Amazon.com Product Description

Pool sharks will enjoy the real-world physics of Billiards: Real Pool, as well as the ability to see every angle of the setup with complete 360-degree views. Beginners can use optic guidelines to help set up the shots. The 12 game modes include basic, eight ball, nine ball, rotation, carom, and such nontraditional pool games as five-nine and "bowliards." Tournament mode allows players to match skills with eight computer opponents--each with unique strengths and weaknesses. The 25 puzzle games take place on uniquely shaped tables, such as cloverleaf, star, triangle, and an H-shaped table. Players will have a specific number of shots in which to knock in a certain amount of "hit" balls on tables featuring obstacles. Billiards: Real Pool has competitive action for one to two players, and even allows them to choose their in-game music from the "jukebox."

4.0 out of 5 stars Real Pool, January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Billiards: Real Pool (Video Game)

This game is interesting but not exciting. I love to play pool myself, but this game is......a little boring after a while. On the other hand, there are many games to play (nine ball, eight ball an TONS more) and the games are good. To position your shot is easy and making the actual shot is easy. BUT there are challenges. There are things called puzzles which are basiclly trick shots on different shaped tables ( star, heart ect.) Those are alot of fun and some are hard to master. This isn't the best game I've played but a good one still. I recommend renting it and trying it for yourself

2.0 out of 5 stars Game hardly worthy of PS2 launch, December 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Billiards: Real Pool (Video Game)

If you own Virtual Pool (1 or 2), you will be greatly disappointed in this game. It just doesn't have a convincing look-and-feel of playing a real pool game. It certainly doesn't exercise the graphics capabilities of the PS2 in any signficant manner. The controls are unintiutive and imprecise. The only saving grace in this game is the somewhat interesting "puzzle" mode which provides 25 interesting table designs.

But for standard pool play, it is pretty weak. Get Virtual Pool for PS1 if you really want a pool game for your PS2.

1.0 out of 5 stars bad game, December 15, 2000

Thos (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Billiards: Real Pool (Video Game)

Well, I rented this game after looking at all these great reviews. I don't understand why this game is getting such good reviews from everyone else. It's horrible. Music = bad. Control = bad. If you want to buy a real game, buy Virtual Pool 2 for your PC... it's much, much better. Skip out on this one. Or do what I did, rent it and find out for yourself.
