| ar_c's Full Review: Ultimate Paintball for Game Boy Color |
When I saw 20 of these on a shelf marked down to 50 cents, I should have seen that as a good indicator of the quality of the game -- I didn't and bought it anyway.
The game was not as intuitive to play as it could have been, the graphics were poor, and it was difficult to navigate the playing fields.
BASIC GAME PLAY:
* Choose your team from the computer players.
* Equip your players with a variety of different paintball guns.
* Choose a field to play on.
* The computer places the men for you in their starting position.
* Control your team players (one at a time - the rest are controlled by the computer) during the fight.
* Team with most players at the end is the winner
PROBLEMS:
* All weapons seem to work the same - no difference in rate of fire or accuracy.
* Background soundtrack is annoying
* Even with the "radar screen" inset, it is difficult to move around the playing field.
* Difficult to identify players - you can easily shoot your own player.
* Poor graphics.
SUMARY:
This is one game to stay away from. If you want to experience paintball, go out to a field.
