    Q-Ball does a good job of "simming" pool for professional players, and thereby seems more real then "Real."

    This is a good pool game with lots to offer -- but it'll likely bore players pretty quickly.

    If you're a console pool shark, this one is worth picking up, but it doesn't do anything to distinguish itself from other recent billiards efforts.

    It's the best pool title you can get on any system right now... In the end, the question you have to ask yourself is, will I really spend enough time with this game to warrant a $50 purchase?

    It's fine for now, but you better love pool or be ready to spend time learning 'english' all over again.

    If you're expecting more than just a straightforward simulation, however, Q-Ball isn't going to do the trick.

    I really wanted to like this game. I just can’t. The game feels rushed and is totally uninspiring.
