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 and published by Takara and Infogrames in 2000, and by Midas Interactive Entertainment in 2003 for PlayStation 2. This is a retooling of a Microsoft Windows and Mac OS game, also called Real Pool, which was developed by GT Interactive and published by WizardWorks in August 1998.[1]

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

Reception[]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] Mike Wolf of Next Generation said of the game, "The uninspired play control and average game modes make this one pool game to avoid."[11] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.[5]
