Pure Pool Review | Darkstation
DS:
"I have always been fascinated by the game of pool. It is the quintessential bar room game that is also highly mathematical. It is the ultimate game of geometry and physics. I’m terrible at pool in real life, so whenever I get the chance to play a video game version I get rather excited.
Pure Pool starts off with a basic tutorial. It teaches you how to put spin on the ball, to aim, change the view, and other skills pertaining to pool. The game itself is rather simple. Use one analog stick to aim and the other to adjust the power of the shot. This is where the beauty of the game comes out. Just because you can play the game doesn’t make you good at it. As you begin, the game seems really easy. The HUD shows the exact path of the ball and the trajectory of those it hits. The real complexity and frustration comes as you progress through the career option."
