The first very well playable billiards in a 3D environment. Most billiards are nicely crafted, but mostly boring. Although you can improve your knowledge of physics and calculate the angles and degree of reflection of a billiard ball, the game will start to bore you after a while. Sharke's 3D Pool came up with something new and brought fun to the game. You are in the game room, your opponents are different and you can bet on every match. The pace, spin and angle of each shot can be set up precisely before playing it. Both 8-ball (pot your seven colors plus the black to win) and 9-ball (pot the 9-ball with a shot that also hits the lowest remaining ball, whatever that may be) are included.

There are seven skill levels to work through. A trick-shot mode is also included, with 20 pre-set shots. Prior to each match it is possible to bet on the outcome.
