Virtual Pool 4

The difficulty of this game seems to get worse with every update, and every time players mention the ai characters playing like aimbots the developer seems to double down on it and make it worse. To show just one example, playing a bowlliards career against the tall steve character the ai character started with a 9 and then didn't miss another ball for 7 turns, before i quit. This sort of difficulty makes the game unplayable, and users cannot tweak it. To make it worse, the aim assist system is buggy. The virtual ball frequently disappears for obviously pottable balls. I have had enough of waiting for all of this to be dealt with so this review will be the result. Please make the difficulty more reasonable or allow users to tune it, and please fix the aiming bugs.

Excellent game!! Even years after its launch, it’s still maintained and regularly updated. Amazing work, guys! Thank you.

Still one of the best pool games around. I have played many others and always come back to this one.

If I had to pick just one game, Virtual Pool 4 would be the one.

most of the time during my turn, the default aim always go to the outside of the table where there is nothing to aim at, making me always need to turn a 180 degree back onto table which is very fustrating and also giddy.

VP4 still has no real competitors in 2026. It is a highly realistic simulation, with a ton of game rules, educational material and campaign modes on top. You could spend a lifetime playing this without getting bored. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That said, it still receives substantial updates a decade later. This is Celeris's whole portfolio, and has been for 30 years; not a one-off from some fly-by-night game developer. This is the MS Flight Simulator of billiards. It runs at 120+ FPS at any resolution on a potato and looks fantastic. Every other pool game I've seen or tried has poorer physics, poorer controls, poorer performance, and fewer options. It appears the few competitors that exist want to skip the hard stuff and compete primarily on either the multiplayer experience (something I personally have not tried and have no interest in it), or graphics. On the latter point, believe it or not, there is not much room for improvement: the fact that billiards shapes are mostly mathematical primitives like spheres, planes, and cylinders makes rendering this stuff realistically trivial, they are what GPUs are designed around; slap some nice textures and good lighting on, and there is very little room for graphical improvement. The more "modern" titles use a lot of post processing, environments, and other gimmicks to "sweeten" the look, but this always comes at an unjustified cost to performance and comes across as more "theatrical" than "realistic" (and to my eye it often makes everything look like it's coated in Vaseline and sitting next to a fog machine). I would choose the clean look of VP4 every time, and high framerates are far more important for realism in a game like this than all those gimmicks, anyway. There are certainly improvements that could be made to the UI and other ancillary aspects of the game. More game rules, campaign options, and exercises are always possible and welcome, even though they are already exceedingly copious. But no other game comes close; VP4 is still worth double or triple the asking price, and is unlikely to be superseded by anything but VP5.

Everything is quite accurate i would just like to play online where it doesnt want to start up

While the game play is okay, the scoring leaves a lot to be desired. If you lose one game and then win three games needed to win, you come away with fewer points than what you started with. Excuse me??? You won 3 times as many as your opponent. Why do you now have fewer points?
