8 Ball Billiards King : 8/9 Ball Pool Games

I love this game it is simple and easy to play. The only problem I had with it was that I think it could be a little lighter. Some of the plays you try to make are hard to see.

I like the look of the game for the most part. Sounds are great and everything just looks the way it is supposed to. Unfortunately I must agree with one other reviewer...The physics handling is very poor. The balls frequently travel far passed the point where they should have stopped. Sometimes it seems the striking power isn't accurate to the bar either. My other complaint, it seems there is no way to perform backspin or English on the ball. There is a UI element that looks like it should be for that, but I haven't been able to get it working...Perhaps in an update?

Controls are sticky and there's no ability to zoom in and accurately place a shot. The balls are so small on the screen that zoom should be an option in order to get the angles right. No way to put English on the ball, so half the time on a straight shot the cue ball gets sank too. The physics are off as far as drag goes too, takes flipping forever for the balls to come to a stop, and the game doesn't advance until they are stopped. Need to increase drag/rolling resistance!

This game lacks multitasking support, and game center support. Should they incorporate these features in future updates, enabling online multiplayer, and perhaps tweak the physics just a little bit, this game would be a 5 star hit.

Besides the poor physics and awkward viewing angles, it's molasses slow. Balls take forever to stop moving. There are much nicer pool simulations available. If later versions add features and improve speed, then it's worth trying.
