Greg Hastings Paintball 2
was released on the Xbox 360 and Wii, this past Tuesday(9-28-10). The game has a MSRP of just $39.99 on both systems.
This "Quick Brew Preview" is for the Wii version of Greg Hastings Paintball 2 (GHP2).
Quick Brew Info
The tutorial is the first option the game gives players, but you can choose to skip the tutorial if you don't want to go through it. I would suggest playing through it though, as it will give you a chance to learn what buttons and motion controls do certain actions in the game.
After I played through the tutorial, I selected my team and played a few rounds of single-player Woodsball. While playing, I used the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls; and I am still learning the controls, as there is a lot of depth to them.
You can lean in-and-out of cover, switch which hand you carry the paintball gun in, even slide and dive(yes, two separate actions) behind cover on the paintball fields.
Greg Hastings Paintball 2 for the Wii, offers five controller options:
GHP2 seems to be offering quite a bit of features, and I will be covering more of the game in the next few days/weeks. If anybody has anything specific you would like to know about the Wii version, leave a comment or send me an email to Scott@CoffeewithGames.com, and I will do my best to answer it.

Caffeinated Thoughts
I believe Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is the first Wii FPS type game, to offer Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and GameCube Controller control options(if anybody can think of another Wii FPS that does, leave a comment).
I thought it was interesting to see what happened when I tried to "wiping off" being hit by a paintball, and how the game discourages cheating.
