Ecks vs. Sever info please!?

[Gamer]

Hey i am thinking about picking up a copy of Ecks vs Sever, just wondering, first of all, is it worth it? It looks pretty cool and probably better than the other few shooters. If someone could give a brief summary of what the game is about and what there is to do in it, like how many missions, what type of options there are that would be great! Thanx a million!

Yeah, man, it's great! Definitely worth your cash! I'm still playing it and I got it a while ago.

Anyway, you take the roll of a cop that was forced to go Rogue. The story is told through little scenes in a court room where you are defending yourself inbetween missions. That's actually where your missions come. While your defending yourself you describe each of the missions and then replay them.

There are many missions, although I'm not sure the exact number. There are also many weapons, ranging from your pistol (where would a shooter be without a pistol?) to the Jackhammer shotgun (If you've played Max Payne or Project IGI you'll know what it is).
Missions are objective based, but many times expansive with many hidden goodied to pick up along the way.
The control scheme the developers came up with actually encourages me to buy more FPSs for GBA. L and are strafe, left and right turn, forward and back are forward and back (no up and down lookin other than with the sniper rifle), select changes weapons, start pauses, A is your action button and B shoot (or vica-versa, I don't remember).


Overall very good and indepth for a GBA game, and if I'm not mistaken it's based on an upcoming movie (with the same title).

So what are you waiting for? Go buy it, fool! Stop reading this very poor excuse of a short review! Go! Now! I'm going to stop typing if you don't go now! I'm serious. Get going! Look, an elephant at your local game store! Better check it out!

Yeah, I might be getting it today. If not the I'll get it next week. Looks pretty cool.




EDIT: I just got the game and it is AWESOME! The graphics are wonderful, the story so far is pretty good for a shooter.

I'm only on Ecks's fifth level and I'm already having trouble. Those guys SWAT guys that come at you in the bar are difficult. I keep getting killed...

Well thanx for the input Gambit! Im gonna buy it!
