Looking through the reviews for this game, one thing seems very clear. Almost no one is keeping in mind the fact that this isn't Ubisoft's next big FPS release, this is the paintball equivalent of NBA2k9 or a new Madden. It's not a groundbreaking FPS, it's continuation of a sports series. Just like any other sports game, if you aren't in to the sport, you probably won't get much out of the game. None the less, it doesn't do a bad job at all in the FPS category if you're ready to apply the rules of paintball to your normal sprint and mash the trigger routine that so many people enjoy. Graphics aren't so hot and there're no groundbreaking improvements, but what could they really add? As for the people complaining about the AI, try playing online. It's a paintball game, how much could the singleplayer offer anyway?

-If you like paintball, go for it.
-If you have any interest in the sport, check it out, it might be some insight.
-If you just want to try a shooter that's a little different, it's not a bad rent.

If you played greg hastings max a couple years ago then you might as well wait till the new greg hastings is out. This game is only worth a rent. Not all of this game is bad though. Let me break it down for you.

Pros:
Good graphics
Realistic paintball physics
Plenty of single player tournaments
Double trigger shooting is a neat idea

Cons:
Clunky Controls
Snapping is aweful
AI is stupid
Needs more gear
No one plays online anymore
Menu music sucks
The characters repeat the same stupid things over and over

Lets start with the pros. The graphics are pretty good. Their not the best but their better than alot of other games out there. I love the blur effect they put on the paintballs. Its really awesome when you break (start) and you just see tons of paintballs flying at you like arrows off of 300. The physics are really good to. When you shoot a bunker it actually caves in to the paintball like inflatable bunkers do. There is plenty of single player to keep you occupied for hours. This game has a feature of double triggers which you press RB and RT to shoot faster. Ok, Now for the cons. The controls are very clunky. If you are running near a bunker you can press "A" to slide into it or if your near none then you will dive. When you try to dive into a snake it will slide, in which you will not have time to prone so you get shot. So dont slide. It also takes about 3 seconds to go prone. That gives you 3 seconds to get shot. Not cool. The AI is very stupid. You tell them to go to a certan bunker and the eventually end up in the one your in. They dont even try to relocate themselves, they just stay there. No one plays online anymore which is the whole reason i got the game. After you beat all the tournaments there really is nothing to do. The characters are awlays shouting "YEAH" or "AWESOME"... it would be "AWESOME" if they would just shut up. This game could have been more. So for everyone who plays games or/and paintballs, I reccommend a rent.

This game by far is the best paintball game by far i am a paintball player of 4 years and i feel they did in excellent job with the features the only bad things i saw wrong with the game were

1.lack of equipment(guns hoppers ect)
2.lack of Tornys /woods ball could have been alot more in dept and longer.
3. a big on i saw is the hitting a target i mean i would shot a another player and it would take me a good 50 60 shots to get him out.

other then those the game is great and fun to play i would give this game a 6.8 out of 10
