Billiards ReviewStill rubbish - Version: 5.1, 8/8/2009 05:38AM PST

As someone else noted, there is a distracting logo in the middle of the table. Annoying.

The scale is all wrong. A real billiards table is much bigger in comparison to the size of the balls.

The ball colors are all wrong for a real game of billiards. And the number of balls bears no relationship to a real game.

The motion of the balls on the table is not realistic. Friction and gravity are being ignored at the expense of realism.

This whole game has a history of shit development. Either the developer pays no attention to feedback, he is a moron or he is determined to impose his own ideas of how the game should look, to the detriment of the game and of players of any computer analog, simply because of the income potential.

You should not play his game (oooh pun!) Reject this rubbish and try one of the alternatives. I've simply had enough of waiting until this develops into a game worth playing, I won't be back. I think he will never get it right. But, no doubt, he won't give up filing glowing "reviews" in fake names. What a loser.

Billiards ReviewAnnoying - Version: 5.0.2, 6/3/2009 07:29PM PST

I have this company's "Snooker" game, and it's okay.

The thing that really annoys me, though, is their logo right in the middle of the game table. I have requested that they remove this and until they do I will not support their business with anymore purchases.

Can you imagine playing a game of pool at your local gaming place, bar, whatever and right in the middle of the table you have to look at "Joe's Bar and Grill" while you are playing?

Get rid of the logo, please.

Billiards ReviewGreat Program! - Version: 5.0, 5/8/2009 05:37AM PST

I have actually played this game and it is a solid piece of programming. Billiards is very realistic, good physics and sound effects and is reasonably priced. It is as close to playing on a real table as you can get on a computer screen. Future improvements: ability to change view angle on the table and length of shot vector not affected by screen size.
