Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

About

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones is a side-scrolling action game that follows the film’s storyline through the perspectives of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Mace Windu. Each character has distinct abilities and combat styles, requiring players to switch between them to solve environmental puzzles and battle enemies. The gameplay mixes platforming challenges with lightsaber duels and occasional vehicle segments, all presented in a 2D format that prioritizes speed and timing over depth. The game launched alongside the 2002 movie, making it one of the earliest entries in the prequel era’s wave of tie-in titles. While its mechanics feel straightforward by modern standards, the GBA port holds up for nostalgic players who enjoyed the film and want to relive its chaos in a handheld format. With 15 levels and a focus on quickfire action, it’s a brisk, if unpolished, ride through the Clone Wars’ early days.
