Considering this is one of the worst game series ever, let's hope that
this was the final one. After having changed the title of the last paintball
game in the shooter series to Ultimate Paintball Challenge, this one resumed
the infamous Extreme Paintbrawl title. In tournament mode you start with
$1500 to recruit your team and equip them with guns (aka "markers" in paintball
terminology), ammo, and cool shirts. As you progress through the game and win
more matches, you can buy bigger and better guns and upgrade your teammates'
stats. This new feature does add a bit of an RPG element to the paintball
experience, but it certainly can't save this title. This game has 12 dull-looking
levels ranging from a snowy winterscape to a theatre to an abandoned prison, only 1
character model for you and your enemies. It has dull in-game sound
effects which it tries to hide with a loud electric guitar music score.
Game types include capture the flag, eliminate, gauntlet, and center flag (which is
CTF with one flag in the middle). AI is as bad as in previous games and should be
called A.R. for Artificial Retardation. Also, in tournament mode, you have no way
to order your computer teammates, they just act on their own. |
