With so few pool games on the market, it seems strange that Blade Interactive, which created the excellent World Championship Pool, would compete against itself by also developing Pool Shark 2.
Viesearch They are very different games though, so perhaps the developer thought there was an untapped part of the market? Still, it seems to us that it’s a single audience and from that point of view, Pool Shark 2 is a bit of a letdown.

Firstly the speed of WCP is missing here and many of the games feel a little clunky and unrealistic. The excellent physics of WCP seem to have been messed with too, as the balls here feel heavy and don’t seem to glide around the table with the same ease as before. The characters do add a certain levity to proceedings (the glamour girl, the Elvis impersonator, et al) but we’d still rather play as Steve Davis and chums to be honest.
There is decent one player career style feature here (Hustle mode) where you travel to some bizarre locations to take on the local talent. One interesting aspect of this is that you get to choose how much money to wager on each match and then this dosh can be used to buy all kinds of goodies, from waistcoats and shits to new cues.
