In the game, portable pool players pick a protagonist, either Jack Stone or Kat Hudson, and take them up the ranks of the stick-shooting circuit. By betting some ducats on themselves and winning matches, gamers will earn cash to buy new items, such as cues and clothes, in local shops. Each of the modes has a number of challenges and opportunities to dazzle with trick shots, earning respect from fellow pool players. Multiplayer modes take advantage of the PSP's wireless capabilities or allow gamers to play on one machine.
