Cue Online

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on November 16, 2009

Cue Online is a realistic pool game you play on your computer. It supports several different styles of pool and features detailed and colorful graphics. Create a username and password at the game manufacturer's Web site, view the detailed tutorial, and you're ready to play.

The design and interface of Cue Online is detailed and sophisticated. The backgrounds and various viewing angles are impressive. There's a Help file and an Options menu for customizing the game and your playing experience. Opening the program prompts you for a username and password. After a moment of confusion, we visited the manufacturer's Web site, which instructs users of their games to sign up by creating a username and password for free. Once we did that, we were able to log in to the game. However, you're not allowed to play until you go through a lengthy tutorial explaining how to maneuver the pool cue, how to make plays, and which keyboard keys to hit to zoom in or rotate your viewing angle. After we completed the tutorial, we were able to play the game.

The detailed instructions were helpful, but having to go through the whole tutorial before playing was a bit tedious. We wish that the game would have let us play after watching just part of the tutorial, or without watching it at all. Cue Online is free, which is nice considering its quality. It offers fun and challenging game of pool that novices, sharks, and hustlers can all enjoy.
