.Is their anyway to run? (and i don't mean forcespeed) 2. Do you ever play as anyone other than Anakin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Jedi Power Battles came out on the DS/GBA? Yikes! If it's anywhere near as bad as the DC or PSX versions though it's definately not worth it... that game was a mess of frustration... annoying puzzles, poor Star Wars "realism," stupid cameras and wasted opportunities. Plus the gameplay is repetative, and not in a good, fighting game way (like it ought to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The problem with most GBA Star Wars game is that all they are are really short and simple adventures meant for a younger audience. There's no real depth to it, it's just for those kids who bug their parents to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real depth to it, it's just for those kids who bug their parents to buy it. I'm wondering how many SW GBA games you've played, as comparing the games I *have* played (which is all but Episode II) to much of the 'younger targeted' stuff my kids have (like SpongeBob, etc) I see a large difference. Sure, we're not talking Fire Emblem or Golden Sun here, but some of this stuff is reasonable action gaming. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Malak02 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think that most people say that SW games are bad but in reality they love them...honestly I'm that way about some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
