  • Summary: You arrive penniless on an idyllic South Pacific Desert Island, as it just so happens scattered around the beach an in varous huts (and some hidden locations) there are a variety of Pool tables and sub games to pass the time. On the beach sheltered under the palm trees there is a practice table where you can enhance your skills and what the waves rolling in. When you feel you ar good enough you can enter the Competition Hut and start climbing the Championship ladder. There are 11 sets of pool rules and no less than 30 different computer opponents for you to challenge. All represented by highly detailed charismatic animated hands that gesture their feelings as the games progress. [Ignition Entertainment]… Expand

    For console owners used to having to fiddle with power sliders in order to orchestrate their shots, it brings a nigh-on edible element of tangibility to the experience... An accomplished bundle. [May 2004, p.109]

    The challenges offered in terms of beating your opponents were well tapered; the more you play the better you get and winning some dosh and opening the sub games, which were equally enjoyable, really topped the experience.
  3. Computer and Video Games
    65
    Then there's the dodgy AI that produces identical breaks if you play the same character again, and super-aggressive play from the big boys with not even a nod to a safety game. All of which adds up to a rushed and amateurish job, albeit one that's surprisingly addictive.
