Simplistic, annoying, and suffers from quirky controls and poor audio. It's also a hell of a lot of fun to play.
And the best part about Maximum Pool? ONLINE baby! Online play supports all games in Maximum Pool, both traditional and "maximum" hidden games.
All in all I really enjoyed Maximum Pool, far more than the offerings provided in the last couple of years. It's easy, fun, and online. What more do you need to know?
If you can muscle your way through the shoddy menus and the slow movements you'll find a pool game that plays online well.
It's simplistic and mechanical, and just doesn't deliver the feel of a smoky pool hall where skill rules out over luck.
Definitely not a "maximum" of anything, dismally low number of gameplay options, pretty but useless opponents, oversimplified cue-stick interaction, and way-sensitive controls.
But even with the $29.95 price tag, I can't recommend a purchase of this title. There are just too many good Dreamcast games out this holiday to worry about this one.

Summary Maximum Pool's interface can prove to be very cumbersome, but if you can learn to tolerate how it plays, it's a great deal.
