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.

Difficult to recommend despite its points of quality, because its points of...well, weirdness...are so prominent.

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

It has a very in depth tutorial section with a real teacher helping you learn many ways of playing and different tricks to do. Ofcourse this feels a bit harder to do in a game than possibly real life but at least it tried. You can unlock new opponents and pool cues by winning matches. Problem is when you win a match there's almost a roulette drawing so the next "mode" you play in the tournament is different. There is a frozen shot mode which I found to probably be the most enjoyable part of this game but even then it's not saving the sinking ship. The music is good and has a track or two that slaps. Overall, I have yet to find a pool game that feels "right" for me, but maybe as I play more of the ones on the PS2 I will find one.

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.

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?

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

If you're so far from a pool table that you can't even contemplate playing a game, or if you're that allergic to actually standing up while you play, I suppose this would have a place in your game library, but other than that, I don't honestly see the point.

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