The characters selectable in the game range from stereotypical "ba-da-bing" lowlife pool hall rejects to B-List female models. Suffice to say that the voice acting won't be anything other than forgettable thanks to the cheesy, overused one liners. The music is repetitious and has a tone of seediness. In fact, I could easily see Pocket Pool being the first ever "Don't let this happen to you" simulation. But somewhere between the over-exposed breasts and under achieving dialogue, the game of billiards is represented; not exceptionally mind you, but sufficiently. The physics seem imperfect, but you can learn to make those tricky shots.

The premise is as simple as you'll find in a game. The player has the option of selecting from a wealth of game types, including Nine Ball, Snooker, Straight Pool, Killer, Blackjack and a variety of others that at least serve to keep Pocket Pool from becoming too stale. Below the surface though, it is clear that the developer designed this title to do one thing. That is to appeal to the male animal instinct for soft porn. Like a trained seal at Sea World, you perform an action, you get a reward. In this case, winning games allows you to unlock goodies.

What kind of goodies you ask? Extra venues, pool tables with custom tops, custom pool balls, cues and most importantly women. Not just ordinary women though, women in seductive poses with minimal clothing. There it is gamers. Just when you thought creativity in video games was dead. Someone has found a way to merge two of your favorite pastimes... billiards and sex. There really isn't a need for a lot of discourse here. Pocket Pool doesn't pretend to do anything other than offer the player a quick game of billiards on the go and sexy ladies to ogle when you have the urge to do so. Throw in Wi-Fi capability to play with a friend and you have a good summary of what this title has to offer.

If you're the kind of gamer who loves nothing more than to play virtual pool and salivate on your PSP's screen over women you'll never meet and would never have a chance of scoring with, well, I hope we never meet face to face. For God's sake order this game online, have it delivered to your home and keep your dirty deeds hidden behind closed doors.
