Ecks vs Sever



A 2001 third-person shooter for the Game Boy Advance. It is technically based on Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, but it began to be made before the actual film itself began production and is based on a earlier script.

The game has two modes, one for Ecks and one for Sever. In Ecks's story, the plot begins In Medias Res with him being interrogated by the Defense Department over events that happened four weeks before his interrogation. In Sever's story, a similar interrogation is happening, but by the NSA.
