Pool Party is a sports simulation video game for the Wii, published by SouthPeak Games and developed by HyperDevbox Japan. It includes 13 different styles of cue sports, including nine-ball and eight-ball pool, and snooker.

Reception

The game received poor to middling reviews. N-Europe gave the game a 2/10 score, slamming it as "badly done shovelware" which felt like a quick cash-in on the Wii's success and control scheme. GameSpot gave a 5 out of 10 (mediocre) score, saying "twitchy controls and poor presentation eclipse what little fun there is to be had with this middling billiards game." The review aggregator Metacritic scored the game at 32 out of 100 based on 13 industry reviews, generally unfavorable score.
