E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Game Boy Advance (2002) is an action game based on the iconic movie character. Players control E.T., an alien trying to find pieces of a communicator scattered across various environments. The main objective is to collect these components while avoiding enemies and hazards that hinder progress.
The game's pace is methodical, requiring exploration and careful navigation rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic involves using E.T.'s special abilities, such as levitating objects and healing, which are essential to solving puzzles and advancing through levels. These abilities add depth to the gameplay by encouraging strategic thinking.
One distinctive feature is the emphasis on exploration within a limited overhead view, creating a sense of mystery as players uncover hidden items and pathways. The unusual idea of combining action with puzzle elements in a handheld format provides a different experience compared to typical action titles of its time.
