Hardcore paintball fans that want to bring the sport to their home gaming consoles: this is your game. Activision has done a decent job bringing the feel of real-life paintball to home consoles with NPPL Championship Paintball 2009. But, is it enough to captivate the casual paintball fan or the gamer looking to lose him or her self in an immersive first-person shooter? NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 is easy to dive right into, all you'll need to do is select a character from a list of real-life professional paintballers, each with his own base attribute package, choose your team and dive right in. You'll want to jump into Career Mode, where you'll begin your career as a lowly Division 2 competitor with standard equipment, but after winning a few tournaments you'll have plenty of points to spend on upgrading your gear and attributes.Read full review
well NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 is a great game in my opionion. i love the sport, but rarely get to play it in real life. this game gives me the opportunity to play whenever I want! i think the double trigger with the rt and rb was a great idea. i couldnt figure out how to crouch or go prone other than sliding or diving. oh well, its not that big of a deal because i do alot of running around. its pretty easy throughout the career mode. nobody plays on xbox live though :( with the exception of about six 10 year olds haha. anyway...good game in my opinion.
great game! I love it...but then again, I love paintball. if you are anything less than a paintball enthusiast however, I would definately not recommend this game, as "campaign mode," (which is essentially a series of tournaments) can get pretty monotonous. There are a few modes though, where you can play speedball or woodsball, and the woodsball portion is a little more entertaining. this is probably because there's more places to hide, and the games last longer than the speedbal 3 minutes. I see this being a good online multiplayer game, but I'm not aware of many who have purchased this game. Graphics in the game are pretty good, but you can tell they skimped in certain areas e.g. character animation (looks choppy) and gun animation (bolts don't move, etc.)
Disclaimer: If you are not a fan of paintball in real life, this game will probably not appetize your hunger for a different genre of a first person shooter. This game is a lot of fun to play, with a variety of skills and an array of unlockable equipment. The only downside of this game is the graphics, and repetitiveness. The whole audio part of this game is pretty bad also. The A.I. is very easy to defeat even on the hardest difficulty. I personally love the game, it's paintball. If you want a change from the regular Army First Person Shooter, this is your game.
Good game IF you enjoy the sport. I did like the way the markers functioned and the double trigger feature and the snapping, but the leaning and the diving and sliding were a bit rough and could have used some improvement. This games graphics are much better than Greg Hastings paintball 2 but Greg Hastings runs a lot smoother and the movements feel more realistic, This game is a good game don't get me wrong but it still gets shot out of the water by Greg Hastings paintball 2.
I bought this game for my sons, ages 13 & 10, they liked it. My 13-year-old said it wasn't as good as he expected, but that he still enjoys playing it. He is more of a racing kind of player, but my 10-year-old who plays more of this type of game absolutely loves it!! All around I'd say it is a great game for the money, if bought for the right kind of player. Both my husband and I also play this game, he says it's ok...I really like it!! So, ultimately, I think if you like "shooter" games or just paintball in general, you will like this game.
this is a pretty good game. great for the hardcore paintballer but if your just looking for a good first person shooter,i wouldnt suggest it. its pretty cool that you can create your own field. the soundtrack for this game could be a lot better, the music is just kind of "plain" so i would suggest listening to your ipod while playing. the voice acting for this game is kinda corny too. overall this game is pretty decent and entertaining enough to keep anyone playing 7/10
This game has all the makings of a classic game. This game will keep you on the edge of your seat when playing. Choose and create your team by choosing people. Unlimited choices for you team. Choose from multiple guns, tanks, masks, barrels, shoes, pants, shirt, and even how many pods you can carry! When you put it all together, you can create and unbeatable team. Choose from paintball courses or woods ball. Don't like any of the courses? CREATE YOUR OWN! Create your dream course and show it off on Xbox Live. What I most liked about this game is that its fast pace and rounds are short. So you don't have to wait around looking for people to shoot. Also you can play dirty. If you get shot you have a chance to get the paint off of you, but if you get caught you will be taken out of the game. I would recommend this in you Xbox 360 library if you are a die hard paintball fan or just love 1st person shooters.Read full review

great game good way to learn a little about NPPL such as rule for play and the regulations. by regulations i mean the size of the field and how many bunkers are on diffrent fields and things like that. in also give u tips on real life play and tells u things to do so u can be like the pros. while in career mode u learn how to build ur own team, and how and what certain players do. which then u can learn strategy and start designing ur own breakout plans. so like i said great game i absolutley liove it
