Digital Paint Paintball 2
Game Description
Experience the Thrills of an Intense Paintball Match!
If
you’ve ever played a paintball simulation, then the Digital Paint
Paintball 2 controls will take you by surprise. The downfall of so many
paintball simulations has been an absolute adherence to realism. The
problem with that is that a paintball simulation is, by its nature, a
first person shooter. So almost every gamer has developed habits and
expectations for this style, and although the simulation may be correct
technically, it doesn’t always feel that way, and perception is reality.
Quake Meets Paintball
Digital
Paint Paintball 2 succeeds where so many other paintball games fail: it
achieves a balance between realism and fun. The game uses fast-paced
arcade-style controls, and this allows you to jump, dodge and achieve
speeds that aren’t “realistic.” This lack of realism, however, is the
beauty of the game. When we read the developer making a comparison to
Quake, we scoffed a bit, but then, we tried it, and we realized it
wasn’t only true, it was pure genius.
How It Surpasses the Original Paintball
Paintball by Digital
Paint was a great idea. Paintball 2 is the realization of that idea. The
movement is smooth, and it has correct ballistics. Anyone who has fired
a real paintball will appreciate how the balls fire to the right of the
target (or to the left, if the shooter is left-handed). Like the last
version, Paintball 2 plays extremely well on older systems. What’s new
this time around, however, are the optional hi-res textures, which make
the game far more attractive for those with the rig to handle it.
Sound Snippets Are a Glorious Addition
Sound
snippets are brief sound files triggered by certain events, such as a
kill. There are a series of built-in snippets, and players can import
custom snippets. The files are extremely small, so when playing a
multiplayer game, they download behind the scenes without disrupting
play. Snippets range from sound effects to music to famous quotes from
movies and cartoons, and they really broaden the experience.
Awesome Online Experience
Digital
Paint Paintball 2 includes both a client and a server. The server can
host multiple players on a local machine, on a LAN or on the Internet.
Most players won’t even need to set up their own server, however, since
there are plenty of active servers that you can find right on the
Digital Paint website. If you immerse yourself in the game, then there
is an awesome experience awaiting you as you join a team and perhaps
work your way up the leaderboard for that server.
An Alternative to the Violence
First
person shooters are by nature violent, and they are becoming
increasingly so. This is cause for concern for some parents, and for
them, Paintball 2 is a nice alternative. It is an opportunity for their
children to experience what’s great about the FPS style without having
to deal with all the violence and language (although the online
experience may vary).
