Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball

"If you can take the pain of the real thing.....This is the next best thing."

One day i was looking through a magazine when i stumbled onto an add that had Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball on it. It look pretty good for a paintball game. I went to Best Buy to get it and they had it on sell for 20 bucks. This is one of my best buys ever!!.

~^~Gameplay~^~ 9.6
This game is a First Person Shooter, but you don't kill any one. Its paintball. Its all speedball , every single field is speedball. There are alot of fields that you play tournements in. If you place you get some cash and some skill points. The cash lets you upgrade your gun and outfit and the skill points increase speed, accuracy, and some other things. You get to pick your team members that you want to play with. this game controls really good, but the one thing that made me mad was that there is no jump button!!!!

~^~Graphics~^~ 8.5
The graphics in this game are really well done. The guns and gun accessories look really cool and so do the players. The graphics arent the best ever on the xbox but that are better than alot of games. If you get shot in the face you see the paint splatter all over your mask.

~^~Story~^~ Theres a story?
If you like story driven games, turn away now. All the game is about is becoming the best team. This game is kind of like counter strike in a way. You and your partners go out and "kill" the bad guys, then a new round starts.

~^~Controls~^~ 9.7
The controls are near perfect, the only thing wrong with them is there is no jump button!! You can dive onto the ground but you cant jump!! you can lean around corners, peak above boxes, dive on to the ground, shoot, reload, run.... it all controls perfect.

~^~Sound~^~ 10
You can use custom soundtracks or you can listen to their music. The music they have on there is really good. It has one of my fav bands playing some good songs, Underoath. The sounds are very realistic. Paintball guns sound like paintball guns, getting hit sounds like getting hit, i guess. Sounds are very nicely done.

~^~Replay~^~ 9.4
Once you start playing you don't want to stop, You always want to earn some more cash for the next gun or hopper, or barrel. You will be coming back to this game for quite a while.

~^~ Rent Or Buy~^~
100% Buy dont Rent it unless you are not sure if you like FPS or paintball, but if you love either it is a must have!

~^~Overall~^~
I give this game a 9.6

This is one of the best games i played this year.
