solid and challenging pool sim
User Rating: 8 | Pool Paradise PS2
Archer Maclean's Pool Paradise is a unique game which offers players an idyllic island populated with a collection of pool-playing characters. The waves lap upon the shore; days turn to night and the indigenous creatures happily flit about their business. Arriving on the island, cue in hand but penniless, players must work their way up through the ranks in order to become the island's top dog. With cash earnt from winning games and placing side bets, players can unlock hidden areas and other extras. Along the way, players can take part in a wide selection of additional mini games and pub sports, purchasing better equipment with which to challenge the tougher opponents.
Pool Paradise requires players to master all standard pool rule sets – UK, US, eight ball and nine ball – alongside some spectacular and challenging new derivations, such as the unique and inventive Switchball. Stunt tables raise the bar significantly further, requiring a real understanding of the angles. while not brilliant its definitely worth buying at under a tenner.
