I play pool on real tables about 10 hours a week and I've also owned three other video pool games in the past. I played this game for over a month before I desided that I can't play it any more. I am disapointed to say that there isn't much that I did like about the game. The BIGGEST problem that I had with the game is that it is next to impossible to aim and be consistant. From no matter what angle I viewed a shot I would line up to shoot and miss. Next the music just plain sucks, it's not modern, and to be honest, it's anoying. The last problem I had with the game is that there are about 16 computer players to challenge you. I only got to the fourth, and this girl was making 5-6 balls in a row. As I stated earlier with out being able to aim it's impossible to win. On a good note the rules were flawless and the programers tried to help with a tutorial that was minimally helpful. But this game needs to be tweaked and if they came out with a second version I'd be willing to try it.

For both pro and beginner alike, this game holds you to the rules of many games with both English and US versions. With true play english, power, (even chalking up), we found it to be true to life. Not to say the virtuality angle isn't there. Ever play pool on a see through glass table? It makes a BIG difference when the table cover isn't felt. Well worth a try.
