Hustle Kings
Hustle Kings, développé par VooFoo Studios et publié par Sony Computer Entertainment, est sorti le 28 janvier 2009. Répertorié dans le genre sport, il est listé comme présent sur PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita et PlayStation VR. D'après le résumé d'IGDB, ce jeu acclamé sur PlayStation Network est annoncé sur Vita avec des contrôles tactiles intuitifs et d'autres ajouts.
La note agrégée du titre atteint 62,60. La presse a salué certains aspects : Destructoid a ainsi relevé que les commandes tactiles, malgré une prise en main initiale chargée, se révèlent précises et facilitent autant les tirs simples que les tricks complexes. Play UK a décrit une expérience solide et agréable pour occuper quelques heures, tout en notant un défaut d'accroche sur la longue durée. Sur Metacritic, des joueurs ont formulé le vœu d'une version ou mise à jour PS5 et d'une communauté plus large, et l'un d'eux a proclamé avoir joué au meilleur jeu de billard existant, citant l'ajout de contrôles boutons et stick après une démo tactile jugée terrible. Le temps de completion de l'histoire principale est par ailleurs renseigné à 6½ Hoursh.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The touchscreen controls may seem like a lot to take in at first, but their precision and accuracy make simple shots a breeze and the more complicated trick shots even more fun. It's not a perfect game, but when you get both the Vita and PS3 games for one price? You can't knock the hustle, baby. »
« A solid and enjoyable game to waste a few hours on, though it lacks any real draw to keep you going for a long time. [Issue#216, p.84] »
« A great pool sim and game all-around, with more modes than you can shake a pool cue at. The supreme amounts of polish the game and the menu have make it a nearly flawless experience. Throw in online and even Cross-Platform Play, and Hustle Kings is a seriously packed game for the price. »
« A great virtual recreation of pool that eases beginners in smoothly and offers up a feature-rich multiplayer mode for the experts. »
« While others might give it a miss, physics majors and pool sharks will definitely get a kick out of this game. And, at a price of $15.50 (and a download size of just 400MB), it certainly won't break the bank for a few hours of solid gameplay either. »
« Honestly, Hustle Kings is almost the perfect handheld game. It's deep and engaging, without being so engrossing you'll hate yourself for having to turn it off quickly. The music is fantastic and even if you think you'll never play pool, you might be inspired to after this game. »
« Great for the avid pool player, but probably not for the rest of us. »
« Hustle Kings is open to everybody, from experienced players to pool paupers – just as long as you're willing to listen to its suggestions and learn how to curve a ball. »

« Awesome game i wish so bad they made a ps5 version update and/or gain more players »
« Best billiards game I have ever played. They must of added button and stick control and now is a lot of fun. The demo was touch screen only and it was terrible. The basic game is a lot of fun with 9 or 8 ball. Trick shots are NOT fun. Really need pin point precision and a lot of luck even on the earlier trick shots. Weirdly there are quite a few online trophies and online is dead. Other than that the game is worth the cheap price and will keep you occupied for hours. »
