It's received rave reviews from people across the globe; pool enthusiasts that are now giving up the smoky and loud pool lounges across town, in favor of the computer screen.
The game is inteligent, very intelligent. The cue is your mouse. The speed with which you roll it across your pad , determines how hard you hit the balls. Virtual Pool 2 has flawless graphics and flawless response times, if you have the machine power for it.
Yes, you're looking at least at a Pentium II processor or alike, with loads of RAM and a superior display adapter that's capable of handling a minimum 800x640 display. Ideally, the mahogany and the shine of polish on the table edges; the velvety green of the surface, and the spit-gleam of the balls come through only in a 1024x800 display.
The "brain" or algorithm engine detects, cut-shots, spins, punch-shots, cannon-ball shots and all the nuances used by a professional pool enthusiast. You can follow, draw and do almost anything, better than while playing the real thing.
The shareware version, available for download at the site above, provides a game with 4 colored, numbered balls and the cueball. For the whole gang of pool games; 8-ball, 9-ball, and snooker, you have to buy the game.
Actually, the game at any cost is a steal! The only drawback is the heavy hardware requirements it exerts, if you want the best effects.
Be sure to download your copy and go ahead and buy the game. It provides hours of realistic entertainment and it's cheaper than blowing all those dollars on the real table with beer and chips.
