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.

Bankshot Billiards 2

Bankshot Billiards 2 is one of the best pool games around if you don’t mind the steep price tag. It has 9 different modes of playing, including 3-ball, 14.1 continuous and the all popular 8-ball. The game is pretty simple with the player having a bird’s eye view of the table. Most of the things are customizable like the table, floor, the cue and the balls. You can play against the CPU or other players online. When playing with the CPU, it is pretty hard for you to win the game sometimes as it has a steep learning curve and no rules whatsoever about the game and how it can be won.

So the player usually has to learn the rules through trial and error. But sometimes the CPU plays rather erratically and foolishly allowing the player to take full advantage of the situation. The aiming aids in the game provide too much help in deciphering where the cue ball is headed and where the other balls will go after the white ball hits them. There are 3 levels of aiming aids of which the last two make the game very easy for the player to win. The holes on the table very much attract the white ball so it is pretty hard to keep the ball away from the holes. The background music isn’t the best either with only 5 tracks to play. But anyone with the basic knowledge of the game can learn this game and play it quite competitively with the CPU or online.
