Pool Player Pro Online turned out to be a great success after its release. Pool Pro Online II is even better, with 2.2 million worldwide games played in only six months since its release.

Figures show this game as being one of the most appreciated
among common online mobile players. The greatest fan of Pool Pro Online II has played it more than 8,000 times. That sounds like a huge number of hours and great skills gathered in time.

The game is available at Namco Networks, one of the leading developers and publishers for wireless games. Moreover, it uses Qualcomm's BREW solution, which allows players to compete in a virtual pool hall. Pool Pro Online II offers several options for customizing their experience, by creating a personal profile and visiting the Pro Shop to purchase new pool objects, such as cue sticks, pool tables and backgrounds.

"Pool Pro Online II builds on the success of the original, making the Pool Pro Online franchise of games successful on the BREW solution and popular among wireless subscribers", observed Scott Rubin, vice president of sales and marketing, Namco Networks. Moreover, "he rapid success of Pool Pro Online II indicates that wireless subscribers enjoy games that provide them with the ability to customize their head-to-head mobile gaming experience".

Game results are added to a ranking which is continuously updated with new tournament results. This only adds to the challenge of the game as to compete against the scores of a large number of other players and not just with one at a time. Individual profiles for each player show detail on its skill, wins, losses and rankings. Moreover, players have the chance of building themselves a buddy list to keep track of their favorite pool buddies.

Pool Pro Online II is available for purchase on the Namco website.
