What is Ecks vs. Sever?
"Ecks vs. Sever" is the Game Boy Advance's first ever hit in the genre of first-person shooting, developed by Crawfish Interactive and released in November 2001. Although it remains one of the peculiarities of the Game Boy Advance alone, the game possesses an unusual association: it was based on an early script for the 2001 film "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever," thus becoming the only game ever to be released before the film's production had even begun. Diverging from the ever-popular single-story first-person shooter, the game incorporated a dual storyline method in which players could assume the role of either Ecks or Sever and go through two separate storylines and missions that eventually merged.
How to Play
In "Ecks vs. Sever," you run through a slew of first-person shooting levels where you accomplish objectives and shoot the hell out of bad guys. The game comprises eleven levels on each character side: each level is different in challenges. Players face fierce boss battles against the other character, with the solo battles adding pressure to the rest of the gameplay challenges. Controls are optimized for use with the Game Boy Advance's directional pad and buttons for aiming and movement.
Tips & Tricks
- Learn the Controls: Practice maneuvering around in the game's environment on the GBA controls. This knowledge will make aiming and movement second nature.
- Plan Your Attacks: Levels offer varying challenges. Use the pause in-between levels to prepare your approach and be ready for combat situations.
- Exploit the Environment: Some levels give you options with environmental hazards and interactive elements that players can use to their advantage.
- Boss Fights: Before every boss fight, save your progress; practice your combat skills again so that you are confident!
