XBOX - Greg Hasting's Tournament Paintball
I played with a bunch of my fellow LCVG gamers last night. This game is very addictive and is a lot better than I thought. The single player is actually very good. The AI is tricky at times and will change spots when peeking around objects with no noticible timing pattern and charge and flank especially when your team is low on players.
The pre and post game stats/live interface is very clean and well arranged.
The graphics were alot better than I would have thought for a "budget" title.
The variation in the equipment characteristics are noticible and effect your gameplay (i.e.: You can see the change in the load speed of the hoppers as well as the speed and trajectory of the paintballs).
There are some unique controls for an FPS that really make this game shine. Turbo running, diving, snaping (peeking), changing gun hands.
The host controls have some depth to them as well. I really like the fact that as the host you can turn off cheating especially if your playing with seasoned veterans that have mastered the timing of the cheat meter. Another nice host option is limiting the number shots allowed.
Even when your out and waiting for your match to end the game keeps you entertained by allowing you to smoothly free roam the entire playing field very quickly.
I normally don't hype a game but I can see that this title may have gotten lost in Halo & GR2's wake. Unfortunately alot of people will just pass this game up thinking it's just another simple FPS with paintballs instead of bullets. The unique elements of play inherent in paintball and the control scheme really make this game shine.
I highly recommend this game. For those who have it, I'd love to hear your opinions.
