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.
