Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
When Josh learns that he is great at billiards, Drake realizes he can make some money off of it. His plan is to tell people Josh is bad at the game, then bet people he will win. They will, of course, bet that Josh will lose, and be forced to give their money to Drake. Pool table with cue ball, object balls, cue stick, and rack Billiards is a game played on a table with low rubber boundary around the edges, small balls, and a stick or cue used to push the white ball into other balls. ...
This goes on for a while, until Josh discovers what is going on. He vows never to play pool again.
Later, when the boys are walking to a shop to buy their mom a birthday present, they pass a pool hall. Josh tells Drake to follow him in, and that they will try the gambling thing again. They bet two large men $200 that they will win, even though they just were trying to prove how bad they were. They win the bet, but the men are on to the trick.
Just when Drake gets worried he is about to be beat up by the men, Josh reveals that the men are his camp counselors and it was all a trick to give Drake a taste of his own medicine.
"PoolShark features a dozen or more pool halls in which you can play, each with a distinct appearance and style, from traditional halls, through casinos to a room that looks like it was yanked right out of an early level of Half-Life.
The AI is, unsurprisingly, not up to that of a good human opponent, and, like Virtual Pool 2, you'll see the it making some suspiciously good 'out of character' shots (though perhaps not so many as in VP 2).
Control is much the same as all pool games these days -- right-click while moving the mouse to rotate your aim, left click and pull/push the mouse to make the shot.
PoolShark 2 is set to become one of the most realistic Pool games with Blade interactive's latest iteration of their realistic physics engine.
But PoolShark is not merely a pool sim as it puts the "cool into pool as your opponents will challenge you to hustle in their own unique environments.
PoolShark 2 features various tables in 10 different locations, each significantly different in style, color of the cloth, speed of cushions and quality of the table.
