Okay, so Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd on GBA is way more intense than you'd expect from a handheld paintball game. Right off the bat, you're diving into matches where one wrong move means getting splattered—no respawns, just pure, messy elimination. The controls take a second to get used to (peeking around corners feels clunky at first), but once you figure out the rhythm, it’s surprisingly tactical.

You’ve got a ton of gear to tweak—different markers, masks, even paint types—and yeah, some setups straight-up suck until you find what clicks. The AI isn’t dumb either; they’ll flank you if you camp too long. Best part? The fields actually matter. Woodsball maps force slow, sneaky plays, while speedball arenas turn into chaos real quick. Just don’t expect fancy graphics—this is pure GBA grit with a side of paint stains.

If you’re into methodical shooters where positioning beats reflexes, this one’s a weird little gem.
