World Snooker Championship 2007

I am not a shoot-em up player or car racer fan. I love games that I can get into easily and re-visit time and time again.

Like the real game of snooker, no two frames are ever the same. The gameplay is fantastic and the balls respond as well as I have ever seen in a pool/snooker sim. This is clearly where the majority of programming effort has gone - quite rightly. Beyond that, there are some annoying issues.

Occasionally you get your player or your opponent stood in the middle of the table and the referee(?) stood off to the side with his arms sticking out from his side. Another issue (that might be simply PSP related), is the battery strength indicator is over one of the pockets in ariel view and initially this makes it difficult to aim for this pocket accurately.

Away from the snooker game itself, the pool game has an annoying red circling indicator over the target ball making it very hard to play. I haven't found a way of turning this off.

Back to the game in general, it takes a long time to establish the game before playing it but well worth the wait when things kick off. One final niggle; after winning six frames in the championship mode, you get a challenge. Some of them are simply ridiculous.

All in all though, a very engaging game that has been almost permanently in my PSP for months. Great purchase at the lower price advertised here.

this is the first snooker game i have bought on the psp, i have to say that it is so far very good and impressive. Have always love the sport, so i think i have chosen right. A must buy for such a great cheap price.

im not even a snooker fan but i love this game! everything about it is top class
