  1. 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.
  2. Definitely recommended for the experienced gamer due to its difficulty; it would have been a wise move by Crawfish to include a setting in options.
  3. As far as handheld first-person shooters go, Ecks vs. Sever deserves to be number one with a bullet. [Mar 2002, p.136]
  4. With simple level design and enemy AI that is so dumbed down that it is virtually nonexistent, Ecks vs. Sever doesn't pose much of a threat in the difficulty department.

    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. Expand

    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. Expand

    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! Expand
