  1. A better-than-expected billiards and snooker sim can be found under the somewhat sleezy, “Skinemax” softcore wrapping.
  2. There isn't much to get excited about with Pocket Pool. Not even the models and their cheesy videos are likely to scintillate you.
  3. Pocket Pool has many problematic areas. If you are fan of pool games, there are simply much better options available.
  4. You can disrupt the opponent while they “think” about their shot – it’s a nice touch, but they “think” for several seconds before every shot, dragging the game to a crawl. The character portraits get in the way, and if you turn them off, your power meter goes away too.

    I've got to say, I've been greatly enjoying playing Pocket Pool this week (Target accidentally sold me a copy ahead of the street date.) I spend at least an hour a day playing Pocket Pool. None of my friends own a PSP, so I'm just playing Pocket Pool by myself, but it's still a blast. Expand

    the game is just bad. the physics are awful, a ball moving at an angle can bounce off the side at the wrong resulting angle, and momentum can be transfered perfectly from one ball to another. like the other reviews said, things don't make sense. not enough time was put into helping the gamer have fun. games made from movies are better than this game. don't waste your time (or money) on this, even for the pics.
