Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002). Play online

Summary

Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones rolls onto the Game Boy Advance as a mixed‑style action game, letting me swing a lightsaber as Obi‑Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker or Mace Windu. Over eleven levels the trio bounces through familiar locales—dusty Tatooine, bustling Coruscant and the arena‑filled plains of Geonosis—battling hordes of troops before landing on marquee bosses like Count Dooku and Jango Fett. Most stages play as 2‑D side‑scroll beat‑’em‑ups, but the title sprinkles in 3‑D first‑person chases, such as the speeder pursuit of Zam Wesell through Coruscant’s skyways. Developed by David A. Palmer Productions and released by THQ after its February 2002 announcement, the game earned roughly 38 % on GameRankings and a 38 /100 Metacritic, panned for clunky controls, shallow difficulty, weak level design, and an outdated password system. Still, some outlets like IGN nudged it up to a 6.5/10, suggesting the nostalgic shine of lightsaber combat can occasionally pierce the dark side of its reception.
