Image: MobyGames

Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend

Demo mode only


Genre: sports - pool

Publisher: Data East

Year: 1995

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Even on Easy the computer does not miss. It also takes 10-30 seconds to think about what shoot to take which slows the game down a ton. So yeah, most games are you shooting once and then watching for 8 minutes while the computer clears the table. Yeah no thanks. No way to make the game easier. You just get your cursor and had better be a billiards savant.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

No freeplay option. You always have to play against another player.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Your opponent constantly talks to you between shots. You see their avatar and slash a little animation showing them as they shoot. It's a touch of personality anyway.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Much better than Championship Pool. The balls are bigger and animate as they move. There's a HUD with the shot power meter and a few other things.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Initially I hated the elevator music but it grew on me. It dynamically switches based on what's happening in game.


Overall Score: 26

Review ID: 1078
