It took some time to realize the best way to use the controls. Use 2 hands and place one thumb on each side of the cue stick. To move one way, press and hold one thumb and vice versa. The graphics are good though the UI does not feel like a native iPhone app should. The character animation is great. The environments are cool. I saw some performance hiccups here and there. Finally, the friction coefficients between the main table surface and the balls is way too high... The balls slow down way too quickly. I applaud the inclusion of english and draw, etc.

There are a lot of pool apps but this one has the most depth & best gameplay. There are some minor issues that will probably be fixed in an update and the graphics are a little blocky, but the game is really good. Controls are easy once you get used to them, the power bar is nice and easy to use & the angling, English and aiming are well done. This game shows they took a lot of care making a good pool simulation. Definite good buy.

I dig pool and I was hoping Gameloft would release their Midnight Pool game on the iPhone. Touch capabilities are what really make games worth it and I'm glad they were able to implement it with this game as well. I like being able to control the power range and stick placement with the touch of my finger. Great game! I highly recommend it for pool fans out there.

My buddy & I played this for the last 5 hours. Definite replay value. The 2 player mode is a lot of fun & more competitive than the other modes. 3 different modes: 2 player, story, arcade. 4 different rules: 8-ball – US, 8-ball-UK, 9-ball & challenge.

There are multiple game modes available to play and I love that. 9 ball is a lot of fun and to find it included here was a great bonus for me. I like the challenge mode, it’s really tough getting a lot of those tricks down so it certainly lives up to the name. The graphics aren’t the most amazing that I’ve seen but they still are decent enough.

Save ur money. They obviously have not debugged this. I have yet to play it without it locking or just stopping. The reviews are bogus! Beware buyers this is NOT ready for prime time.

I wasn’t expecting much, let’s put it that way. I was proven wrong. This game is VERY impressive. There’s a story mode, a regular game play mode, a 2 player mode, and a challenge section for all those crazy tricks! I was not expecting this much variety with such a simple pool game idea. So far story mode has been great, I love the traveling and the character stories, some of them have given me a good chuckle. This game is definitely one of the best I’ve purchased and has been keeping me entertained.

This game has it all, 8 ball, 9 ball, 2 player mode, challenge mode, story mode, etc. I’ll be on this game for hours! Of course I wish the price was lower but that’s the only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating. Excellent game!

I’m quite happy with this game purchase. I haven’t played a pool game in awhile and this one so far is a lot of fun. I really like the challenge mode. Some of these tricks I always wondered how to do and now I can sit and practice them here and hopefully start using them during story mode.

For me, I am calling an even tie between Gameloft's 'Midnight Pool' and Celeris 'Virtual Pool'.

Here's a game that anyone can play. The game has a help section to explain the rules and touch screen movements, along with a decent amount of "easy" opponents to start off with. I like a game where anyone can pick up and figure out how it works and enjoy it.

Here's a fun pool game that anyone in the family can enjoy. Easy story to follow and fun touch screen capabilities. As a pool game it's simple and still great to play. A good 4 star game.

There’s a two player mode for this game! Now I can bother my friends to play this with me once I’ve completed all of story mode for myself. I like the feature of being able to compete with friends. Great job!

I recommend this game to those pool fans out there. I think this game does a really good job of adding some variety. They give you different game modes such as regular 8 ball and 9 ball along with a challenge mode for some popping tricks. I'm still messing with this game and still getting a handle on the controls but I'm really enjoying the experience.

8USD spent for a bad product, what a bad day! A very bad port of a Nokia game for Iphone. Apple should look more at filtering such sh.t

Don't be fooled by bogus reviews. I bought this game and it's nothing more than a useless $5 icon on my iphone. I have yet to see this game past the initial start up screen, it freezes and auto closes everytime I start it up. Think twice before considering this app. Definitly not worth the $ and hassle.

The graphics and animation on this application are stunning. The only complaints I have are ball motion and aiming. 1: The ball motion is not not correct, The ball stops before it should. Also there is a visable trailer when the ball is moving. 2 : Aiming the cue does not work properly. The cue doesn' t move smoothly, it is very differcult to get it in the correct position. If these 2 items can be addressed game play would be greatley improved.

This is the worst pool on the iPhone, like always Gameloft is making false advertising saying they are number one when the pool has just been released. But the worst is this game crash and is badly designed, ok they have good graphics but the pool physics is bad and the controls are badly designed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS POOL OR PUT 8$ ON THE TOILETS!

very....nice :D

Midnight pool is definitely one of the better pool games out there. It may not be the best graphics wise but I was still really happy with the look of this game. I love the camera angle change, that comes in really handy when I have to be careful with a shot maneuver. The handling of the stick itself took some getting used to but becomes easier the more you play.

A fun game to purchase

This is probably the best iPhone pool game right now. The only problem, and it's minor, is that there is only one useful camera angle

I found this pool game and I think it’s one of the better pool apps on here. It’s got some movements with the pool stick that took me a little getting used to but since I’ve gotten it down the game is really enjoyable. I like the pressure sensor when hitting the stick :)

The game is good, I like the graphics and the two player mode. But it still has issues that I hope will be fixed in the next update. It's a little slow sometimes and you have to get use to the controls. There is a tutorial, but I wish it were more explicit.

They're very close with this one, but no cigar. Nice graphics to be sure, but animated characters and their responses to shots aren't necessary. Also, i wish the viewpoint wouldn't fly-out after each shot to see the entire table...again not necessary or desired. The pool table would have to be characterized as "extremely slow", as balls come to stop much too early!

Hey great game but there are definate speed issues which make animations strange and control wacky. Please fix. I feel slighted about it.

This billiard game is awesome. Perfect. Those who have a negative feedback they were wrong. I encourage everyone to get this game, it easy, just concentrate on the ball and know the menu function and your like playing in a true billiard. Thanks to all programmers.
