Step into the arena and play pool the way it feels on a real table. Play 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball in a fully 3D tournament arena, with true-to-life ball physics, precise aiming tools and a smooth camera that puts you right behind the cue. THREE CLASSIC GAMES - 8-Ball – pot your group (solids or stripes), then sink the 8. - 9-Ball – always hit the lowest ball first; pot the 9 to win the rack. - 10-Ball – a bigger rack and a tougher run-out for serious players. - Practice – a free table to train your break, cut shots and position play. PRECISE CONTROLS - Cue View for a low, player's-eye angle; Top View for the whole table. - Swipe to turn the cue – slow for fine adjustments, fast for big turns. - Fine-aim wheel for tiny corrections on tough cuts. - Tap a target ball to aim straight at it. - Pull the power bar and release to shoot. - Aiming guide shows the cue ball path, the object ball path and where the cue ball goes after contact. SPIN AND CUE ELEVATION Hit the cue ball high, low, left or right to draw, follow and add side spin. Raise the cue to jump over blocking balls with the jump cue. Every shot responds to the cushions, the cloth and the spin you put on it. PLAY AGAINST THE COMPUTER OR A FRIEND Challenge CPU opponents at different skill levels in race-to-rack matches, or pass the device to a friend for a local head-to-head game. MAKE IT YOURS - 7 cues: play cues, break cues and a jump cue – each with its own look. - Choose your table and cloth color: Grey, Blue, Green or Burgundy. - Detailed 3D tables, a lit arena and a crowd around you. PLAY OFFLINE No internet connection needed to play – take your game anywhere. Whether you want a quick rack on the bus or a long session perfecting your break, this is pool you can feel. Rack 'em up!
