| Review: |
I recently visited Intense Paintball with friends and had a blast. The paint prices were very cheap. The proshop which is right at the field has a whole bunch of stuff, hoppers, jerseys, masks, guns etc. They have an indoor speedball field and a field that goes diagnolly to the right. They also have an outdoor field. The speedball field didn't have the greatest lighting, (I think some idiot shot them out in the past.) The owner is very knowledgeable. The lady at the front desk was generous. The rules were enforced properly which was great. They had good refreshments.
All in all, Excellent.
Bad: Lighting in the speedball field, but again I think someone shot them out.
Rating between 9-10. |

| Review: |
I have recently played at Intense paintball in canton and it was great.I have also played at Paintball Village Synergy,and Splater park.I personaly think that Intense paintball was a more enjoyable experence.The staff was very nice and helpful.Also the refs were very nice and were good at refing and made sure that the rules were folowed.The prices were lower then some places.The proshop there was stocked and had many different paintball guns,accesories,clothes and other idems.Intense Paintball has two indoor feilds and one outdoor feild.One indoor feild is airball and the other is hyberball. |

| Review: |
When I was young and played quite a bit there was no place to go during the winter. All you could do is day dream about playing paintball for 5 months out of the year. I am very glad to have an indoor paintball field on my way home from work. Dan the owner and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about the paintball, equipment, and safety.
I have read a lot of reviews where people talked about how rude these people are. I have seen this rudeness first hand when people do really stupid and unsafe things (like taking their mask off during a game). Yes they have young people playing paintball there, and yes they take their rules to a bit of the extreme side. That's one of the things I admire about them. The last two things I want are: a kid to take my eye out because they do not know/care about being safe, or a paintball exiting my barrel to do serious damage to someone (especially if it could have been prevented by proper safety measures). After getting to know Dan's wife (the lady behind the counter) I found she is very talkative and friendly
Two of the three fields are indoor, with no rainfall the bunkers do get covered with paint. So plan ahead and do not wear your best Sunday clothes.
I remember the first time I played there (years ago) being upset because I had to turn the velocity on my marker down to 260fps. After playing there a few times I don't mind that either. Being indoor hyper and air ball you tend to be getting hit close enough it seems like 300 or more fps to me.
Bottom line is Intense Paintball is a fun place to go play, and the prices are fair. What the field really needs is more paintballers, so I hope to see you there. |

FIRST REVIEW(I only get my tank filled, I didn't play. I'll update after I play Friday)
I walk in, there are kids everywhere! I'm a kid but, most of them looked like they were clueless. And, it was the day after Christmas event. New electric spyders everywhere! I found that funny.
Only one or two people, out of a dozen or so, had barrel socks on, tanks were on, hoppers on, and I wouldn't be surprised if their safeties weren't on. I didn't feel safe in there not having my mask on.
Out of the 3 staff I talked to, 2 were just meh. Didn't seem happy to be there. The one guy who filled my tank though was nice. He complimented me on my tank cover.
I didn't see any refs on the field. That surprised me.
The fields looked pretty clean, could barely see though. The airball field was dark, barely any lights. They were playing on the other field though, which seemed lit better. I'm guessing they were saving power and had it so you could just see where to go not to run into a bunker.
Overall, I don't think I've been to a worse field. I hope that there is more order on New Years Day. I hope I can give this field a better review after I play Friday.
---------------
UPDATE - 1/1/10
Better than I first though. I will definitely be going back. Only place in NE Ohio to play indoors, I think the only 2 other indoor fields in OH are in Cincinnati and Toledo.
What was the same:
Lighting on one field was the same, not too bad when you're playing though.
Field was pretty clean like I said, still could have used a bit of cleaning though.
What was different:
Safety was better than I thought before. Glad, that is so.
Staff seemed a bit more helpful, guess it was just one of those days nobody wanted to be there.

| Review: |
I traveled three hours from pennsylvania to ohio because they were the only file dholding an event that day. it ws worth th trip. the two refs we had were fair and alert. the owner was a great guy, we talked for a while and he was very appriciative. the two young ladies behind the counter were very nice and efficient. some places take thier time but they filledmy ai up and gt me back in the game in a timely fasion. thefiled is small but fun. they are in the middle of town, so they made due with what they had, and they pulled it off. me and my wife had a blast. they has door prizes and competive prices. didnt get to play on the indoor field but i wanted to see it and the refs took the time to show it. i am going to go back to this field becuase they know what they are doing. To the owner and employees of intense paintball- well done |

| Review: |
This was the first time in a few years that I have been to Intense, as I am getting back into the game. Not much has changed except the airball field and hyperball field have been switched. All in all, my experience was very good, just like every other time I have been here. I kind of hate pbreview sometimes, because the only people that write reviews anymore are generally people that didn't like it. Evey time I get on here I see people complaining about paint prices and safety rules and everything. If you are used to buying crap paint at Wal Mart for 20 bucks and playing ball in your backyard, then your going to be mad when you have to pay real prices for real paint and follow some rules. I think Dan and his family get a bad wrap because people that have good experiences go home and just for get about it. The only ones that review are mad because they want paint for $20 a case and don't like it when they get yelled at for breaking rules. Seriously, how hard is it to keep your mask and barrel cover on? In short, I had a great experience at Intense just like every other time I have gone there. |

| Review: |
I will make this as short and simple as possible. The refs and employees are rude, why this is I have nooo idea. They did however help me in fixing my gun and installing a new board. The fields obviously suck but if you want to get back at the employees for being so rude, just enter a tourney their team is in. I don't know which is worse their fields or their factory team haha, sorry its just the truth. Every time I heard them cursing around little kids there i gave them an extra shot in the back when i bunkered them. |

| Review: |
The safety rules were normal and the staff was great and the owner was very helpful. The field is mulch so theres not much slideing for smaller groups the fields can be seperated the ref was great and very informative.
My Only discrepency i had with the place was that some of the bunkers were just caked with paint. But other than that I will most likely be visiting this field again. |

| Review: |
I played at this field 3 times and this is what I think of the field.I'll start off with the negatives. They are to strict on rules and the lady their is mean. I understtand safety is important but one time I brought my 23 year old cousin and he forgot his barrel cover and the ref grabbed him and dragged him back on the field and yelled BARREL COVER SIR!!! I think that was way out of hand for them to do that. Also the reffing sucks. I had a private party and hired 2 refs and the one left half way through the party. It's pretty pricy after a day of paintball you spend about $50. The positives are that the field has a pretty nice pro shop and the owner dan shiring is a very nice guy who always tries to answer your questions and help you if your having problems with your equiptment. Also,this field has 2 indoor fields and an outdoor field the indoor field is great for winter but the lighting sucks. All in all it's an ok place to play but if you go their prepare to hear alot of rules and to be yelled at. This is my honest opinion and i'm not trying to trash this fields reputation in any way. |

| Review: |
I used to play at this field for around 6 months. At first i liked this field and then it turned. The people that own it seemed stuck up and dont seem to really care about their customers. I feel that their prices are high for what you get. Their field is of poor quality. first off the field is small. the bedding is all mulch so you cant slide. the mulch itself is horrible because of all of the old paint mixed in with it. The ceiling is dripping water constantly. every 20 minutes or so the bunkers had to be reaired because you couldnt use some of the bunkers durring play. their outdoor field i only played once and it was a hyperball field and i only like airball. they're employees are pretty nice. if you ask them to they will help and a few will give you pointers for play. all in all i would suggest playing in the rain or snow.
