Might've had the same issue as the original Lego Star Wars had, by releasing the games before the movie itself they couldn't actually use any of the movie soundtrack
I’ve noticed a few details in the game take inspiration from Clone Wars 2003, like the GBA Co-op stages, the Azure Angel on Coruscant, the explosion effects in Starfighter mode, and Mace and Grievous’ attacks.
Actually these enemies are just modelled after the CIS droids. They were supposed to be some sort of automatic protection system i think but it is most likely possible that the creators wanted to fill the game a littlebit with the creation of an extra level like this. After all it was mostly played by children who didn't really care about such details.
Only handful of people knew about Palpatine's true nature. Count Dooku knew about it...I don't think even Greivous knew about it. It was necessary to keep it a secret. So obviously the droids too had no idea about it.
Made no sense Anakin had to fight his way to the chancellor office at all really, much less fighting seppy Droids in Coruscant. Guess they just wanted to add a stage for the player to fight instead of going into a boss fight instantly.
This happend to me. For me it was honestly a surprise to see Anakin turn evil, because even though I watched the original trilogy, I didn't quite understood that Anakin from the Prequels is Darth Vader. So when Anakin became Vader in this game my young self was absolutely caught offguard
@@mareklonestar7053 That must’ve been weird since the games got some of the things from the movie wrong. Like how in the movie, Anakin turns to the dark side to save padme from dying and beloved taking out the Jedi, believing that they were the “evil” ones, would restore peace to the galaxy. In here though,he pretty much turns because he didn’t get a promotion. Lol It’s funny since the games involving revenge of the sith came out before the actual movie did. It got some things wrong but it spoiled the damn movie.
@@mareklonestar7053 Same here, I felt hurt to find out my favorite hero became the imfamous villian, Darth Vader. As I got older though, I began to love his whole character arc and the fact that he's Darth Vader
@@backtothefutureman1 i was like 4-7 years old so i didnt understand what i should do but i remember (no racist) that i fought a bald black man i think its windu
The devs were obviously big fans. The soundtrack that plays during boss dialogue (Dookus at the beginning) is the “fight music” for Durge in 2003 clone wars
Episode III is the best film in the entire Star Wars series. Masturbate on the original trilogy, and hate prequels, because it's fashionable, I'm not going to.
@@zachduperron8543 same here. the original trilogy is just too old. and i watched it alot as a small kid so i should be biased but im not. take a shot everytime someone says "i have a bad feeling about this"
I grew up with the clone wars and the prequels from the LEGO Star Wars games so it caused me to like clones over storm troopers same with droids over rebels. Basically the prequels is my Star Wars and I want it to stay that way plus the Disney sequels made the Star Wars franchise worse in my opinion.
@@Joey8930 Lots and lots of free time and having a little OCD is how I did it honestly. In terms of specifics though... I don't remember, this was a long time ago for me
1:03:30 I remember this part, I absolutely hated it. I hit these guys with my lightsaber like a million times and then they die to like one laser shot, shit bugged me out.
Thank you for posting this! When I was a kid, I used to go to a video game store where they had a bunch of consoles set up for people to try various games. They had Nintendo DS's there for some time, and this was one of the games! I remember playing this game, but could never get past level 4 where you had to escape in 1 minute (I never figured out how to run...)
Bruhthat sh*t had me pulling my hair out with frustration lmao especially because the air battle mode wasn't on inverted controls and I played that a lot
Yea and honestly looking at this they do t exactly fit the style between both games, I was expecting more of a 16 bit style flying but was surprised to see actual 3D
I suddenly remembered sitting on my parents bed as a boy playing this game. I asked my dad what upgrade I should buy. He said he didn’t know 😅. We’re so innocent as kids. That was maybe 18 years ago. I’ve got two little nephews now that I dote on and who ask me silly questions.
Probably one of the games I ever played the most, I remember I could almost do the entire game without losing a single health point, I absolutely loved it (was 8-ish back then)
I got my Nintendo DS and this game for Christmas about a decade ago and it kicked ass. I remember playing it so many times I was able to go through all the boss fights and never get hit on master difficulty. My favorite part was strangling people with the Force.
Yeah, he seems to really enjoy being evil, a stark contrast to the movie version. Also the portraits they use look pretty good. It doesn't realky feel like "Darth Vader" but I kinda like it
I had the GBA version too. This seems to be a remake or re-release, the only difference being the 3D flying levels which werent in the GBA game. Also the character portraits look a bit nicer than I remember.
This brings me back. I remember getting stuck on the Obi Wan part on Utapau where you fight a bunch of the slugs and golden magnaguards. Then one time I booted up the game and everything for both stories was unlocked, so I played some of the Anakin Mustafar stuff that I had never gotten too. Then the next time I played it everything went back to how it was before and all the levels I didn't get to were locked again
0:44 Master Obi-Wan Kanobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker set out to rescue Chancellor Palpatine who had been taken hostage by General Grievious and his droid army 26:21 Badly damaged the Separatist cruiser burns as it plows through Coruscant's atmosphere. With the help of firespeeder rescue ships, the two Jedi land the burning ship on Coruscant. 28:04 Anakin flies to the Jedi Temple, but he does not expect the Jedi Council to be pleased with the Chancellor's request. 32:18 Will the council truly accept Anakin? Will they finally grant him the rank of Jedi Master?
TacticianDaraen Actually, that’s not a spoiler. It it said that Darth Vader was once named Anakin in the original trilogy, so you could’ve guessed it since Episode I
37:05 Yaas, I finally found my big boy Azure Angel in this game. There are literally no graphics of it on the Internet. And btw this game seems very appealing. ;-)
What an awesome game! I remember the most frustrating moment of my life, when I realise that I can't defeat Grievious cause my L and R touch were broken...
I remember having this game but coulda swore it was on gba not DS, might just be recalling improperly but still it amazing i found play through accidentally.
This is one of those games that had both a GBA version and a DS version. Why they decided to have both a GBA and DS version, I'll never know. Probably to cater to people who didn't have a DS at the time.

