Wil Hudson’s Cue Sports


Wil Hudson’s Cue Sports is for those with the true love and passion for the game. It goes beyond Gameloft’s Midnight pool in providing the ultimate experience of realism.

The main feature of Match Up offers its Wii owners most of the well known cue sports like 8 Ball, 9 Ball, snooker and Rotation. A brief explanation of rules is provided when choosing the mode of play. The game is best enjoyed when playing against a friend instead of the computer. It offers a wide range of options like practice mode, puzzles, choosing venues, ball set, table designs and racks needed to win the games . A strong feature of Cue Sports is the addition of online play via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, taking it up a notch over Midnight Pool.

Another plus point is the efficient use of the Wii Remote, which acts as the virtual cue. D-Pad alters the direction of pointer to choose a position to hit on the ball and also to manage how hard the ball is hit. Here finer adjustments, with the D pad, sometimes take too much time.

The flaws of the game are the repetitive background music scores and fairly average graphics. Camera angles also at times offer limited views. Overall, Cue sport in spite of its certain flaws may be preferred over Midnight pool because of its more serious nature and the option of online playing. A little more work on making it more appealing to the eye and the ear can certainly take it up rest of the way.
