If a PC game title ends with a digit, there’s a good chance it is a sequel. Yet in the case of Infogrames’ latest pool simulation, that axiom is only partly true. Although Real Pool 2 is indeed the sequel to Real Pool, the original never did see the light of day as a PC product and was instead released only for the PlayStation 2 system. Perhaps that’s why its successor lacks much of the sophistication found in practically every other PC pool game of the last half-decade. Real Pool 2 may offer pretty graphics and tolerable ball action, but it comes up short in so many other areas that it cannot be heartily recommended to enthusiasts of either the real-life or virtual pastime.
Real Pool 2 features just four varieties of pool.
In Real Pool 2, developer Groove Alliance has pieced together a rather rudimentary package that is neither deep enough for veterans nor instructive enough for rookies. The game features just four pool variants–eight ball, nine ball, straight pool, and one pocket–a less-than-grand total that absolutely pales in comparison with the 20-plus alternatives offered by Interplay’s far superior Virtual Pool 3 or Expert Pool, Psygnosis’ ancient 1999 release. Worse still, it permits almost no customization to game settings, thus compelling you to adapt to a fixed ball speed, fixed table characteristics, and just one set of rules. This is a particularly vexing problem for those who are accustomed to playing real-life pool under certain guidelines or on a certain type of table. For example, anyone accustomed to a fast table will likely be disappointed that all Real Pool 2 surfaces are identically slow and sluggish. Likewise, those schooled in the no-fluke variety of eight ball, wherein every shot and pocket must be called in advance, will be astonished to find that their computer opponents can sink balls any way their circuit-driven digital hearts desire. Right up until the eight ball, that is, which is the only ball that ever needs to be called.
