Whether you consider yourself a billiards hustler or simply want to improve your game, Super Pool makes an excellent pick. Although this game includes standard pool variations such as eight-ball and nine-ball, you also can play lesser-known games, such as American. The graphics are great, and we appreciated the ability to view the game from overhead or from behind the cue. The realistic sound effects almost fooled us into thinking we were at an actual pool hall, but you can turn them off if you don t agree. We found ball movement and trajectory spot-on, and beginners will appreciate the inclusion of help arrows for calculating the appropriate shot angle. Consistently beating even the easiest computer opponent proved to be a rather daunting task, but you can take on a friend if you best all of your virtual foes. Really, our only complaint is the short one-hour trial period, as we wanted to keep playing and playing. We highly recommend this game to all pool players.
