Even there are quite a few pool games (also called Pocket billiards) on the App Store, but Killer Pool is "the most realistic pool experience" available for the iPhone.
Killer Pool is developed by SD Games, the games development wing of Sauce Digital.
This game offers 5 different types of pool games such as the 8 balls, the 9 balls, the UK Black Ball (8 balls), Killer which is the classic multi-player game for up to 10 players and OctoKiller which is a customized version of Killer played on an octagonal table, where players eliminate each other by sinking their balls, with the last remaining player victorious.
In Killer Pool, you can play a single player that has a single match, a local competition or a world championship options, or 2 player game that you can choose the number of racks you want to play with your friend.
With the online multi-player capability that is offered by free iPhone game Adrenaline Pool Lite (iTunes link), Killer Pool become perfectly. The graphics are quite good. You can play the game in portrait as well as landscape mode, with the in-play sound of the game adds to the realistic experience of the game.
iPhone's multi-touch capabilities make possible to the user interface bcome quite intuitive and easy to use. You can set the direction in which you want to play a shot by moving the virtual cue with your fingers to the left or to the right across iPhone's touch screen.
With the simple up or down moving with your fingers, you can also change the view of the pool table. You can then use finger swipe or the power meter to hit the shot with the virtual cue. I was more comfortable with the second option. You also have options to hit spin shots or swerve. but they can get a lot sharper.
You can watch the demo video of the iPhone game in action to get an overview:
Killer Pool costs $2.99.
You can download it using this direct iTunes link.
