Herrje, what ridden me to buy this Game? Actually Billiards-but good, at the Sale price of 99 Cents you can say nix Evil.
The presentation of the Game is very nice, graphically quite appealing and the Tutorials very helpful to learn all the different Moves (I'm not talking about Mastering).
The Game itself is also easy to understand and the Control with the X-Box 360 (Wireless) Controller is well designed.
So, away from my personal Aversion to this Sport, I can't actually write anything Negative about this Game. So it gets a Recommendation from me-at least for the People who can do something with this Sport and like it too!

I bought this Game in the Sale, out of Boredom and because I used to Ril it in the RL. There are small Bugs here and there but at the first Update (.. Hope that there is one) which will be fixed for sure. The Graphics are very good, fresh & cool, beautiful and varied Venues. Skins for Queue (= the "Racket" ^^), for the Ball Sets and various table images are unlockable. There will soon be a Workshop. Multiplayer is open & Closed possible. The Sound is Ok. Maps and Achievements are there. It is not a pool simulator but rather "Arcade." The Control in the Game is (I think) very successful. You can aim precisely. Single-player "Campaign" isn't missing either. Dialogues are well translated and sometimes funny. And all for 0.99 Cents. Screenshots of this have been uploaded. DLC's Are also expected to be out soon. I only wonder, if already half Arcade, why not equal GANZ Arcade?...
BUY IT!
8/10

I bought the Game in Oct. 2013 and saw there is supposed to be a "Box of Tircks"!
I wondered when, because 3 months after my purchase nothing had happened except for a few little fix ' it!
Now over a year later (Nov. 2014) there are really the "Box of Tricks" and it is really minimalist, there are, I believe 8 different Ramps and Boosters, I got really Verar5cht feeling where I have seen this, But a Look at the Shop side of Pool Nation has me then Ver Sup that you have to buy the other Ramps and Boosters first (5 DLC's), although the "Box of Tricks Teaser" shows all The Pips and Boosters!
For me, this is a depiction of false Facts or Even Misdirection Furthermore, I was surprised today by a message from my Antivating Progam: Object: Pool.exe Path: [...] * Steam\steamapps\common\Pool Nation Status: Virus Found Virus: Trojan.Generic.12213462 I don't have to Say anything else?
Because of the things that it took over a year for the "Box of Tricks" update and this update contains more DLC Than it was an update and I can't recommend this Game any further!
