Pool Nation

Kein schlechtes Pool Game . Allerdings empfehle ich es nur bedingt . Kein Daumen hoch oder runter sondern er dazwischen anzusiedeln . Cue Club 2 ist im einiges besser . Zumal dort auch Snooker gespielt werden kann und auch die Steuerung ist dort besser . Die Grafik ist bei beiden Spielen sehr gut .

Якісна гра у більярд (тут представлені пул вісімка, пул дев’ятка та мініігри). Їй вже більше 13 років, але графіка виглядає свіжо. Кулі відполіровані. Фізика адекватна, можна доволі легко вибити кулю з-за меж столу, доступні спеціальні удари. Накат, відтяжка, бічний гвинт, массе, різні трюкові — все працює. Цікаве керування, яке полягає в тому, що для удару потрібно спершу застиснути ліву кнопку і тягнути мишу назад для контролю сили удару, а потім різко штурхнути рівно вперед, щоб вдарити. Це і незручність, бо може вплинути на прицілювання. Української локалізації немає. Висновок: симулятор більярду, який витримав випробування часом.

I have been playing this game off and on for years. I love how simple it is to get up and playing. The physics and controls feel super intuitive. The AI seems a little silly, but good enough. I love the sound track and a couple of the songs just lift me up every time I play it. It’s one of those games that I reach for when I want some easy entertainment and I always walk away with a smile and uplifted mood. I highly recommend it if you like pool and just want a simple no fluff game that’s easy to play.

Holy crap, everything in the UX is like the worst thing possible. - Can't use ESC in menus - Took me 7 tries to get two human players because I had no idea what I was selecting - Turned off aim assist, but apparently that didn't work for the other player. Like why is this so stupid? Why is this game so needy? Do what I want and get out of the way. I got so annoyed with the garbage UX that I just Alt F4 and uninstalled. Great job.

If you wanna play pool on the computer this game is one of the best. The assists can be turned off if you prefer but I love how they let me feel like a pool pro capable of neat trick shots.

This game, like it's "FX Lite" version, is also a massive piece of s**t. If you try to put the game in any resolution above 1920x1080, it will crash and keep crashing forever. I never made it past the main menu, except when it was in that resolution. The two minutes I spent actually playing it, made me want to shove scissors in my ears and icepicks in my eyes. I would rather instantly receive Stage 6 Stomach Cancer, Ebola, and AIDs, all at once, along with 27 parking tickets and a foreclosure on my home. Don't even bother wasting your time, just go play real pool.

[quote][i][b]SHORT REVIEW :[/b][/i] in a market lacking this kind of game, Pool Nation is a small gem in the genre, the best choice for every lover of pool and all its variations. Simple overall, but it has everything you need to enjoy some pool games from time to time.[/quote] [i][b]> Gameplay ( 7.0 / 10 ) :[/b][/i] the game offers many versions of pool to play, with a long campaign mode where you need to complete special objectives in addition to simply winning a game (like difficult shots or special tricks) to obtain stars and unlock cues, balls and tables textures. A simple and fast tutorial helps to learn and understand the basics of pool. It is also possible to turn on or off visual effects to predict ball movement and choose to play in a more arcade or realistic style. Overall, Pool Nations doesn't offer much more than the traditional games and focuses more on a relaxing, occasional way of playing. [i][b]> Story ( 6.0 / 10 ) :[/b][/i] the only "lore" in the game is about some random people (basically pictures) that you need to beat in order to complete the game and unlock collectables. [i][b]> Aesthetics ( 7.4 / 10 ) :[/b][/i] the style reminds of the early 2000s' idea of semi-futuristic: rounded shapes, neon, blurry lights and wide empty spaces. Combined with peculiar music, the aesthetic of the game feels cosy, relaxing and nostalgic, lacking details but in line with the idea of slow-paced gameplay. [i][b]> Audio ( 6.7 / 10 ) :[/b][/i] few music tracks keep us company, perfectly combined with the aesthetics to give those precise vibes. Sounds are good and believable, but a bigger variety in music would have been necessary. [i][b]> Difficulty ( 7.3 / 10 ) :[/b][/i] Pool Nation offers a good amount of challenge even to experienced players, thanks to its many different objectives to get all the stars, but even newcomers can have their chance to complete the game without struggling. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to play online, unless with Steam friends. [b][i][u]> Overall Rating ( 6.9 / 10 ) < [/u][/i][/b]
