Lightning Pool Review (Web-based)

Age Rating: Unrated. Probably a 7+.

What is it?

Single-player 2D pool with time limits and crazy things you should avoid or hit to make things interesting.

Is it fun?

Yes. Strangely addictive.

Is it worth the money? Free!

Yes, but only coz it’s free.

Why?

It would be lots of fun if there weren’t so many spinning, whirling ads on the page. Oh and the music and sound effects were quite obnoxious as well, though I just turn my speakers off. It’s still kinda fun.

You’re supposed to avoid things on the table but there’s no option to add spin to your shot. On the bright side, the cursor makes it pretty easy to aim your shots if you know what you’re doing.

Finally, when I tried to register in order to submit my high score it crashed my browser :(

Entertaining for a while but the ads are so annoying that I wouldn’t go back.

Links: (optional, though at least the official site would be nice)
