I'm not sure what I was expecting, but still - I was surprised that this game really is about competitive paintball. I don't follow or know much about paintball to be honest, although I have played a few times. Still. This game really feels like a sports game in the traditional sense. There are real players (I've assumed), it's about a tournament (and making your way up/through the brackets) with different levels of leagues and also different modes of play - which I presume correspond with the standard competitive modes. So, the overall structure is interesting - or at least was novel to me in the sense that I've never really thought about pro paintball, and now I feel like I know a little bit. As for the game itself, I won't be returning to it - it's a fast-paced FPS game on the DS and I think it's clear that both of these things don't go well together. FPS is fine, the pace not so much. Or perhaps it's my own fault for playing on a bigger DS that's decidedly more uncomfortable for these things?
