It's hard to write a long review on a game that is
so simple and straightforward to play as this one but don't make the
mistake of thinking that simple means 'no good'. One of the joys of
this game is that you can boot it up and play without any
complicated manual reading. Occasionally it's nice to be able to
play a game without needing a degree to understand it!
Electronic Pool is just that - an overhead view of
a pool table with cue and object balls. Place a cursor on the object
ball, set the power bar at the top of the screen and cue away. With
just a little practice you will will be potting those balls. You may
play solo or with another player with up to 8 games in a session.
Points are scored for each ball potted with the scores of each
pocket rotating as the game is played so that the easiest shot is
not always the best to go for. As a solo game there is a high score
table to judge your improvement.
The animation is smooth, the sound effects and
graphics are good and the game is easy to play. A nice one for the
end of the day when you want a nice relaxing game that will retain
your interest without taxing your brain too much!
