Growing up, I have always enjoyed playing pool. I was always at the pool hall and I eventually bought my own table. I never got into playing on a computer or phone, but when I saw Amazon had Pool Break Pro as today’s free app, I immediately downloaded it.
I was immediately impressed. I can’t compare it to any other pool games, but I feel confident that this one has to be one of the best if not the best. A lot of people must agree because it has a rating of 4.53 stars out of 2,217 ratings (from the Android Market).
There so many different games which include:
- US 8 Ball Pool
- UK 8 Ball Pool
- 9 Ball Pool
- Straight Pool
- Pool Drill
- Place-n-Shoot Pool
- Regular Snooker
- Snooker 6-Reds
- Snooker 10-Reds
- Carrom (3 table styles)
- Crokinole
I will say it took me a little bit of time to figure out the game play controls. Maybe it was because it was a little early in the morning, but after a few minutes I got the hang of it.
You can even play online. I just played a game with a friend in a private room that we created, and I also played with a random opponent. Those who like to chat during play will he happy to know the option is there. I would like to see the ability to play online at your own pace like Wordfeud or Words With Friends. This may be possible because I have not spent a lot of time with it, but I doubt it.
Overall the graphics and controls are top notch. The developer really put a lot of thought into this game. I am not a big gamer, but I think it will keep my interest for a while. If you like to play pool you should definitely check it out.
Pool Break Pro is normally $2.99, but it is free in the Amazon Appstore for today only. Check out our apps database for more info or hit the source link to download.
