Maximum Pool is a very good game that will probably be overlooked this christmas season. It offers a bunch of classic and new pool games. Best of all, you can play them all online against other Dreamcast players or PC players. The classic games are, Carom Billiards, Snooker, 8 ball, 9 ball, Rotation, Cutthroat and Basic Pocket Billiards. The new games are, Rocket Ball, Chameleon Ball, Mad Bomber, Poker and 24 cents. The new games can also be played on some differently shaped tables you unlock by beating the computer players. The computer AI is good, but not impossible to beat. Try it out, you might be surprised.

Maximum Pool is a great pool game for any system!

Maximum Pool is worth the time and money for all ages. It's very easy to learn. I like the comments of Jim, Amy, Linda, and Buddy, although Brad is a bit rude! This game has 7 games. When you beat each of the characters in the highest level, you unlock 5 more games. Then to unlock 5 new shaped tables for the 5 new games, beat them in the highest level again. My favorite game is the unlockable 24 cents. It's very addictive, and if your being crushed by your opponent, you caneasily comeback by sinking dimes and the quarter. The graphics and the realistic play are unbelievable. You can either use guidelines or not. What cracks me up is when the woman screams sometimes when the ball flies
off the table. I really don't know why I didn't give this 5 stars. Maybe it's just not perfect, but extremely fun indeed!

10 minutes of fun

I have recently bought this game, and i was really thinking it was going to be fun. I like pool, when I personally play, but the game plays the game for you. It is not a challange, and after 10 minutes you will put it away and move on. My suggestion is to save your money and by something that you know you will enjoy!

Very lifelike, but not as much entertainment as expected.

I must say, a very well job done with the graphics of the balls, tables, and maybe even the cue sticks. You can set up the ball to go almost precisely where you want it to in 7 different games. You can easily unlock 5 more and get even more. Billiards is fun, the rocket launcher is fun, and the 24 cents game is fun and the graphics are all incredible, but the rest, we need a little more entertainment. But still, it's the only pool game found on Dreamcast and you probably couldn't make it much funner than this, anyway, so, a good bargain it is.

Great!!

Maximum Pool is actually a really well done pool game, and it deserves more attention than it gets. There are 7 game variations, including 8 and 9 ball, as well as snooker, so there's a lot to choose from.

The game physics are top notch, with realistic collision detection and ball weight, so it plays like real pool. The biggest plus of getting this game today, is that it is still playable online! Maximum Pool allows Dreamcast users and PC users to play online together, and having a virtual pool hall is a lot of fun. In order to play Maximum Pool online, you simply need to download a modified game save file to your memory card, and that's pretty easy to do. Try it!
