Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Virtual Pool 3 featuring Jeanette Lee is the most complete pool and billiards game ever made. Imagine all sixteen games from Virtual Pool Hall (8-ball, 9-ball, Snooker, Billiards, etc.) combined with exclusive video of Pro-Tips from Jeanette Lee, stunningly realistic 3D pool environments, a plethora of computer opponents with bios and photos, and a new and improved graphics system. Add to that a new frontend and user interface along with professional licenses and equipment. There’s even a career mode allowing the gamer to gain experience and work their way up to championship level. But perhaps the most impressive feature will be the multi-player online support using the GameSpy Arcade.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Pool Sim Available!, November 13, 2000

By A Customer

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

This is easily the best Pool simulation on the market. I've played them all and even the earlier versions of Virtual Pool pale in comparison to Virtual Pool 3.

The game features new instructional videos, a wide variety of games, challenging computer opponents and internet tournament play. It has added a new graphics engine and 8 new pool-playing environments ranging from a neighborhood garage to a Monte Carlo casino. The 3D and sound effects are first rate and the game settings can be fine-tuned to your liking!

The folks at Interplay have paid attention to detail and produced a realistic feeling and visually pleasing game. If you like to play pool, buy this game!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Pool Table in the House? No Problem!, December 13, 2001

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

If you're really into pool and billiards but can't afford to buy a table, don't fear. This game is simple excellent for simulating what happens on a pool table; all the physics are there! the game choice is great too, from straight pool to 8 and 9 ball to other games. Good call to include 1 and 3 cushion billiards too; they're great games. Even snooker is included. The career mode is good, but it should be called "hustler mode" instead. A real career mode would be a league season(s) or series of tourneys, not a bunch of games with money on the line. it's a little dissappointing that most of the good pool venues have to be unlocked; one shouldn't be limited to a biker bar and a garage, as cool as they are. the bottom line?? Get this game, whethere to shoot around by yourself, with a friend, or against a computer player. Studies say playing billiards an hour or two every day is relaxing and stress-relieving...so here you go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily The Best!, November 11, 2000

By A Customer

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

This is the best Pool simulation on the market! I've played them all and Interplay consistently does the best job of rendering a realistic and enjoyable game.

If you liked Virtual Pool 2 or Virtual Pool Hall, run to buy this game! Interplay has outdone themselves on this version. The graphics and sound effects are first rate. The game play is excellent.

Microsoft should take note. Virtual Pool 3 is to pool simulations what Links 2001 could have been and should have been to golf simulations.
