Real Pool, known in Japan as EX Billiards (EXビリヤード, Ekkusu Biriyādo), and in Europe as International Cue Club, is a video game developed by Astroll for the PlayStation 2. This is a retooling of a Microsoft Windows and Mac OS game, also called Real Pool, which was published by WizardWorks in August 1998.[2]

A sequel to the game, called Real Pool 2, was released for Windows in 2002.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3] Mike Wolf of NextGen said of the game, "The uninspired play control and average game modes make this one pool game to avoid."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.[7] GamePro said earlier that the PC version "offers games of 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Straight Pool, Rotation, Carom Billiards, and Bumper Pool, and at first glance, it looks hot. Too bad it feels about three years out of date."[15][a]

The game sold 200,000 units in the UK in 2005.[16]
