Editorial Review

If you’ve always fantasized about shooting paintballs at your television screen, here is the perfect game for you. And even if you haven’t it’s still an awful lot of fun. No gaming console is necessary as you simply plug the gun into your television’s AV outlets and play eight different levels of paintball including battles in the forest, field, and a military fortress. If you’re looking for an X-Box level of graphics, you won’t find it here but the art is serviceable and the gun is more responsive than you might expect. We found it simple to set up the equipment, easy to follow the included directions on getting a game started, and plenty of fun engaging in battle. And after you’re done your TV screen will be refreshingly paint-free. --Charlie Williams

4.0 out of 5 stars Mission Paintball is wicked fun, October 29, 2004

So I have played paintball for acouple years. I have tried out the weak PC and console 1st person shooter paintball games and been majorly disappointed. (can't wait for Greg Hasting's game though) This Plug n Play game is much better. The working bolt action, the whole hide/attack time crisis like game play, its pretty fricken kewl. Granted it doesn't come near playing the real thing, but it is a nice filler. One bummer...can't be used on a Plasma, HD, or Projection TV. Overall though, well worth the $40 I paid for it.

We got this today and can't use it because we have LCD screens. It might be a great toy but we have no way of knowing. I gave it one star because I had to give it something but this is meaningless - sorry:)

Unfortunately when we ordered this there was no mention of the basic requirements. So for the benefit of others here are the requirements copied from the instruction we downloaded from Harbro
* TV or VCR with AV input. RF adapter required if TV has no AV input. Or, you may use the AV input on a VCR that's connected to your TV.
* Standard glass screen TV only. Not for use with Projection, LCD, High Definition, or Flat Screen (Plasma) TV.
IMPORTANT: You cannot play this game through a cable box or satellite hookup. Game must be connected directly to the TV or VCR.

I hope others are having fun with this toy and that this "review" will prevent people with non-glass TV screen from making the same mistake we made.

This was fairly easy to set-up and my 8 yr old got into it right away. If you're knowledgable about paintball...you'll see that there's not too much gameplay options. Its simple enough to work well. There aren't any good paintball simulation games and this is quite realistic because the actual gun even has a "hopper" and "CO2 tank" and the simulation has recoil and sound. Not too shabby for about thirty bucks.
