A Game Boy Advance adaptation was released in 2004. The GBA game was created independently of Namco, due to a licensing deal with Destination Software.[2] The most distinguishing characteristic of Kill Switch is its cover system, a mechanic that has the player character taking cover behind objects and around corners in a manner similar to Namco's own Time Crisis series of light gun shooters as well as Koei's third-person shooter WinBack[3] and Hideo Kojima's stealth game Sons of Liberty.[4] However, Kill Switch was the first third-person shooter to feature the cover system as its core game mechanic, though Gears of War would popularize it.[5] StoryProtagonist Nick Bishop (voiced by Marcus McCollum) is a super-soldier remotely controlled via direct neural connection by a man known only as "Controller" (voiced by Chuck McQuary) in a series of combat missions designed to bring "the North" and "the West" to war. Profiteer Archer (voiced by Adam Baldwin) plans to benefit by selling the technology used to control Bishop, who gives Controller headaches on recollection of suppressed memories featuring a woman and the phrase "Say my name". Moments before launching a biological warhead, Controller is killed by a surge triggered when a woman known as "Duchess" (voiced by Adrienne Wilkinson) seizes control of Bishop. Sent to attack Controller's base, Bishop's memories are eventually restored: the woman from his memories was his new wife, who Archer killed when he captured Bishop to sell the technology inside him. Freed, Bishop kills Archer in a final assault and walks away. Reception{{Video game reviews|GR = 78.34%[6] |GamePro = {{rating|4|5}}[8] |GSpot = 6.9 / 10[7] |GameZone = 8.5 / 10[8] |IGN = 8 /10[9] |OPM = {{rating|4|5}} |Play = B+[10] |rev3 = GMR |rev3Score = 8 / 10[10] |rev4 = Loaded |rev4Score = 8.2 / 10[10] |rev5 = UGO |rev5Score = A-[10] }}Kill Switch was regarded as having a thin plot and simplistic level design, but the gameplay mechanics such as the cover system were considered engaging. It was compared to the Time Crisis series. The Xbox version of the game was said to contain enhanced graphics over the PS2 version. GameSpot awarded the Xbox version a 6.9 out of 10.[11] The GBA version of the game was similarly received, with IGN calling it a "solid portable action title" and awarding it a 7.5 out of 10.[2] LegacyKill Switch is best remembered to be the first third-person shooters to feature a cover system as its core game mechanic,[5] and for introducing the blind fire mechanic to the cover system.[12] Several shooters took inspiration from Kill Switch and implemented similar cover systems. In the design of Gears of War, lead developer Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games credits Kill Switch's cover system as one of the influences they put into the game's design,[13] as Kill Switch's lead designer Chris Esaki was employed by Epic Games and was involved in the development of Gears of War.[14]Naughty Dog's Drake's Fortune, which began development in 2005 and was released in 2007,[15] also took inspiration from Kill Switch, which Uncharted's lead designers Evan Wells and Amy Hennig credited as inspiration for the game's cover system.[16] Other examples of shooters that featured Kill Switch-inspired cover systems include the 2005 third-person shooter CT Special Forces: Fire for Effect,[17] and the 2006 games Vegas,[18] a first person shooter released in the same month as Gears of War,[19] and Liberation, an isometric shoot 'em up released a month before Gears of War.[3]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/killswitch/498645p1.html|title=kill.switch|website=GameSpy|accessdate=June 30, 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|author= Craig Harris |url=http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/552/552995p1.html |title=IGN kill.switch Review |publisher=Gameboy.ign.com |date=2004-10-01 |accessdate=2011-07-06}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|author=Brian Ashcraft|url=http://kotaku.com/5452654/how-cover-shaped-gamings-last-decade|title=How Cover Shaped Gaming's Last Decade|publisher=Kotaku|date=January 20, 2010|accessdate=2011-03-26}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.planetxbox360.com/article_5757/Did_Gears_of_War_Innovate_the_Cover_System|website=Planet Xbox 360|first=Stuart|last=Lindsay|title=Did Gears of War Innovate the Cover System|date=2009-12-02|accessdate=2009-12-12|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216030903/http://www.planetxbox360.com/article_5757/Did_Gears_of_War_Innovate_the_Cover_System|archivedate=February 16, 2009}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.play-mag.co.uk/opinion/why-vanquish-will-make-gears-of-war-obsolete/|title=Why Vanquish will make Gears Of War obsolete|website=Play|date=July 19, 2010|accessdate=June 30, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox/914862-killswitch/index.html |title=kill.switch for Xbox |publisher=GameRankings |date=2003-10-28 |accessdate=2011-07-06}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=Gerstmann |first=Jeff |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/killswitch/review.html |title=kill.switch Review, kill.switch PlayStation 2 Review |publisher=GameSpot.com |date=2003-10-28 |accessdate=2011-07-06}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/kill_switch_ps2_review |title=kill.switch -
