Ultimate 8 Ball offers 14 different games, including classic 8
ball (playable with both U.S. and U.K. rules), 10 pin, and killer pool.
For those novice pool players who don't know their speed pool from
straight pool, there is a helpful manual that explains the specific
rules for each game variation.
Multiplayer functions include
head-to-head and round-robin (for up to 15 players) competition. Solo
players compete against an array of characters like the Sayonara Kid
and Slim Chance, who dress the part of wacky pool sharks. You can
choose from pool tables in a variety of shapes, including diamond and
L-shaped tables, as well as the standard rectangular table. Strangely,
you can also select different textures and patterns, such as stripes,
checks, and argyle.
