= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball (Video Game)

This is a type of game where the fun factor increases as you play more and a lot more. At first, I felt the game play is a bit slow--due to not so good equipment/gears, the player skill levels, player's partner's levels, etc. Once you can improve some of these aspects, it becomes better to play.

In the singel mod game, you can play 19 tournaments in 20 locations, with 179 field layouts. The game claims having 145 pieces of licensed gear, 39 real life players with 14 Pro players. In Multiplayer mode it supports 14-player head-to-head.

It's VERY easy to learn. I've been playing plenty of FPS games (currently, Ghost Recon 2 and Halo 2) and controller setting is no different from the usual FPS setups. Aiming is a little different because the quality of your gun and equipment changes the accuracy, velocity and distance of shooting. No worries, it's still easy to hit targets. Targets (your opponents) wear nice, bright outfit. It's super easy to spot enemies unlike Ghost Recon2.

The tutorial takes you through the basics of getting started-moving, shooting, jump-diving, switching the gun from left hand to right hand, and refilling paint. In fact, you can skip the tutorial, b/c the first game itself is the tutorial. Once done with tutorial, you begin the tournaments. It's been pretty tough for me to get used to the game play. Part of it is that in the beginning, you have very little skills and amateur partners. With this combination, it's tough to beat good opponents. Once you win some tournaments, it gets more interesting. With the prize money, you can upgrade your gears and eventually get better partners. To improve and to gain better gun/gear is an incentive to play a lot of single player mode. I've played the multiplayer mode on Xbox live only once. The game that I was playing online teams up with other online player (as your partner) agaist your opponents. Perhaps because all of us online were strangers, communication was poor. No strategic decisions were made. We went around shooting. I could see that it'd be more fun to play with friends as your teammates. I wish more of my friends would get this game. It's a nice change of pace from playing recent FPS games (GR2 and Halo2). This is a good non-violent game for those reluctant to buy first person shooter games for your kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY AWESOME, November 25, 2004

i dont own this game personally but my neighbor has one and i played it at his house couple of times and i just became addicted. I, myself, do actually go paintballing 2 or 3 times a month. This game is very realastic to the real life of paintballing. At first, when you try it, u may not like it because it's hard to control ur aimings but you get used to it and it's easy. This game coming out is bascially the reason I'm getting a XBOX! PLUS you can play this game on XBOX LIVE which is awesome. buy this game and you wont regret it

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball (Video Game)

This game is a blast. The gameplay is groundbreaking (snap shooting left and right, overhead shooting, cheat meter...). If you don't believe me, check out the official reviews at teamxbox.com and ign.com. It received a higher score than major titles like "Call of Duty: Finest Hour."

It puts the fun back into video games. For parents looking for a title that relies on blood and gore to make it interesting, this is game non-violent. However, it doesn't mean your kid won't spend lots of time trying to beat the game though.

Thousands are playing on Xbox live, and it's only been out for a little over a week. Come join the fun.
