World Championship Pool 2004

The World Championship Pool 2004 brings together on one table everything that a billiard fan usually needs: different types of games, tournaments and opponents with increasing skill levels. Here, a beginner will be given the opportunity to figure out the aim and force of a blow, while an experienced one will have someone to beat seriously. The mechanics are built around precision. The aiming line, the cue, the point of contact on the ball and the spin calculation are all available on the screen, so the result depends on calculation and not on a random click. You won't be able to win with one beautiful shot: the game consists of a series of moves, where it is important to score yourself and not to set up your opponent. There are several modes: individual games for practice, competitions with a series of matches, and a journey through events where difficulty increases and conditions change. The settings allow you to play at home with friends, sharing control, and the rules of different disciplines are described directly in the tips. Separately, it is worth noting that the disciplines differ in rules: in some places you need to close the game with one ball, in others you need to play in turns until the last one. Opponents adapt to the player's level, and on high difficulty they are almost unforgiving of mistakes. Shot replays are also useful - you can see exactly how the ball went the wrong way and play differently next time. There are also tips on the rules right during the game, so you don’t need to understand the intricacies in advance. For a sports simulator there is a minimum of unnecessary stuff - no plot, no noisy design. But the World Championship Pool 2004 works as a trainer and as evening entertainment: a game always lasts as long as necessary, and a loss is almost always explainable.
