When I got to Ultrazone Sherman Oaks it took me a couple
of minutes to figure out where they were. It’s easy to identify the corner building
where they are located.
However, to get to the arena you go up to the top of an
open air mall with a beautiful porch area outside the arena overlooking the
shopping area below.
At first glance the inside looks like a relatively small
arcade. But once inside this arena is quite large and pretty unique.
The three bases are each housed in interesting structures
to mark red…
Blue…
And yellow…
But what is particularly interesting about this arena are
the various connectors between the bases. From a long tunnel stretching nearly
end to end…
To the reflective walls…
And mesh barriers…
This arena seems amazingly balanced considering the L
shape design. I went in for a game with a mix of players of all ages, but while
sitting in the briefing room my attention was drawn to a group of young guys in
their late teens or early twenties. One of them looked like Spicoli jumped
right off the movie screen and into this laser tag arena. They were the
quintessential stereotype of “California dudes” and they looked like they
typically owned this arena. So I knew this would be the group that would really
give me a good game. It didn’t take long before Spicoli was gunning for me and
calling in his friends for support, but I was on my game this round and not
only took the top spot myself (playing this game as Reptar), but I kept his
pack down so much that he was significantly lower than I could tell he was
accustomed to (I don’t know about his friends, but this guy playing hard was on
Surge).
So all in all this was a really enjoyable game because of
both the quality of the arena and the competition and I walked away feeling
like I had a genuine California tag experience.
One thing I know for sure is that New York weather was
nothing like this while I was away!
