All in all, this game is quite nice, and for the majority of games also has the physics worked out quite nicely. Unfortunatelly, I'm a snooker player myself, and comparing the physics of the snooker game in game with those in real life, I have to say they didn't quite get it right. I can't help but get a feeling that the snooker balls, even though they are way smaller than the pool balls, have the exact same weight as pool balls, which completely messes up the physics. This makes them not as responsive as they should be, where once they get their momentum going while rolling, they just keep on rolling, and on the other hand making screw shots heavy to control. A second downside on the snooker game is that the pockets are 'way too tight' to make it enjoyable (even on the easiest setting). I used to be a 'Virtual Snooker' player (an old MS-DOS game from the same game manufacturer), which somehow managed to get the physics exactly right. The pockets there were virtual buckets, but at the end of the day, this is a game, and it should be enjoyable. Having been a decent player back in my day in real life (HB=90), and having been a more than decent player in Virtual Snooker (HB=144), I find myself struggling to string a decent break together in this game, just because snooker is all about positional play. It's not about making difficult shot after difficult shot, is about placing the cue ball in such an area that the next shot is relatively easy. Only with the 'too heavy balls' messed up physics, I keep overrunning or underrunning my position, and the too narrow pocket sizes don't help at all trying to recover my position to keep the break going. And if all that isn't enough... the computer opponents in this game are terrible, once again seen from a snooker POV. For most difficulty levels, they can barely pot 2 balls in a row, and make the weirdest of beginner mistakes like failing to hit the object ball alltogether or missing shots by a mile, and then the top levels suddenly can pot balls, but the way they play the game doesn't resemble snooker at all, it resembles pool. I know at the end of the day, both games are similar, except that with pool, it's all about the patterns, where in snooker, it all about the positional play. And unfortunatelly with the current physics, snooker is not enjoyable in this game (and since this game is already an older title, I don't expect any patches to fix this anymore). But if you like pool more than snooker, I guess this game is really great. I've been playing a bit of pool on it myself, and I feel the physics here are accurate, and it actually becomes enjoyable. But here as well, the computer opponents have the exact same problem as with the snooker game. They remain terrible for all the lower levels, and then suddenly turn into 'Efren Reyes' once you near the top levels.
An absolutely stellar pool simulation with some absolutely glorious retro FMVs! Celeris are a beast of a developer, ever since the original 90s Virtual Pool on DOS, they pushed the pool simulation genre by leaps and bounds to make it the best it can be. Virtual Pool 4 may be showing its age with its outdated UI and the graphics could use a bit of an overhaul regarding the backdrops, but it has a charm that no other pool game can match. Combine this with online leaderboards, tournaments, online customisable profile with rankings and stats, and a VERY affordable multiplayer subscription, and you have a DAMN fine pool game! Whenever I want to chill and relax and brush up on my skills? Virtual Pool 4 will be waiting for me!
Having played pool at competitive level having participated in national championships, this Virtual Pool series always has been my favourite simulation of the game. Virtual Pool 4 is by far the best with an extremely accurate physics engine that brings it as close to real pool as possible. Once you adjust to mouse-based controls, there is remarkably fine control over the cue ball, responsive, predicable and accurate reactions from others balls, cushions and spin. I found playing this game I could apply the same patterns, shots and strategies I used in the real world, making it immensely enjoyable. There is a wide variety of games and disciplines and career modes to keep you entertained and an evergreen install on my gaming machines. The AI can feel a little unbalanced, at times easily running the table with impossible shots only miss a sitter at an attempt to simulate missing under pressure. But if you look past that you cannot really do much better than the Virtual Pool series for your pool simulation needs. Take a bow Celeris!
