Pocket Pool is a game released for the PlayStation Portable gaming system, developed in France by Hyper-Devbox Japan and published by both Conspiracy Entertainment and Eidos. The game was originally expected to have the Girls Gone Wild license[1] but the publishers were unable to negotiate terms.[2]

Gameplay

The game is a 3D pool game, featuring 13 different play modes.[3] Players can set the speed of the balls before they start a match.[4] Players use the d-pad to aim and to adjust the power of their shots, and can adjust the spin and angle of their shots as well.[4] Players can preview where the ball will land after a shot, and can change the camera angle to have a better idea of the playing field.[5]

The game includes ad-hoc local multiplayer.[4]

Every time the player wins a match, they unlock a new table, cue stick, set of balls, or an erotic image or video of one of the various models presented in the game,[4] which can be viewed using a basic gallery feature.[5]