The contrast between how well the 2D visuals "hold up" versus how poorly the 3D segments do is insane.
Even the 3d parts look decent for a ds game
2D parts weren't even that good for GBA standarts.The quality is fine, but the art is poor, except the main characters.
@@InsidiousOne Gba standards? You know what you are watching right?
@@gimmethepuh6365 This is a port, from gba to ds. The space battles are an addition to the ds version
Doesn’t make any sense how the Separatist droids are in the way when Anakin is trying to go and save the chancellor from Windu.
The Separatists were quite good at infiltration, neither the Jedi nor the Sith were able to keep them out of Coruscant!
Adamwinters I think he meant how the droids shouldn't be stopping anakin from saving their leader.

Walkthrough.
do you think it's harder to play as Anakin
@Knight Zorgest not to mention Anakin in a way is stronger than obi wan and I think he's the toughest Skywalker
Same I completed it on hard to and unlocked all ships
1:23 "This is where the fun begins."
*Oh, you have no idea*
In my opinion this game is very underrated
Is fun, I liked the battle ship mode
For me this game as epic or more as Madness Accelerant & Simpsons Arcade.
Love how Anakins face visibly changes when he goes bad.
@JOSIAH ROCK 57:09 for one example...
Yes, that's even better than in the movie
This is a game of a more civilized age. Before the dark times. Before the Play Market.
Imagine if you never watched the Star Wars movies, and the story in the game story was all new to you...would be so freakin epic.

Pretty much. Still fun anyway though, and I played the shit out of the flying skirmishes between beating the story mode over and over.
Yeah and it's better
Bought to say this does look like a gba game.
I'm not too big on how you can't skip the 3D segments.
I completely forgot this game. Perhaps my archives were incomplete.
Not going to lie, for all the hate that ep.3 received, this was a really fun game. Now if only I knew where my copy was.

I always found flying the hardest because everything was inverted
Absolutely

I couldn't even reach like halfway through. I only jumped and did like basic attacks and thought I was a pro
Took me a year to figure out that you could play as obi-wan lmao
I was today years old when I found out about this game. And I really want to play it.
Lol obi wan falls into the lava trying to get the lightsaber. Anakin trips him
