If you are a fan of billiards, then you are sure to love Pool 8 Balls. This 3D game throws you into challenging pool games with advanced AI characters and other human players. Users can play this game on almost any device that runs some form of Windows, and it is sure to entertain you and your friends for hours. In addition to having accurate physics, Pool 8-Balls also has great sound effects and a catchy soundtrack. Here is a quick look at just a few of the features that this 3D billiards game has to offer.

Pool 8 Balls standout feature is the intuitive controls. Players can either use a mouse and keyboard or a touchscreen to change camera angles, zoom in, and move the characters around. Once you are in the correct position, you must then position your cue and decide how much power you want to put behind your shot. The physics are extremely realistic, and anyone who is familiar with billiards should be able to master the mechanics after just a few games.

Another great aspect of this game is the world-class sound effects. Even though the 3D graphics aren’t stellar, all of the sounds add to the immersive nature of the game. From the background noise in the billiards hall to the loud crack that you hear when you break the rack, all of the sounds are nearly perfect. If you prefer to play in silence or listen to your own music, then you have the option of going into the settings and manually adjusting the sound levels.

You can raise the difficulty of this game as you get more proficient, but the computer characters are limited. There may come a point when you can easily beat anything that the computer throws at you. When that happens, you might want to invite your friends over for some competitive play. There is no online gameplay in Pool 8 Balls, but you can play with your friends on the same screen. Players simply take turns just as if it were a real game of pool.

Overall, Pool 8 Balls is a great game for anyone who is a fan of billiards. While there isn’t much variety in this game, it should entertain you for quite some time. Once you have mastered the game and can easily beat the computer, you should invite your friends over for some competitive tournaments.
