Have you ever dreamed of playing Paintball on a desert island? If so, you should give 3D Paradise Paintball although strangely, there doesn't seem to be much paintballing involved.
3D Paradise Paintball allows you to play against other players within your web browser. Simply choose whether to play multiplayer or a single game. In addition, you can play against people in Facebook if you're invited to do so by another user. In single player mode, alien like plastic looking targets will pop up around you as you wade through sand and water to attack them. This isn't very hard and you can change weapon by scrolling up and down with your mouse wheel. The guns though all seem to be of the live ammunition type from machine guns to grenade launchers - not the safest kind of paintball you'll ever play!
The most fun is joining a multiplayer game where you run around blowing up other LAN based opponents. The surrounding graphics are excellent but the opponents themselves look like poor 3D aliens. You can take several hits - as can they - before they finally get "splatted" and as you run around you can pick up different bonuses such as run faster, walk on water, immortality etc. The problem is there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the game - if you were in teams it would be more fun but it's literally every man for himself with no instructions as to what you're really supposed to achieve other than blowing everyone away.
Despite the name, 3D Paradise Paintball has little to do with paintballing although it's still a decent attempt at a 3D POV shoot-em-up game.
