As an avid paintball player and gamer I can see both points of view. This game is as close to playing paintball as you can without playing the real thing. The problems come from the video game side of this. The game is a great game but because of very frequent load times, sub-par graphics, and repetitive game play the game gets boring quick. This game becomes repetitive from the lack of adrenaline the real sport brings. Another issue I had, that will not apply to gamers who do not play the sport, is that some of the equipment states were very badly set. Most of the markers did not get the rate of fire that the real marker has. Again overall it is a fun game but there were some details that make this game boring after a couple of days. The AI teammates were smarter than most AI in games and that helps a lot in 7vs7 matches, and the ability to create your own arenas really added to the game. This game is worth checking out if you are interested in the sport and it will help learn the regulations behind the game along with various equipment. Otherwise this game is not going to be enjoyable to you.

This game was a fantanstic, first person shooting game that in an intense scenario filled conquest to be the best paintballer in the world. I was skeptical at best that the game would be worth playing, but once I picked it up, I could not put it down! I recomened this game to go on the list of you gamers that have a game with a long wait on it. It will make the time fly by.

I thought the game was alright but it was just to easy. I played the whole career, and it didn't really get any harder. If you like paintball try it out, but I wouldn't recommend on buying it!

i found that this was not much if any improvement to Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball. GHTP was a great game butI was expecting a bigeer improvement over the years. I think that the online play would have really elevated the experience, but unfortuanately there was never more than 5 people in a 7 on 7 room. Also, I didn't see any actual star players, a step backwards if you ask me.

I got this game and sent it back 2 days later. The graphics are nothing to talk about, frequent loading, unrealistic fire rates (and more), and no one to play online with are only some of the game's downsides. The only good thing about this game is the maps. The maps are fun, and have much variety.

Graphics: Average for a ps3. Could have been much better

Sound: The paintball sounds sound real, but the music is annoying.

Playability: The first person is a little shaky, but once you get used to it, it's fine.

Multiplayer: I can't even rate this because there was no one online to play with.

Overall: 3.5

Good: The sounds are realistic, and the maps are good.

Bad: Unrealistic gear, lack of people online on multiplayer, NO OFFLINE CO-OP, shaky first-person, and frequent load times.

So pretty much, don't get this game unless you are a hardcore paintball game fan.

A couple things makes NPPL CHAMPIONSHIP PAINTBALL 2009 bad. Number 1 is the only thing you can do is either enter numerous tournaments, or play a a single match. Number 2 is that the graphics for that game were completly horrible for a game made in 2008. the face look like they've been smeared on a window. Number 3 is that you have no person locater to shoot paintballs at, so if you see a moving figure in the distance, you shoot.

I found myself wanting more from this title after playing it. The matches seem way too easy and short for a paintball game. Graphics needed a lot of work for a PS3 game, and odd ball moments like disinigrating players after being shot took away from the whole mood. And what's with the voice acting? Don't buy. Rent if your a fan.

I don't know why. I love paintball to heck, and yet this game makes me sick. I hate it. The only redeeming value is being able to customize your guy. That's why I hate this game.

I would not recommend this game to anyone. the graphics are horrible, the gameplay is even worse. Each one of the characters you chose from looks identical to the last. If you were to give me this game, I would hate you till the end of time.

This game would better be suited as an old PS1 title. The graphics are terrible and controls/movement is impossible. Do not rent, you will be disappointed.

I really wanted this one to be good, I really did. I love paintball and have really been looking forward to a good video game to play during the off season. Why, oh why did Activision have to choose THIS game to be the one they experiment on using a game engine from Autodesk?! Don't get me wrong, Autodesk is great...for drafting, but has no place in the video game market.

Let's find the problems with this one. For starters, there's no aim acceleration. You're either changing your aim at top speed or not at all. Is there any FPS out there that still does this? Then there's the fact that you spend twice (I'm not exaggerating) as much time looking at loading screens as you do playing. And then you have the gear list. Your first set of "new" gear that you can buy is all upgrades, and then a little ways in, you get to buy something the equivalent of a $20 Spyder clone. So much for upgrading.

Ok, let's find some good with this game. One, it's a paintball game. Two, it has no real players in it except for Dynasty doing the tutorials so there's no trademark infringements from that. Three, the graphics are very slightly better on the PS3 than the graphics for Greg Hastings Max'd on the PS2.

Don't bother!

Why did Sony or the developers let this game go out to PS3? Am I playing Psone or PS3???? Its a disgrace to paintball. Not cool. I tried it for a few rounds then turned it off and mailed it right back.

The game was alright. It was too easy and when you got into higher divisions it didn't get any harder.
