    A believable virtual version of the original sport that should keep you entertained for a decent amount of hours.

    It's hard to deny the value of buying a pool game on Vita and getting its PlayStation 3 counterpart as an added bonus. And graphically, Hustle Kings looks really nice. So despite the odd musical choices, spooky floating cue, bad connectivity, and annoying precision camera, Hustle Kings is still a good game.

    No doubt a niche offering, but it does what it sets out to do really well and is perfectly suited to on-the-go gaming sessions.

    It lends itself perfectly to the kind of gaming which is most popular on handhelds - short bursts of easily accessible gameplay with uncomplicated controls. The multiplayer systems are great and Cross Play works wonderfully...It's a shame that the additional game modes, which arrived as DLC on the PS3 version, aren't in there from the start but this is affordable enough that optional DLC isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Hustle Kings' controls are a little too sensitive, though the touch controls are nice. Playing pool in real life is much more fun however, as this game lacks atmosphere.

    Best billiards game I have ever played. They must of added button and stick control and now is a lot of fun. The demo was touch screen onlyBest billiards game I have ever played. They must of added button and stick control and now is a lot of fun. The demo was touch screen only and it was terrible. The basic game is a lot of fun with 9 or 8 ball. Trick shots are NOT fun. Really need pin point precision and a lot of luck even on the earlier trick shots. Weirdly there are quite a few online trophies and online is dead. Other than that the game is worth the cheap price and will keep you occupied for hours.… Full Review »
