8 Ball Pool By Shark Party app review: the best pool game in the App Store

Introduction

While reviewing apps it sometimes happens that I find an app that I am instantly so addicted to that I can’t stop playing. This obviously means that I suddenly realize that I still have to write a review and that I don’t really have time to play more! This was the case with the app I am reviewing now. For the last few hours I have been playing 8 Ball Pool By Shark Party, an online pool game with such great gameplay and unlimited opponents so you can play forever. The developer of the game has done such a great job that it’s hard to put down. The game is developed for both iPad and iPhone so you can take it with you wherever you go.

Gameplay

Gameplay is exactly how it should be for a pool game. You simply tap where you want to aim the white ball and you can then drag the marker to exactly where you want to hit the ball you’re aiming for. If you tap the white ball in the lower right hand corner you can give effect to the ball which will help hugely if you want to line up the next shot. When you’re happy and ready to shoot, simply drag the pool cue in the bottom of the screen back and you can exactly control how hard you want to shoot your ball. All of this together makes for a fantastic pool experience and makes it almost as fun as the real thing.

Graphics, Sound, and Game Modes

There is nothing much to say about the graphics. Don’t expect a full 3D experience, as this would in my opinion just make the gameplay less fun and harder to play. The sound is also what you would expect from a pool game, as you will just hear the sounds of the ball and sometimes the cheer of a crowd. The developer has added a few game modes beside the online play, which you will unlock as you progress through the ranks. There is a practice mode which is available quite soon after you start, though the local pass and play mode will only be available after your character hits level five.

• I have nothing bad to say about this game

Conclusion

For everyone who likes a good game of pool now and then, this is as close as you will get to the real thing. The online mode is very addictive and the pass and play mode is perfect for a multi-player game between you and a friend. The graphics and sound are nothing special, but this is a good thing as it keeps the gameplay pure. The app is designed for both iPad and iPhone and is just over 50 MB.
