  1. Fantastic
    by Toothy76, United Kingdom - May 25th 2013

    Snooker games can be hit or miss depending on the physics and camera angles. This game is fantastic in both areas. If you understand snooker from the point of view of spin and angles you will get hours of fun break building without it being too easy. The sound and presentation are first class. Considering the price , this has to be one of the best games I have purchased from Mac Game Store.

  2. Keeps Crashing
    by ClevelandRocks, USA - Feb 12th 2013

    I downloaded the game and played for a day, it was fun. Got to my second tournament and everytime I try to play the game a complete crash. I removed the game and re-installed it, same thing.

  3. Big Break!
    by Stringbean, United Kingdom - Jan 28th 2013

    Good game. The graphics are very nice indeed and the snooker table looks soooo realistic. There are 3 types of surfaces. Slow, Medium and fast. Relistic ball bounces when hitting cushions with nice sounds when balls collide. You can play against the A.I which gives you a choice of 8 levels of hardness from level 1 being the easiest but still giving you a challenge. Or, you can play a game with a 'Real' human opponent on the same computer.

    There is Online Multiplayer as well but I haven't tried that yet. You can simply enjoy your own relaxed practice matches where you don't have an opponent or you can have 'Quick Games' against A.I (or human) and set the number of frames. Then there are the big Tournamant Matches where you can win Cups and improve your ranking. I've just won my 1st Round (2-1) at Sheffield, I'm now in the 2nd Round. It's all good fun and addictive,…just one more game lol.

    There is a 'Stats' Table showing you your match wins, highest breaks etc.

    There is a bug I've come across. If you snooker your A.I opponent behind one of the colours, the A.I gets confused and cannot get out of it. It will keep doing the same shot for three turns thus forfitting the frame to you. You could keep snookering and building your Frame points and win. Maybe the A.I can get out of snookers on it's more experienced levels but I haven't tried. Anyway, that doesn't spoil the overall enjoyment of this game.

    PS,..Don't forget to 'Chalk' your cue before each shot otherwise you will miss.
