Two players can also play through the story cooperatively, using two copies of the game, two GBA systems, and a link cable-which is a very nice bonus indeed. Obviously, Anakin's path is the more interesting of the two, since it follows his transition from promising Jedi knight into the universally feared menace known as Darth Vader. Each character has his own set of attacks and Force powers, as well as his own individual path through the game's 21 levels, which consist of five shared levels and eight levels that are unique to that particular character. Right from the get-go, you have the option of playing as either Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker. To the game's credit, however, the characters have a hefty arsenal of attacks and Force powers, and the concern regarding length is dealt with somewhat by the customizable upgrades that you can earn and build upon by replaying levels. Also, the combat is often formulaic and repetitive. Just like other games of its ilk, this isn't one that takes a long time to finish. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for the GBA is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up that gives players the chance to kick and slash their way through two different variations of the film's story.
