    I love pool, and in my pool fantasy i am the ass kicking pool player who has the crowds ohhing and ahhing my everyshot. I have an opponent whos sitting in his chair watching me pocket ball after ball and hes got a pissed off look on his face cause he knows hes not getting back at the table. Isn't that what a pool game should be. I know its only 10 bucks and the graphics are great as I love pool, and in my pool fantasy i am the ass kicking pool player who has the crowds ohhing and ahhing my everyshot.

Isn't that what a pool game should be. I know its only 10 bucks and the graphics are great as far as whats there but your in completely empty bars? If they took what they did here and fleshed it out with a more complete game it could be the best pool game ever as it is its just like all the other good ones before it, but with better graphics.… Expand

    Graphically the game is near perfect - certainly very highly commended given its low price. Controls are good, although in analog mode taking shots feels somewhat like guesswork. Where the game falls down, though, is the sense of involvement - or lack of it. Offline or online you don't really feel as if you're having fun.

Offline or online you don't really feel as if you're having fun. Once you've started an online game there is no way to interact with an opponent, so it all feels a bit remote, clinical, cold. This probably isn't helped by having no sounds other than music (if you want it) and FX - no applause for good shots, gasps at near misses etc.… Expand

    Hustle Kings is one of the most enjoyable and sizeable PSN games in a long time, and quite possibly the finest pool or billiards replication ever committed to a videogame.

    Hustle Kings is an easy to pick up pool title accessible to the masses on PSN. Despite a few shortcomings, it'll keep fans entertained for some time to come. It is an excellent virtual pool game, nothing more, nothing less.

    Hustle Kings is a nice game, but nothing more than that. You can have a great time by playing this game, but of course it's much more fun to play pool for real.
