    A good fps but im not sure if its my copy or the actual game, but there are occasional freezes and crashes that really is a shame. other than that a good fps but when it comes to fps games for the gba you can beat Doom. i only wish they made a Half-Life or Resident Evil game for the gba.

    Nice shoot em up with all aspects of a good shooter. Con is the password system. Lots of weapons to choose from. In short, the game is very well designed and challenging.

    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 Ecks Vs.

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!… Expand

    Bastante decente para ser una GBA. El control es algo anti-intuitivo al principio, estaría bien poder cambiar los botones pero te acabas acostumbrando. El sistema de contraseñas es algo pesado pero tampoco demasiado. Algunas fases pueden ser algo frustrantes en dificultad. Es interesante poder jugar desde la perspectiva de ambos personajes. En definitiva es un shooter decente.

    A fair stab at an FPS that doesn't have much depth and is far too easy but is playable enough. The Doom games are far better though.

    The game is fast and smooth, with colourful graphics and easy to control characters. The action is non-stop and there are loads of missions, requiring your expert skills.

    Extremely polished from start to finish, and a worthy addition to any FPS fan's game library. [Spring 2002, p.38]
