very poor game indeed i don't think an instruction book would have made any difference but it may have helped.

Well i had used to the 2005 version for the PS2 but when i put this in my ps3 via hdmi cable it was mind blowing. The graphics are great, the new help and support is amazing. Its not as slow as the ps2 version. Alsso idf you was very taking a shot and didnt know what to pick, it will help you take the shot with advise; I could go on and on but its amzing, try renting it and see what i mean.

Snooker, 8 ball and 9 ball pool, snooker plus, and billiards and bar billiards and trick shots....I could go on and on about the options that are on this game but that could take a while!

Play demo matches, or in season/career mode and for the first time you can either play a snooker OR a pool career or indeed hybrid, which mixes both together in one tournament, or Golden Cue which is a hybrid SEASON mode!

Ball physics are as usual spot on the mark and character likenesses are accurate. Your player as well as your opponent, will react emotionally every time there's a break built or a great shot played.

Okay so it's not the fastest paced game to play on your PS3, but the wide choice of options and modes will guarantee you won't complete this in a hurry and once you get onto the online options, the replay value should last for ages and ages.

I'm not really a big snooker fan at all but I do like pool and have been looking for a good Pool game for my consoles for a while without success. I thought this maybe the one but alas I was very disappointed. The graphics are quite good but that's about all I can think to say that's good about it. The things I didn't like in summary are:

* Computer too good ... in some games you can miss one shot and the computer will proceed to clear the table!

* Background 'ambiance' annoying ... once set of ambient sounds has a high pitch noise at one point and the whole track loops about every 45 seconds ... fortunately you can switch off ambient sounds

* Online game isn't! I tried a few times to search for online games and found none!

* Strange rules ... I have never played 8 ball pool where you must declare the ball and pocket for every shot ... the game forces this and won't let you switch it off

* Aiming can sometimes be difficult ... the camera doesn't make it very easy to see where the ball is aiming towards when the ball is in certain places

* Camera sometimes tracks the ball but then moves back to show the player when it nears the pocket so you are never quite sure if it's gone in or not!

I'm sure if you are into snooker the game would be of interest to see the players and locations but it wasn't for me I'm afraid.

I love snooker I enjoy the game playing it and watching it on TV. so in thought I would like this game.

the controls are poor, graphic ok, game play poor.

don’t even bother wasting your time ordering it. I received it Saturday morning sent it back Saturday afternoon.
