We were also pleasantly surprised to see snooker thrown in there. A couple of points-based modes also offer some nice variation too.

Firstly, there are a bunch of pool modes for you from 9 ball, which as we said before is stupid, 8 ball US (which is okay but confusing), 8 ball UK (the best pool) and other variations such as 3 ball and killer, speed and golf (where you have to aim into specific pockets). To beef things up, Pool Nation does add a few things to mix things up.

Everything looks and feels just right, even down to the clackity ball noises which all feel authentic. The game only has one job to do and it doesnвЂ™t fluff its lines there at all. That particular tool was the reason why we were able to get a 147 break in that game but on the small tables here, putting it in would be like activating some sort of god mode and so weвЂ™re happy to see it isnвЂ™t there.ДЄside from that though, what else can you say about the core gameplay? ItвЂ™s slick, the physics are on point and the controls are decent. To counter this, the game doesnвЂ™t have the white ball position indicator that Snooker Nation had. Pool is odd like that, you can be absolutely cleaning up and then your opponent can just pot one ball and win. The physics feel spot on with no weirdness noticable from our untrained perspective although itвЂ™s a lot easier to send balls flying than it was on Snooker Nation, but not something that youвЂ™ll do often, and thatвЂ™s something that tends to happen in pool games anyway, especially when you blast the balls.Д«y default the AI is set to вЂabsolute idiotвЂ™ settings or вЂEasyвЂ™ as the game likes to call it and between that and the fairly generous aim assists, youвЂ™ll find it nearly impossible to lose frames unless you somehow leave the 8, or 9, ball on for the AI to sneak the frame. The game also lets you lock in your power, using, just like Snooker Nation did and this is a nice feature as it allows you to focus on aiming without having to multitask. You control your direction, spin and power just as youвЂ™d expect. The action on the baize is exactly what youвЂ™d expect, especially if youвЂ™ve played Snooker Nation or any other pool/snooker game since they went 3D. We like that Pool Nation has more tournaments and locations though as obviously the matches are shorter and by default a lot of the early matches are just one frame, which means that youвЂ™d absolutely fly through the career mode if they didnвЂ™t have more tournaments on offer. Snooker Nation was similar, albeit with just one tournament. ItвЂ™s a bit of a con because while you are meant to be in places like Hawaii, New York and Japan, the reality is that you are in a pool hall somewhere but even so, this is the career structure and you go to each country and take part in a big pool tournament, meaning that you have to go through qualifying and then all the rounds up to and including the final. Here you are tasked with winning tournaments in various, presumably exotic, locations.

The main menu feels a lot like Snooker NationвЂs, using panels (much like FIFA) to convey the options and offering a mix of gameplay modes, split across on and offline play) and customisation options for things such as ball sets, new table surfaces and so on. Either way this is, as youвЂ™d expect, the pool version of their snooker game.Д¬ertainly they share a lot in common beyond their physics engines.

Although, to be fair, Snooker Nation might actually be the later game as this one was released on Steam back in 2013 and appears to be much the same game as its PC counterpart. Well, Cherry Pop Games are back with Pool Nation. FIFA debates but back when PES was clearly the better game but FIFA had all the real players. While it lacked the licensed players and venues, we found it to be more fun than Snooker 19 but we did find quite a lot of snooker nerds disagreed with us which kind of felt like the old PES vs. It only feels like five minutes since we were reviewing Snooker Nation Championship which was one of two snooker titles to come out in close succession earlier this year.
