Yet again Led Zeppelin Games find themselves recycling codes! This is straight from Championship 3D Snooker and turned into a pool game.....actually I'm a bit cruel because I think it's the other way round and the Pool game was transformed into Snooker....but then I bought the Snooker one and never saw this until much later in life and that is what I presumed....oh well you learn.

So this is Pool and having played the Snooker one years ago this is most similar to it, but has more modes to play. Here you can play either Pool, Billiards or a trickshot mode. Pool and Billards have a tournament mode much like Snooker did. The Pool though only had three yellow balls, three red balls and the black ball, so your game will be over rather quickly unless you increase the number of frames to win, that way it can be a rather fun experience. So this can be seen as either a blessing or a curse.

Still it's good fun.

A pain for the eye !!

This is frankly a mess even from the first look of the table after the game loads. And this is why a lot of Spectrum games used monochrome graphics because it did not like multiple colurs blending in together and this game is an example of that. But yet when you play the game it's just red and yellow balls, so where's the pink and where's the blue, oh yes that's snooker and there is a snooker game I'm reviewing next from the same people, so this appears to be a switcheroo job. Even then the colours look mangled when they are close to each other. And as for the game, well it's a but crap really, the change of angles is a nice touch but it comes across as bland to me. It plays similar to most other snooker/pool games but seems more ineffective for some reason and potting anything was a chore, more than it needed to be. There's a billiards mode as well but it didn't take long for me to come to the conclusion it wasn't worth looking that. Not for me, there are plenty of games of the same nature that look and play better compared to this.
