    This game is great fun and great value (£7.99) - in all honesty i bought it out of boredom but i quickly ended up enjoying it and its the most enjoyable pool game ive played, ever. however the online is a mess if you want to play against a friend, it works fine but actually getting it set up is a massive headache.

    Pretty enough graphics. You can't add player 2 with a live login.. which is really cheap and nasty. Either way this is fun for a pool night at home. Surely the fancy kinect 2 could work here?

    Great mechanics in the game, but the game options, menus and gametypes are a bit lack lustre. I enjoyed the first few hours and then got a bit bored.

    Pros: Awesome graphics, easy controls, solid gameplay.

    Cons: Ball-to-ball and ball-to-cushion physics are a little sketchy but definitely playable, some of the stars are too difficult to get (e.g. you need to earn one by getting out of a snooker but the AI never attempts to put you in one).

    Minor quibbles aside this is a really nice game, and snooker DLC is on the way :)

    The problem is, we have real friends who'll accompany us to real pubs with real tables on which we can play real pool. So why do we need a slightly sterile virtual version? [Feb 2015, p.83]

    Play it with a friend for a few yours and then forget about it; it's so simple to learn that you'll have [it] mastered in that time anyway. [Issue#156, p.117]

    This simple pool sim is as polished as a cue ball and belongs to anyone who likes the game.
