  • Summary: Grab your stick and go head-to-head in Pool Party for the Nintendo Wii system. With 13 different types of pool, including 9-Ball, 8-Ball, Rotation, Black Jack and Snooker, there’s a game of billiards to satisfy any pool shark where you will be hustlin’ pros in dive bars, honky-tonks, mansionsions and even yachts. Pool Party includes competitors with intelligent AI and tables with real-world physics. Rack ‘em up! [SouthPeak Interactive] Collapse

  1. Graphics suck, and so does the sound. To play the game successfully, you will have to practice a lot in advance.
  2. In small doses, Pool Party is capable of providing some entertainment, but marathon single-player sessions just seem pointless. Playing against another human opponent is the better way to go, and it extends the playability significantly.
  3. Pool Party, though, with its obfuscated control scheme, obscuring camera angles, and generally unfriendly interface, leaves a lot to be desired.
  4. A miserable, awkward and unsatisfying excuse for a pool game. [Oct 2008, p.85]
