3-D Ultra Cool Pool has both standard and imaginative modes of play. There are your usual modes such as 8 and 9 Ball, but there are also new ways to play on the table. These games consist of 24 cents, Mad Bomber, Chameleon Ball, Poker and Rocket ball. The special game modes can also be played on tables that are different from the classic rectangle. Although there are made up, crazy modes of play, the physics are realistic and true to life.
