I was rejected every time I offered someone a game. Another option being heavily promoted by Bulldog and the game's publisher, Midas Interactive , is Virtual Chat. This allows you to talk with computer opponents in all game modes, though it's obviously most appropriate in Chat Room play. Just hit F7 and type away. As expected, this feature isn't very highly developed.
Opponents respond appropriately only about once every seven or eight messages typed.
They'll often come up with generic curses about a shot just missed, say less than witty things about you needing a translator, or simply say nothing at all. The game's lone significant flaw is a fixed camera angle directly above the table. Unlike most other pool games on the market, Cue Club forces you to play looking straight down at all times. Even the most rotuine banks remained nearly impossible to execute after more than a week of play. Aside from this admittedly large problem, the control system in the game works quite well.
