There was no mention of Hustle Kings in the latest European PlayStation Store update, but the pool simulator has quietly rolled onto the platform holder's online plaza in the UK. The free-to-play release, which is based upon the VooFoo developed PlayStation 3 title from a few years back, is available to download now, alongside various microtransactions. We're assuming that this is a mistake, so if you want to play the game early, you may want to nab it now.
When the port was announced at GamesCom last August, the platform holder said that it hoped that the new free-to-play model would encourage more people to play. "To ensure that there's a large online community and lots of people available for matches, we've made the game downloadable for free," producer Neil McPhillips said. The original was a real looker on Sony's last-gen machine, so even if you have little interest in pub games, this may be worth a punt for the presentation alone.
It's not like it's going to cost you anything, after all...

Anyone tried this yet?
Not found in Greece. I see only PS3 and Vita versions.
This game was good to spend some time way back when the Vita was launched.
@get2sammyb Not yet but I'll try it tomorrow, I'll give a first impressions on here
Downloaded but not tried, also have pure pool, not sure there'll be much difference
Hmm i used to love this game on the PS3 but the PS4 version just looks(Graphics wise) the same(Pure Pool looks much better) & it has lots of things missing because it's free + for some stupid reason it won't let you play your music off your PS4 USB drive in game?! If you start playing a track outside of the game(on the PS4's main menu) the music will start playing but if you go into the game the music stops. Hmm crap that
got my copy so now ive this to get all the trophys and also intwrnational snooker on vita. love a pub game me
Compared to Pure Pool it doesn't rack up (Sorry)
Controls are a tad over complicated, compared to Pure Pools control, but then jump shots etc are somewhat easier for it.
Ball physics are nowhere near as good as Pure, and i noticed on several occasions that the cushion bounce is like playing on a duff old table in a London pub..
Plus i don't like the idea of chalking the cue with different chalks to gain a buff or perk to ya shot.
In its own right and at a free to play angle, its good enough, but Pure Pool is the better game imo.
