GBA First-Person Shooting at it's finest!

Ecks Vs. Sever is the fifth best FPS for the GBA, and the 3rd released for the system. Ecks Vs. Sever was the first FPS I played for the GBA and was awed by how good the graphics and gameplay were. I had to keep reminding myself that I was, in fact, playing a Game Boy! Now 3 years later we have exactly a dozen FPSs available for the GBA and Ecks Vs. Sever still remains in my top 5! I enjoyed Ecks Vs. Sever more than it's sequel, Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, because, all around, it's a better game. We have a great story, realistic weapons, real-word environments, and beautifully rendered enemy spirits. The game is awesome!

Amazing

I bought this game because I wanted a new experience from boring old "E" games. This game did the trick. It is awesome. Weapons are cool, graphics are great, the storyline is better than could have been hoped. I won't give it away, but I will say that the game pits the two main characters against each other, but they don't know they are members of a much larger plot. I love this game. I would advise it to just about anyone, especially FPS enthusiasts.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

this game [stinks]. it got boreing after five minutes and freezes every fifeteen. after an hour this game was sold. the graphics are really bad. you never have enough ammo and the weapons shoot to quickly so all your ammo is gone. the most accurate weapon in the game is the sniper rifle because it is MANUALLY aimed. your shots do very little to the enemy and theirs take about HALF (thats right HALF) your live. the swat commanders take two clips on the m16 or 3 for the jack hammer (the most powerfull gun in the game but it fires to god damn slow) to continue a mission you need a frieken code. this game is NOT in any way at all realilistic. the guns do not hold the right amount of ammo. your weapons reload too slow and the enemys (even the guards( the weakest in the game and who have revolvers) seem to have an almost endless supply of ammo with no reload time.if you do run out of ammo (and you will.your pitol which sucks) slowly feeds one and only one round into the chamber at a very very slow speed. all in all this game frekin [stinks] and the creators and design team need to be takin out back and shot(not letrally) for makeing this game which descraces the good name of nentindo and the GBA.

WOW! WOW!!

THIS GAME IS AMAZING. I looked at these reviews on Amazon.com but I was still a little unsure. I got the game. Opened the package, picked ecks and started playing. IT IS AMAZING. The gun in front of you is like Gamecube graphics. The rest of the graphics are like N64 graphics in the first 007 on it.But for a gameboy? All I can say is WOW! It's fully panoramic and first person, there is strafing, opening doors. Running up stairs, hidden elavators and vent, like 20 guns, crouching, a very good plot, story, fun missions, 12 levels able to be done with either ecks or sever, (each has a different thing to do. Example: Ecks: chase Sever and don't lose sight. Sever:make sure Ecks doesn't follow.)
which makes it like 24 levels, and fun. IT IS AN AMAZING GAME

the best first pers. shooter!!!

this is a truly beautiful game, gameplay is amazing, missions are varied and innovative, more than we could have asked for from our GBA, but why O why is it so easy to complete???
just 14 missions (i think!!!) and some are dead easy (and short),
why not a hard or "nightmare" mode for fans of first pers. shooters like me. let's hope that "ballistic" will excel where the first one can frustrate some of us...
in a few words : very good game, probably the best of its kind, but a bit too easy...

ah guning games is there anything better well perhaps RPG's.

This game is so good. Ive been wanting a good FPS on the gba, so i bought Ecks vs Sever. At first it was a little shaky, but after i got used to it and farther into the game i was hooked. The grphx are OK, but the gameplay is really great. And the weapon selection is fairly big. Since me and my brother both hav our own gameboyadvance's and we just recently purchased the gamelink cable. When we heard that u needed two gamepaks to play multiplayer, we decided to buy the game again. And it was worth it!! It is so fun. The best kind to do is Deathmatch cause its like 007 Goldeneye on the go. Trust me, this game is worth to buy twice just to play the multiplayer.

Ecks vs. Sever, a new FPS hit for the Gameboy Advance....

I've got to be honest, I bought me a Gameboy Advance because I wanted to play First-Person Shooters on the go. I've got more than enough to play now(Backtrack,DOOM,Dark Arena, Wolfenstein 3D) and, even with my mentoning all of those being great games on their own and favorites of mine, there's another I have to add to my list. Ecks vs. Sever.
I can't really describe the game to you. Part of me wants to call it the GBA equivalent of Goldeneye but that would be doing the game injustice as it's several different types of First-Person Shooters. What can I tell you about it? Well, It's fun, intense, and downright addictive. It's definitely worth adding to your game collection. Trust me.
You know it's got to be good because a second game is coming in the series for the Gameboy Advance. So, get your copy today. This game rocks!!!

A must have!

Let me tell you, this game is defenatly worth the 30 bucks! I have to say I was VERY sceptical about buying a first person,
3-D game for such a small system, but WOW, I'm now a beleiver! I would have to say the only three things I dislike about this game is the fact that the enemies are a little fuzzy, but nothing to cry over. Second, the story that comes after every mission you beat is all words, no pictures, and the words go by awfully fast. And third, you cannot save your game, you must remember a pasword for the level your at in order to continue that level. On the other hand the framerate (or how fast the game moves) is great, no slow downs even when your fighting like ten guys at once! The sound is also very good all the grunts and groans almost sound real, and guns sound real as well. Probably my favorite aspect of the game is that the missions are not just typical kill every one and you win missions, they have complexity such as assainations and excaping bombs. You also have MANY MANY different guns to choose from such as M-16 and grenade launchers. Also If your worried about the graphics being bad their not, I think their wonderful (well for a game boy)and if you look at the screen shots when you click the picture of the game, its about how good the graphics are in real life! The controling takes some getting used to if you play alot of first person games with joy sticks like on N-64 because as you know game boy has the arrow pad. Personaly i think the controling on this game is easy and I come from an N-64! All in all I have to say this is my all time favorite game for GBA and I'd say its a must have for any one who likes first person games.

A Pretty Good Game
