Cyber Pool

Between 'cyber-pool' and sometimes almost 'neon mini-putt', this game is a nice and relaxing little time-killer (if you like playing pool, of course)! Sadly, without any achievements, stats, or leaderboards, it dearly lacks any true purpose. And, for many, the game may end-up 'behind the eight ball' because of that. Adding those would greatly increase the amount of players and our overall playtime! But I am still recommending it because this game is really beautiful, with many levels, lots of different tables, various challenges and play-modes. All set in a gorgeous retro-futuristic (yep! I just said 'retro-futuristic') neon lights ambiance, with chill electro-lounge music perfectly fitting the mood!

Whilst this is a polished-looking Pool game, it's weirdly unfinished and not really much fun-to-play. Ball aiming/firing/movement is 'treacle' slow and you have to wait for the ball to trickle to a halt after each shot - like no-one bothered PLAYING the game after making it? Controls are keyboard or joypad and cannot be customised - only keyboard controls are shown on-screen that I noticed. No graphics options whatsoever and it lacks any sort of fps control so you'll cook your GPU playing 800fps Pool (you can force VSync in the nVidia Control Panel - not sure for AMD??) I cannot work-out how you make such a slick-LOOKING game but fail to put any - erm - GAME into it?

Well its a pool game thats as good as you remember from websites of the early 2000s. Long gone are the days of websites like candystand and "Free" pool alternatives but now thankfully we have Cyber Pool!

This is the most frustrating "pool" game you will ever buy for $1.75 on sale. Probably

Looks good, but without mouse support - unplayable.
