Whats everyone think? Im tempted cause i find myself playing the demo all the time, but it does seem a tad pricey. Saying that i reckon ill get a lot of use from it. Anyone bought it?

Bonjour · 5 Feb 2006 at 14:54

I think the price of it is a tad silly.

The other games are far more reasonably priced.

PinkPig · 5 Feb 2006 at 14:55

Played the demo and really didn't think much of it, seems a lot of money for something that's not all that impressive. Can't see why anyone would buy this over Zuma or Outpost Kaloki X, myself.

Bonjour · 5 Feb 2006 at 14:59

Zuma's very good.

It's especially expensive considering you can get the Fight Night demo for free..

I can see me having great fun playing pool with my mates though.

Soulja · 5 Feb 2006 at 15:16

i was thinking about buying it also, its just that damn price

Its one of the best games available on Arcade, and well worth the points IMO.

How do you adjust power and where u hit the ball and stuff?

Hilly · 5 Feb 2006 at 16:15

Y i believe, or B, hold it down and use the right stick (if i recall correctly, could be way off)

The icons on the screen for cue cue angle, power etc are vaguely represented by the layout of the buttons on the controller.

It tells you what does what somewhere anyway, try pressing pause and help.

Sod it im gonna get me some points and buy it. We should get a ocuk pool tourney on the go i reckon

It's a decent game which will last you a few weeks if you really enjoy it... never got round to playing anyone on Live but I might, however I am bored of the game now and it very rarely gets played

I bought B'Billiards, it's ok for 10min fillers.

I'm quite enjoying Marble Blast Ultra tho

The online mode is pretty cool too.

i have had this game for a month or two and i have only just discovered the different camera angles! i had presumed the only view was the top down one.

with the camera angle changed to "real life view" this is a great version of pool.

anyone else not know this, or am i the only fool?

There was a patch released a couple of months ago which gave you new camera views, from memory I think it is one of the shoulder buttons but not 100% sure.

Official x360 mag this month said '...its fixed top down view' so not even they know

thecaptain · 26 May 2006 at 15:28

its the digital pad. i stumbled across it recently when i was playing online. i dont know why this isnt the default view. at the very least there should have been a popup telling you how to change.

if i had known that you could change the view i would have purchased it a lot sooner. i wonder how many sales they have lost because of this.
