Well, and snooker, for the fancier gentleman. In terms of gameplay, there isn’t really much I can say to stretch it out: it’s pool. So in the spirit of remembering what pool is like, let’s grab our pool sticks cues and rack ’em up for a review. I’ll explain what I mean when we get there. No one gets digitally arsey about who’s pound coin is on the table for the next game. I wouldn’t watch it on TV for hours, why would I play it for that equivalent either? Pure Pool, however, does one thing well that I’ve noticed other games don’t do: it gives you the ambience of a pool hall. Whereas pool, and by extension snooker too, in games always takes too long. I don’t have the patience for the former, and the latter usually boils down to “wait for inexplicably swaying arm to line up roughly with a decent shot”.
Now, as much as I like pool and darts in the real world, I’ve never had much truck with their video game counterparts. Thankfully, Pure Pool is here to keep that spirit alive. Without going too real-world-events here, the notion of going out for a few games with your mates seems like such an age old pastime now that it’s kinda depressing.
