5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST POOL GAME EVER!, October 25, 2005

Being a big fan of playing pool in real life and on the computer I decided to give Virtual Pool 3 a try. It claims it can help your real life pool game and I am here to tell you that it will. I learned some valuable lessons from watching the in game videos and from practicing over and over the shots it sets up for you. When I play pool with friends now they can't believe when I tell them I learned them all from playing a computer game.

Give this game a try...you will not be dissapointed

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for the money, March 31, 2006

This review is from: Virtual Pool 3 (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

In this game you can do many things like play online, just play a game or have a career. This game has instructional videos on how to improve and can really improve your real life pool. For 10 dollars it is defintly worth the money. It has 8 ball-9 ball and many other games i hadnt even heard of. The graphics are great, and it never lags. You can play players with the diffuculty you want, and the game you want. Unlock many levels like beach house an deep pockets. Many different games to play, places to play them, and how to play them, and who to play them with.

This game improves your real pool game, but makes it look like crap. Buying this game is a great alternative to owning a real pool table. The mouse fling cue is a great idea, cause it is very similar to reality. Also in the game you can different cues. This can help you adjust to your own unique style of playing. Sometimes the game can be cheap (some of the bosses) but you can always find a way to beat them. If you have any questions in the game, you can go to the help button. This explains all the rules to all the different games.

For ten bucks, this is the best choice you can have for the money

After Showing This game to a Friend who really enjoys playing pool in Bars , he ended up telling me this game was the closest thing he saw to real pool playing. I Would have to agree as this game is above and beyond anything out there right now for the PC.
