Hustle Kings: First Look

Are you tired of playing pool in Playstation Home? Hustle Kings seems to be the next step. Created by VooFoo Studios, it's already available on the Playstation Network (PSN).

Like the vast majority of PSN games, Hustle Kings is simple and accessible. Anyone try'll quickly understand how it works, since it is very similar to other games of the same genre. Anyway, there is a training mode that explains everything you need to know. The left analog / D-pad moves the club and the right defines the area of the ball when we want to hit, if indeed we intend to give a specific effect. We can change the type of camera in R1 and easily choose the most suited to play. Once we decide we want to force the print cue (R2 and L2), just have to click X to make the shot. This can be done in two different ways: either carry on the X again at the right time or use the right analog stick making a move from the bottom up. This decision is the choice of the player.

The controls are extremely sensitive but fortunately there is the Fine Tune option, which reduces the speed of the shoot. This option is essential if we want to make more accurate shots. It is important to note that the game rewards hard moves, which encourages the player to risk. According to our participation in games, we'll make money. Money that we can use to buy new avatars, chalk and many other things. In the game, there are several types of chalk, each with its characteristics.

The career mode keeps the tradition, a number of challenges to complete the multiple modes available. In exhibitions or tournaments can choose from several types of competitions, up to two players. The online options are not available but promise to complete a game which in itself is already quite full.

Visually, Hustle Kings is a masterpiece. The sets, tables and balls are closer to reality than any other game of this genre. The detail is impressive. The soundtrack was well chosen and is quite varied. One thing I found amazing was the option we can select the type of music we want to hear. If you do not like Hip-Hop, Jazz, can simply delete them from the soundtrack. This is a great idea that should be implemented in more games.

Hustle Kings is billiards, nothing more, nothing less. Is the complete package, with great graphics, good controls and a nice soundtrack. A simple gameplay and an exceptional presentation come to have a good time with friends. If you like to play pool and are looking for a virtual and entertaining version, go buy this game.
