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!

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.

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.

Excellent practice game, you can learn to play in real world.

This is my favorite pool game. the game works fine on Windows 98 and 95, but I have it installed on Windows XP and it works great. You may have to run it in compatability mode and disable virtual themes.
It has the most realistic game play of any of the pool games Ive tried.
Great customer service from the seller. Thanks

The only other pool game I have played is Virtual Pool 2, a long time ago, and I thought it was excellent even back then. VP3 carries on the tradition and even runs on XP, which VP2 wouldn't.

Two player over a LAN, although a bit tricky to figure out at first, is really fun. And once you figure out how to get it going, is pretty easy after that.

All in all, I think this is a great simulation of a real world game. It seems just like playing pool.

I have my little boy playing it and he really likes it. And he should. It is just good clean fun. It's pretty easy to control and make shots, even for young kids.

All in all, just a refreshing break from the normal games of today. No explosions, killing, or foul language...and the game actually requires some thought and skill.

This is a big leap in Virtual Pool. Graphics are outstanding and I am saying this from just playing the demo.

I had a LOT of trouble getting the game to load and run, but after I ran the diagnostics for the dx version that came with the game, everything ran fine (even though the diagnostics all came up fine [no problem detected] - dx must have been sleeping). RocknJoe Computers (the seller) was great in helping me work out the bugs - offered advice, provided support web site info, offered a refund if we couldn't figure it out, etc. RocknJoe was great!! The program works and looks great, even though the tracking angle displays aren't accurate with english on the cue ball.

I have had so much fun with this game.There is 8 tables to play at,this is my favorite table the Hawg Pen.The graphics are great.There is over 100 players you can verse.But you must verse at least 20.I love this game and I hope you do to.

I TRIED THREE TIMES TO LOAD THIS GAME AND IT WOULD NOT LOAD EITHER ON MY COMPUTER OR ON A FRIEND'S. (HE HAS A MONSTER COMPUTER).
I HAD TO SEND IT BACK........
