With the success of the Nintendo DS games, we've seen many different games make its way onto the system that've either delivered well, or just missed the nail on the head. Still, there are many classic table games that've all shown variations on many games systems. Although they are just as simple, most of the time, the gameplay is absolutely boring. Although many traditional games like board games have delivered well such as connect four and table tennis, billiards has absolutely been a very difficult matter of delivering. Now, a new game with the stylus seems to try to hit the 8 ball in the side pocket, but does it absolutely deliver, or is it just a miss?
Underground Pool for the Nintendo DS, tries to brng a tournament style pool table action to new gamers. The game doesn't really offer many variations of pool, other than the 8 ball and the traditional 9 ball we've seen in many different agems. The object is simple, you face off against 16 different opponents, to match wits at getting the pool balls into the pockets with you stylus as a pool stick. The control is simple and similar to what we've played from before on the DS, courtesy of Clubhouse Games. What really does shine though is the graphics on the top screen, as you have a decent 3-D reflection of the pool table and all your shots. Sadly, though the gameplay is simple, it doesn't actually deliver for anything with more excitement. The game doesn't actually have more variations of pool, such as the traditional 15 or 10 ball, or anything in regards to trick shot action.
All in all, Underground Pool isn't really exciting for those who want a bit more from their pool action. If you are actually into billiards, I really suggest you buy Clubhouse Games instead, because there is much more to play there than here. The cue ball misses the mark and falls into the corner pocket on fun.
