Pool Sharks - Realistic online pool game

Do you like playing pool or snooker? Then you’ll definitely have a great time playing Pool Sharks.

In this simple yet fun pool game you’ll be able to play pool or snooker in all their variants against people from all over the world. Pool Sharks only supports online games, which means you don’t get any chance to practice before you face a real competitor. On the upside, online games work pretty smoothly, with no lag or connection issues whatsoever. Also, games can be played for real money or fake bets – I’d personally stuck with the latter, at least until you improve your skills.

After registering your free user account, you enter the Pool Sharks lobby where you can see a list with all currently ongoing games, as well as a list with all the available tables you can join for a game. Games can only be played between two players though the game developers apparently plan to include support for tournaments some time in the future. While playing, you can chat with your opponent with the game’s built-in IM client.

Pool Sharks includes realistic graphics regarding the pool table and balls, but realism reaches a higher degree when depicting physical movement: it does really feel like hitting a pool ball with your own cue.

In spite of not having offline playing mode, Pool Sharks is still a fun, interesting game for all pool and snooker lovers.
