Pool World Champ

Pool World Champ is a game of pool that primarily features variations of eight-ball. Players travel around the world challenging the top player of every city/location. In order to play against them, several challenges must be completed, such as sinking two balls in a game of eight-ball 4. The players progress through these challenges in a linear fashion (often with multiple paths) on the respective city's map, with the final goal of defeating the city champion. Sometimes there are barriers which block the player from advancing further and can be unlocked by offering specific items looted from other cities, such as a guitar from Nashville or chili from Cincinnati.

The pool mechanics are traditional eight-ball affair, with balls divided into stripes and solids, plus one that is entirely black, the eight-ball. The players must sink only their type of balls, decided by whomever sinks one first. They take turns on the table, remaining in control until they fail to sink a relevant ball. After all the balls in a player's assigned group have been cleared from the table, the black eight-ball must be pocketed in order to win the game. Pool World Champ offers several kinds of the eight-ball game simply by reducing the initial number of balls available. Another particularity is that players can attach special bonus-generating powers to their cues. Using powers spends charges. Additional charges can be earned by completing challenges, winning games and tournaments.
