Reviews “Yes, it’s a pool game, and you could argue that there’s not much more to say beyond that. But pool is a rare sight on the PC, unless it’s of the top-down Flash variety, and this is a bloody good example of the form. ‘Hole in one’, as they say at the Crucible.” ROCK, PAPER, SHOTGUN ““In fact it could be the shiniest game to ever grace a console. Now as Pool Nation nears its North American debut, Cherry Pop Games shows that this is anything but a port to another console but rather an upgraded version that took everything that made the 360 version great and added even more.” 97/100 – Game Focus ““It’s easy to suggest that Pool Nation is the finest example of virtual pool... but to do CherryPop Games’ work justice it must be said that they have delivered what is in fact one of the best pool videogames ever to grace a console.”” 95/100 – Bio Gamer Girl System Requirements Minimum: OS: Windows XP, SP3/WINDOWS VISTA SP2/WINDOWS 7 Processor: Dual Core, AMD/INTEL 2.6 GHZ Memory: 2 GB RAM Graphics: 256 MB OF VIDEO MEMORY ATI RADEON X1600/NVIDIA GEFORCE 7600/INTEL HD 2000 OR HIGHER DirectX: Version 9.0 Network: Broadband Internet connection
