I love to play pool, I grew up playing it. I don’t have a pool table in my house right now, but I will soon. In the meantime, I was able to use this as my pool table and had a ball. And it’s amazing to think that this is just the first - version I can’t wait to play online with my friends

I guess, unlike other reviewers, I am a complete novice at any pool game. That said It seems like there is a control missing when the opponent scratches. It just simply places the ball arbitrarily and you have to take the shot from wherever the game places it however, if you scratch the game allows the other player to just place it wherever they want which allows them to set up the shot optimally. In addition, the controls are a bit squirrelly. Apparently, at random, it will adjust the aim point on its own and one time took a shot while I was just walking around the board. It is very easy to initiate a pullback, unintentionally and difficult to cancel it, which can result in undesired shots as well. All that said, it is very impressive and quite convincing. I keep trying to put my hand on the table to brace myself.

The graphics and physics are very good, and once you understand that it’s not really pool but rather pool played with a shuffleboard gesture, and you learn the subtleties of how to use this gesture, the game plays well for solo play against the virtual opponent. And the “ghost ball” and “aim line” are helpful aids for learning. On the down side: * Sharing a game doesn’t work. Regardless of the table settings of both users, it always plays 9-ball with a brown table. For example, it’s impossible to share a game of 8-ball with someone. * If you ever accidentally touch your thumb and first finger together, it considers this a shot and hits the ball wildly. The only way to play without this problem is to be very conscious about keeping your first finger and thumb apart unless you are taking a shot. * The table tends to unexpectedly forget where you anchored it, even in bright light. * The game disables the AVP environments, as well as the new hand gestures that were added in AVP OS 2. * The “game line” aid works for straight shots but not for bank shots.

Decent visuals and a pretty good game of billiards but everything with regard to UI and UX is super clunky. This reminds me of first generation iPad apps when things were overpriced and UI was extremely simple and not quite thought out. You should be able to scale the table at any size that you want, manipulate it with hand and eye tracking from anywhere, and things like the app crashing when you close the tutorial or accidentally close the main menu mid game absolutely needs to be fixed. There is a ton of basic system text on default windows, with an OK game of billiards if you don’t mind suffering through the limitations. I see many other games doing this better in a short amount of time if this app isn’t updated and modernized a bit more. Glad we have a fun game of billiards on the platform, but everything needs to feel like it was built with the Vision Pro’s strengths in mind.Pulling for ya, devs!
