Two-dimensional platformer, directly referring to the second episode of "Star Wars". We take control of one of the two characters. It can be Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Star Wars Episode II: The Gameboy Advance version of Attack of the Clones is a simple dexterity. This game clearly refers, of course, to the second episode of "Star Wars", which had its official premiere in 2002. Several important facts can be deduced from this. First of all, during the game we get to know the characters known from the film. Moreover, the silhouettes of actors playing individual characters (or villains) have been preserved. We also visit locations known from cinema production. At the end of the game it is also worth mentioning the rather primitive intermittent scenes, appearing between the different stages of the game. They are supposed to illustrate the player's progress. David A. Palmer's studio is responsible for the preparation of this production, which has also played such games as Tokyo Xtreme Racer Advance or Men In Black: The Series. Pocket "Maple Attack" was created exclusively for a single player.
This arcade is first of all a quite extensive two-dimensional platformer. This means that we have to overcome similarly constructed boards, killing new enemies and getting into seemingly inaccessible places. In the latter case, the currently controlled hero (Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi) uses the powers already known, so that, for example, larger jumps can be fired. Power can also be used for mass destruction of enemies, although the light sword is mainly used for this purpose. An important role is played here not only by making correct strokes, but also by skillfully blocking enemy attacks (including missiles flying in our direction). The range of opponents is quite large. These are both living beings and droids that appear in the initial stages of the game.
In addition to the platform levels, simple race sequences have also been taken care of. They are played in a partially three-dimensional environment. The player's task here may be to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, or to avoid futuristic vehicles passing by on the way. Visually, Attack of the Clones falls out quite well. The fights are very effective and the environment changes quite often.
