  • The courses are unique and challenging;
  • Requires minimal Pocket PC storage space.
Cons:
  • The power of the shots are limited by the cue ball’s proximity is to the rail;

Summary:
Sword and Spirit Software's Miniature Pool 1.2 is an interesting combination of miniature golf and billiards. The playing surface has obstacles and angles that put a different wrinkle into shooting pool. The game features three nine-hole courses and each course has a different theme that is reflected in the types of obstacles and challenges posed to the player. The game is user-friendly and self-explanatory. Other than the sound of clicking billiard balls and an occasional voice-over, the game does not utilize much sound. The gameplay and animation is smooth, and the screens look professional.
