A new edition of Modern Gaming is up as we continue with a Star Wars game about the Original Trilogy. Today the Solo movie releases in theaters as another annual Star Wars Film. The studio is a shadow of its former self because the people in the current studio seem not to care about what brought the series to the dance. They also seem to care more about lining their pockets then making quality films. That is the reason I can't take most lazy people seriously and it's this mentally that has cause even the Marvel brand to become trash. When I look at Disney's canon, I always shake my head in anger and refuse to even use it. We should be very grateful the Original Extended universe (it's getting preserved by true fans) is here to stay thanks to us.
The game for this edition titled Apprentice of the Force was released in 2004 on the Game Boy Advance. Ubisoft this time around became the publisher thanks to Lucas Arts' outsourcing the Star Wars name. The game belongs to the 2D side scrolling action platformer genre as you play as Luke. It's a story of Luke going through his journey of becoming a Jedi knight. Of course, this isn't a Han Solo game, but it's something I wanted to review for a while. Ever since 2004, I was always curious about how good this played as a 2D side scroller. Upon first glance it looked similar to the Super Trilogy on Super NES because of side scrolling elements. When it comes to the series in 2D gaming, the Super series was the peak of quality for its platformers. Now, can Ubisoft follow Lucas Arts' standards in 2D design?

A new edition of Modern Gaming is up as I will check out a Han Solo game titled Flight of the Falcon. Despite the Solo movie debuts in a few days, I won't check it out since the Mouse Empire started messing with the original canon. Let's talk about Han Solo and some of his tidbits from Lucas' canon. I found a few things interesting from the Original Trilogy of Episode 4. In the original cut, Solo flirted with some human woman in the Cantina scene when Luke and Obi-Wan came to their table. Of course, it got taken out from the original cut as I'm assuming Lucas didn't want to discourage 21st Century Fox for its rating. Honestly, he should've kept it in as this made Solo a more interesting character because of him acting like some womanizer. Of course, Lucas started moving Solo to a comedic character in Return of the Jedi and having the former smuggler speaking obvious dialogue. As for this edition, Flight of the Falcon got released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance and published by THQ. Surprisingly enough, this game wasn't produced or published by Lucas Arts but instead by THQ. I had no clue Lucas Arts let their licenses out to other publishers. Usually, they were the publisher most of the time with games like the Super series and Rogue Squadron. The game is under the rail shooter genre as I have already covered one from Sega. I can see why THQ wanted to use this genre since it has seen previous success during the 90s. However, I find it a bit odd that they would pick a system like the GBA to have a rail shooter. The genre has always been dull on portable systems of any kind. I just find it strange they would pick a portable to release a Star Wars game. Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon (GBA) Review |
