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 but the publishers were unable to negotiate terms.

Gameplay

The game is a 3D pool game, featuring 13 different play modes. Players can set the speed of the balls before they start a match. 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. 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.

The game includes ad-hoc local multiplayer.

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, which can be viewed using a basic gallery feature.
