Advantages: Incredible graphics, Great gameplay, Challenging

Disadvantages: No in game music, Not great AI, Very dark at points.

I was reading a GBA magazine a few months before i purchased this title, and i read the article saying how a First Person Shooter (FPS) could not possibly be done on the Game Boy Advance..... That of course , was completely wrong. Its not just that it can be done, its that it can be done, has been done, and has been done WELL!!

Ecks Vs Sever is one of the GBA's first shooters, and i managed to pick it up for a budget £25. You play the role of either, Ecks or Sever which means throught of the game, theres two different paths to take, depending on the character you have chosen.
You start off in a building on the first level, and its very wierd playing a 3D game on the Gameboy, but its also suprising well worked controls. Left and right. up and down walk. A button shoots, B button opens doors and so on, select changes weapon, and R and L buttons Straft your player.

The graphics are highly texture, well made, and the speed of which the game runs at with all this is incredible! The guns and very powerful and the whole game gives a great sense of power for some reason...!

Well, the article was certainly wrong, becasue i personally think that Ecks Vs Sever is one of the greatest GBA titles to date, and if you enjoyed the old FPS on the PC then this is a game for you. Even if you dont its worth playing purely for the graphics and 3D of the game!

A great product! Well done BAM!

*Runs back to playing it...
