A game that can be taken that extra mile.

This is definitely a game I enjoyed. Maybe thats because I like to play paintball. Now, no game-no matter how realistic-will EVER replace the real thing, but NPPLCP-09 is a good attempt.
For the Wii, it definitely mimics the real thing very well, with tilting the remote to the side to look around bunkers, snap shooting, sliding, crawling, diving, all aspects of the real thing are there. As good as this game is I think it can be taken that extra mile. It really needs to have detailed custom character creator, like some of the old Tony Hawk games. That way you can put yourself right in the game, without being limited to selecting a handful of faces, skills, team colors, etc. Its also a little too hard to earn skill points and I think the field creator could be simplified a little, not thats its VERY versatile as is.
I know its NPPL but I really wanted to see a woods field. There are plenty of fields that would love to be featured in a video game, such as Oklahoma D-Day, The Fun Farm, Conders, Open Range, Asylum, and MANY others all over the country. After all, paintball was born in the woods. Maybe if this game gains enough popularity other leagues like XPSL will join in and the game could simply be called "Championship Paintball 2010." (hint-hint game makers) The game of paintball is riddled with competition of coarse, but paintball is meant to be just as entertaining as it is competitive. So lets see some woodsball, huh?
I give this game an 8/10. If you don't have an indoor field near you, you may want to buy this game for the cold winter months, or Wednesday night anytime of the year! This verson of NPPLCP may not become your personal favorite shooter, but its definately worth your time, even if you play alot in real life!
