    Hustle Kings Review (PSN)

    There are a good amount of sports games to download on the PlayStation Network, but most of them are easy enough to pass up. But when I heard about Hustle Kings, an original billiards game on the PSN, I was very intrigued. So intrigued, in fact, that I decided to download the game and give it a shot. Well, I am glad that I did.

    Now the first thing to consider when playing a pool game -- or any sports game for that matter -- is how it relates to the actual sport. The physics in this game are very realistic. When you mi**** a shot, the cue stick will rattle like it does in real life. When the cue ball is close to the table wall, you will be forced to raise the cue stick at an angle to pull off the shot. The balls also bounce off the cushions and each other appropriately, and the sound effects mimic a real game at a pool hall.

    In Hustle Kings, you get more points based on the difficulty of the shot. If you use a jump shot or bounce the cue ball off the wall two times and pocket a solid, you will earn more HKC money than you would had you just pocketed the ball normally. This is important because the HKC money is what you will use to pay your entrance fee into more difficult competitions and also what you will wager with online. You can also use HKC money to unlock different cue sticks and balls from the Hustle Kings store.

        Very good game for billiards fans. One of the few downloadable games I own on PSN.

          I have HK too, and I definitely agree with the review. One thing, regarding the music, the game does have custom music (right from the XMB) for both online and offline. (Not sure if you were aware of that.)

                Picked this up last night. My lady is hooked on this game. Fellas this is a great way to get your girl to break balls and you actually enjoy it.

                      I have, and it works well as far as control and responsiveness. It does take some getting used to the "ergonomics" of holding the controller, since you don't actually have a front hand rest point.

                      Hmmmm, maybe I should design a pool stick attachment, for sale at the 99-cent store LOL
