Summary
An informant, Kilantrainia, -- or "Bob" for short -- has traveled 400 light years to warn Earth about the impending danger. Domingoaniax, an alien leader, and his army of mutants and robot soldiers have taken control of the BSBODSOM project (Build Secret Base on Dark Side of Moon). For months these aliens have been abducting humans and assimilating them into an army of droids that can be used by Domingoaniax to overwhelm Earth and plunder its natural resources. As our last hope, you must help Jim Track infiltrate the base and succeed where many others before him have failed. You must destroy every alien or assimilated human you encounter, port back as many unassimilated humans from the pods as possible, and then trigger the self-destruct sequence to terminate the moon base and the remaining aliens. Piece of cake mission until you realize that the only way in just happens to be the only way out. [Telegames]

All Game Guide
The smooth controls and frame rate prevent the game from being totally abysmal, but with the gameplay problems, weapon lag time, and weak save game feature, more work is needed.

From the minute you see the cheesy menus, you get a feeling of dread that this game isn't going to live up to its effects. And with a cheesy story and cheesy design leave that feeling hovering all through the game.

Thanks to a claustrophobic clipping plane and frequent dead zones, BackTrack still feels like unfinished shareware.

Funny spoof on FPS, and a great multiplayer with bots.
Serious D.(GBA FPS expert) gave it a 5:
Can FPSs be pulled off on the GBA with great results? Of course they can, and we have seen exactly a dozen on the small system. Some good (Duke Nukem Advance, Ice Nine), some bad (Wolfenstein 3D, Medal of Honor: Underground). But is the one that started it all any good? Back Track is the tenth best FPS for the GBA and the 1st released for the system. Back Track is a campy sci-fi FPS that limits you to the point where you can see only two feet in front of yourself and lets you man artillery like a bubble gun, yes, you heard me right, a bubble gun, and that's right, you guessed it, it fires bubble gum. What!
Jonathan F. gave it a 7:
An okay game with quite cool graphics but the plot sounds a bit like Star Trek and the sound's boredom.
