#MINICLIP 8 BALL POOL ONLINE PLAYER VS PLAYER PRO#
Whether you're an amateur or pro in real life, 8 Ball Pool is a polished billiards app with a lot of opponents to test your skills against and plenty of replay value.
Due to the time limit, the games move quite swiftly, and I found myself often thinking, "Just one more game, and I can win some of my money back." While I admit that line of thinking isn't particularly healthy, each round of 8 Ball Pool never failed to get me somewhat excited or nervous - especially when both my opponent and I had a shot on the eight ball. But if there had been a toggle I could use to disengage the power meter altogether until the point when I was ready to use it, it definitely would have prevented a few misfires.įor a casual pool player, I was surprised at how addicted I became to this game. If I was careful enough to bring the power meter back to its resting state, I could keep from accidentally striking the cue ball before I was fully ready. Also, there were times when, while adjusting the angle of my cue stick, I'd also brush my finger against the power meter - certainly a danger of having all the controls crowded together on the screen.
For one, it'd be nice to have a chat function where users could type their own words instead of selecting one of the limited phrases the app provides.
There are some things I could stand to see added to 8 Ball Pool. Though, I must admit that after my four-in-a-row losing streak, I started to have doubts (it turns out I just suck at this game). More often than not, our stats were on par. I also found the opponent matching system to be pretty fair. There are no distractions such as extraneous music or dialog boxes, and the interface is colorful but mostly uncluttered. I especially like the realistic sound effects and the relaxing, steady pace. The physics are responsive and accurate, and you can even adjust the touch sensitivity of your pool stick. Screenshot by Lynn La/CNETĪside from these minor problems the game is excellent. Sometimes the app had trouble finding me another user to play with, and the opponent wheel would spin indefinitely. Maybe that's a bug, or maybe the option to play tournaments is still in beta testing. There is a third option to play a tournament, but the game says that feature is "coming soon." Strangely, I noticed in other users' profiles that they had played in tournaments already. Once you're in, you can either play with friends or get matched up one-on-one with random users.

You can start playing as a Miniclip member, a Facebook user, or (my favorite) a guest member - that last requiring no registration or username. In addition, the game includes advanced options for more expert players, so they won't get bored either. That's because the app is so easy to understand that casual players like me will find it challenging, but not discouraging. I play the game in real life about as often as I go to the dentist, not because I don't like it, but because the opportunity rarely arises.įortunately, I found that however bad you are at actual pool has little effect on how good you'll be at this game. I have to admit that before I started playing 8 Ball Pool, I was a bit worried I wouldn't have much luck against the other players.
