That's only the beginning of Bankshot Billiards 2's problems. One of the Achievements is for winning 200 games. That's hard enough, but when finishing five of them without being disconnected becomes impossible, you'll never see those points. It's not only online either. You can have a group of people over and out of nowhere, the game crashes and sends everything back to the menu. Even if the 200 win barrier proves to be impossible, you don't have to worry about the rest. This one decides to hand out awards for 50 wins, even though you didn't even win a single round in the previous game.
It's a real shame since Bankshot 2 features some great gameplay once on the table (assuming you stay and don't get booted for a random reason). Taking the price into consideration, it drops a few spots lower. If you landed a free download, you likely won't care. If you enjoy yourself, don't get too immersed - you never know when the next glitch will hit.
Bankshot Billiards 2 is a rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB .

Just like Tiger 06 on the Xbox 360, this game is good even with the flaws.
I was the one who got the 50 win achievement when getting p0wned by Matt in a game. Odd.
Today I got the 9 Ball Shark achievement for hitting the 9 ball in on a break (this should have been the Lucky Break achievement.) It is really annoying as I have sunk the 9 ball on a break no less then three times by now, and still no achievement.
9 Ball Shark, worth tree times as much, not to mention exponentially harder *technically* to get, I get without even trying. I did not come close to winning five games without losing a turn.
Now that achievement is worthless. It means nothing.
However I do not know if I should blame the developer, or the Achievement system, as I have seen oddities like this in other games as well.
I have played a lot of Bankshot Billiards 2 online in the last few days and I am getting dropped less often it seems, but it still happens. That does not excusable. This is not Call of Duty 2 or Perfect Dark Zero, its a billiards game!
