Description

An informant named Kilantrainia, "Bob" for short, has traveled 400 light years to warn Earth about an 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 Domingoaniax can use 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. The game features full, smooth-scrolling 3-D, smoke and transparency effects, 12 intricate levels to master, and nine unique weapons.

BackTrack is a good game. Not that bad. Right?

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!

WASTE OF MONEY

this is the worst game for my gba it is a complete waste of money. After I got I played it once and I got bored of it. I played it a few more times just to keep an open mind and I hate it. There are like 5 guys in the whole level, the story is ridiculus, the gameplay is boring and repetitive and the few guns are basically all the same.(...) They have a bubble gun for gods sake! This game is a first person shooter without the shooter. For the same price you could get Doom or Dark Arena when it comes out

Don't buy it.

This is the first game to show off the GBAs ability to do raytracing style games like Doom, Duke3D, etc.. sadly this one should have never been made. It offers nothing new, graphics are often bad.

As of this writing Doom has just been released, get it instead.

Great DeathMatch and Matrix Assult Games

This is a great game. The single player game is ok, but the deathmatch and Maxtrix game are a blast. Even if you have no one else to play with you, you can still enjoy a good deathmatch with a few bots. You get a ranking as you play and the bots can get hard, REALLY HARD. Even if you plan on buying the other FPS games, you should treat yourself to this game just for the deathmatch and matrix games alone.

Backtrack could have been better

Backtrack is currently the only First Person Shooter available for the GBA,this means that I have no comparison to others like it. But I can be sure that this is not the limit to this system's capability. First off,the gameplay is just plain boring,since there are very few dirrerent enemies, and the level design barely differs at all. It is also very short, it only has 12 levels where as every other FPS games for the GBA has at least 20. This game also throws you right into gameplay without telling you anything about whats going on. Overall,I'd wait for Doom,Ecks vs Sever,or Dark Arena. But if you can afford it, this game still has it's fun points(though few and far apart).
