Real Pool

Game: Real Pool

Platform: PS2

Studio: Infogrames

Rating: 4/10

Is there a reason not to visit a real pool hall? Other than you may suck at billiards or you can’t handle the cigarette smoke? Read on.

Look: The tables are realistic. The rest is pretty well detailed, but we’re talking about a table with round balls. How hard can that be to recreate? Heck, I remember the original Nintendo had decent billiards games.

Feel: I don’t even know what to say. It’s just like any other pool game you’ve played.

Hear: The sound effects are real enough, but the music is just plain bad.

Finally: There are a dozen or so games to play. How long that keeps you happy is up to you. I say invest in a gas mask and take some lessons.
