not good - can't be recommended – Pool * Review

Unfortunately this is not a good game. I don't mind the fact that it's very difficult to play, most pool/snooker games are too easy in my opinion. There are other more serious problems. It's annoying that the actual rules are not consistent with official 8-ball rules. For instance when the opponent makes a mistake you should get a "ball in hand", but instead you get 2 shots which is just rubbish. Also, it is taken as a foul when an opponent's ball is potted in an otherwise legal shot, which shouldn't be a foul. Worst thing of all though is that there is no way of controlling the action of the cue ball. It's only one center-ball striking available and that is totally useless in these games. And finally, language mistakes in texts (for instance "Computer Turns", instead of "Computer's turn" give away that there hasn't been too much work put into this game.
