The Hustle: Detroit Streets Announced [Xbox, PS2]

Thanks to TeamXbox (http://www.teamxbox.com) for the news (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10070/The-Hustle-Detroit-Streets-Coming-to-Xbox/).

This is a pool game like no other. You're a down-on-your-luck hustler, newly arrived in Detroit, where the tough streets are unforgiving and your survival depends on your ability to win cash and respect. Activision and Blade Interactive are bringing The Hustle: Detroit Streets to Xbox and PlayStation 2 on February 22nd.

Previously available on the PSP, The Hustle combines everything you'd expect in a pool sim along with elements you might find in a story-driven RPG. You get the physics, the trick shots and precise controls over every hit, but also a full storyline where you hustle your way through 170 pool sharks, an interactive crowd that influences your game, dialogue system and customizable gear to spend your hard-hustled money on.
You know, I miss the days of playing snooker/pool/billiards. Maybe this will scratch that itch?

Virtua Pool was so awesome back in the day.

Dude, it ROCKED!

This game is actually pretty cool on the PSP. The graphics are great and the pool physics are spot on. It's most annoying feature, the animation load times, should be completely eliminated on the XBOX and PS2.

This actually sounds like a lot of fun.

I live just 20 minutes outside of Detroit. Perhaps, I should head down there and see if I can win some cash and respect.

Let us know how that goes! :)

Hey, that sounds cool. *considers* I'll probably wait for the console release, but my PSP is lacking, shall we say, in games.

Pool + rpg?

sounds retarded to me. Dangerous detroit, but instead of fighting off thugs to get by, we challenge them to a game of pool?

Wow. Just, wow.

Isn't there a Live Arcade pool game? How's that?

Let us know how that goes! :)

All right, I just got back. I certainly earned some respect, but not in the way I originally intended. :eek:

Mmm. Snooker. Such a great game.

Well that's a shame. Kudos for the effort, though. :)
