Mine will probably go to "Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball" on Xbox. I got into paintball this past year and went from playing in backyards when I started to doing my first 3-man tournament just a couple weeks back. (We had 3rd of 14, open class) I like to think I have a pretty good feel for the sport and know what a videogame representation of it should play like. I'll be damned if WXP didn't nail it with this game.
The single-player starts out a bit easy. Probably so most people can get used to running from bunker to bunker. I mean your first guns are Tippmanns and everything so you they don't just throw you to the wolves against Karnivors, DM5, Pimp Kit, etc. Anyway, as career mode advances, you can recruit new players for each season, spend your own experience points on your players' abilities, and change ALL your gear from the gun you shoot to the clothes you wear. They have so much stuff from the biggest names in paintball that I'm blown away. I mean there's like 15 different pairs of SHOES you can buy and wear. Your teammates also have attributes that vary and help you make decisions of what kind of team you want to put together. Do you want a really aggressive player with great speed to play for you? What position? Or do you want somebody more defensive with great marker skill? The options are pretty wide open.
Anyway, Xbox LIVE play is really great though. The other players I've been against so far play it just like real paintball. Hang out too far and you'll get gogged. Its amazingly like the real thing. I haven't been on it too much because of Halo 2, but when I do play its a lot of fun.
There's my pic. Your turn!
