Has anyone played this budget title? I took a chance on it at a friends advice and I have not been disappointed, it is a surprisingly well crafted game for a $20 release & although some of the graphics do give away it's budget roots the actual gameplay is solid and the variety of tables, tweaks & sub-games have me absolutely addicted to it.
In particular the "crazy tables" & "Rocket" games are a blast to play, Crazy Tables are fairly self explanatory & Rocket is an interesting and unique sub-game that literally takes you on a rocket ride to the moon to play on a low-Gravity table where the balls behave in a radically different manner, the play dynamics are bizarre but fun as hell.
I really like the use of the X + analog stick as your pool cue, it takes some getting used to at first but after awhile I found it to be one of the better approximations of realworld pool that I have yet played, it's a very intuitive system overall.
As I said, most of the graphics are not exactly what you would describe as "state of the art" but the solid gameplay is the real winner here. I happily recommend this title to any pool fan as it is one of the more addictive pool games I have played in recent memory & for $20 you really can't go wrong.
