Review:

From the point you see the "green lawn" of the snooker table, to the chairs, bottles , and dart boards , the environment feels really inviting. I find this really important , and like the idea that the creators took the time to add these things.

I have never played snooker , but I like to play pool. And I can say this game has a really good physics model. Balls fly where they should and how they should.
The angles are great , because sometimes you need the cue ball on a strategic position, for the next shot. The computer difficulty is good
and adaptable . Which ensures I wont be playing against Ronnie O'Sullivan . As all things in life , you need to start from the start. You don't need a sadistic computer to bust your will to be the best snooker player. =)

Help is short and to the point , you see the controls, and the rules. Everything needed to play the game. The rules are in the manual, which is kinda short, and I am a real manual freak , and I adore how to guides. But I guess internet is so rich with snooker information that it doesn't matter that much.

The game start easily , and fast. There seems a problem with the game, when you have a windows live messenger on. When you get a notification that someone is online the game start to lag big time. I mean you need to shut down the messenger. A little problem no biggie as I use messenger sparingly .

Conclusion:

A very small game that hooks you right on, and you find yourself wasting hours and hours . But then, why shouldn't you?
