Side pocket is a basic pool game with a ''Story'' mode in it. The story mode consist of reaching a certain amount of points, then a bonus stage, and after getting a trick shot. Getting the trick shot will make you move on to the next stage.

Making points is really simple. Get the balls in the holes. The game provides you some way to make more points per stages. You can aim a ball at a Star pocket. Getting balls in a row or simply put them in a numbered sequence with give you a bonus at the end of the stage.

The trick shots however, are a real pain to do. You only get one shot and if you miss, you need to do the whole stage again. Which can be annoying.

Graphically, the game does his job of looking like a pool table. There's not much to say here.

For the controls, there are good. My only complaint is that when you really need to be precise, moving your aim can be really clunky since it moves too much at once.

It's one of the first sports game that I come across though my challenge that I found decent. it passes the time real good, but that's about it.
