  Smooth, simple and realistic gameplay. Lacking, Player creation and customization, leaving only to playing with existed real snooker players. No Pool tables, unlike WSC Real 2009 with created player, snooker and pool. Unable to rebind keys. Poor and Blind waits in Online functions, pointless and endless loading on the Search for a duel match, even when during the short monthly Online tournaments, Does gets boring ' waiting ' or playing on the same table eventually. Too many multi-client and flaming forum Pros around, had to stay up in the early A.M hours just to meet players, since most users are from the West, personally with casual attitude, lack competitive and eagerness to match. Singleplayer ; Decent experience playing as any of the existing characters. Online ; Player dced or hanged, game awarded to opponent despite leading. Stuttering and freeze, not sure is it personal system. After opponent's shot finished on the screen, suddenly the ball layout to different positions, in a split second. Occasionally crashed after prolonged playing while loading onto table. Had quite some issues regards to connectivity and latency personally from a different location and timezone than the rest. Finished 88% of achievements, last few may take too long and 100% trick shot seems impossible. bout time to wrap up the game. Overall Playable and addictive, Neutral Recommendation.

  So, if you like snooker, you will get some enjoyment out of this game. Pro's Realistic tables/balls/theatres Pretty good physics - I was impressed at how well they got the spin. Con's UI is awful - Terrible on PC and needs much more info for tournaments. No idea who is playing who and would be good to have the ability to see those matches. Monotonous commentary - tiny selection of vocabulary. Needs more here. Monotonous game play - but it's snooker, guess it can't be anything else. Don't pay full price - I waited for the sale and it cost around £10 - for that price, it's worth having for times when you are really bored.

  If you miss a single shot just give up, you aren't getting a second chance

  The first game I'll be refunding on Steam. I'd be satisfied if it had been 10 bucks, but 35 is too much for what it is. Fairly poor graphics, the 128 official players all play the same and can barely be identified without their name next to it. Can't really tell what it is, but the gameplay itself feels strange and unsatisfying. What bothered me the most is definitely the option to set up some balls and try some shots on a practice table.

  Okay, this is a tough one. [b]PROS[/b] + Slick menu design, reminds me of other sports games + Fully licensed pro tour + Decent physics, but balls seem to decelerate kinda strangely sometimes + Controls are optimized for controllers, but work fine with M/K, too + Arenas, tables and balls look good enough + Commentators aren't too annoying, sound design is okay-ish overall. Hard shots need to have more "chunk" to them. [b]CONS[/b] - How can you have a career mode without the possibility to make your own player? - Players move stiffly and look like they've been imported from WSC Real 2009 - Whoever thought that having a bright WHITE screen flash between shots is a good idea, should be fired. Please patch this, it's an easy fix and really annoying right now. I'm sensitive to brightness, the flashing really puts strain on my eyes. - Unskippable AI shots could become tedious after a while. At least make the fast forward thingy faster. - No fine tuning for the camera settings? - No overhead view? Come on. - No practice mode? - No challenges / trick shots? - No way to adjust gamma? - Haven't tried the multiplayer yet, I will edit my review once I've done so. [b]SUMMARY[/b] Definitely overpriced, 15€ would be reasonable right now. I've decided against refunding it, because I do hope there'll be some fixes. If the devs won't adress the major issues, this one will be the only snooker game I've bought from them, which would be a shame, because there's definitely a need for a decent snooker sim on PC. (VP4 is okay, but its Snooker mode also has some problems.) Snooker 19 looks and plays like a glorified beta version. Sadly, there's no "meh" option. Stay away from the game right now, but check for updates. I'll keep playing it, because I really love snooker. [b]6/10[/b] (There's potential for an 8/10.)

  EDIT: I recently realised this is one of the top reviews for this game so I've crossed bits out that are patched :) I think it's decent, not brilliant, but still worth recommending to anyone who enjoys snooker. If you're a casual, I would wait until a few patches are out first Some points I have come across after 3 hours of playing: PROS: Nice camera angles like irl, so you can see where the ball is travelling (and know if it's going in or not) Nice looking table and balls Can see chalk marks Scoreboard UI is clean and reflects what is shown on TV Official licensing, so they have all the tournaments, arenas, players, statistics etc Can customise your player CONS: Cannot chalk your own cue? Or pick which rest you would like to use? All 128 players are in the game, but they are lifeless and have the same characteristics as each other. I want to see Trump smash balls in, or Ronnie using both hands to cue (and pick the better appropriate hand). Even the 2003 game to my memory had this feature. If they miss a ball, I want to see them react by shaking their head or slumping back to their chair. If they succeed in a tough shot, I want to see them punch the air or celebrate and look at the crowd. At the moment, they just gormlessly look at the table with the same face no matter what. AI are doing screw shots when the cue ball is on the cushion? The rest spikes morph into the table/cushions? [strike]AI when snookered have the ability to do random shots. I snookered the AI and it just aimed the white straight into the pocket? I spammed the retake button and it took 12 attempts until I just played on as it was clear they were never going to get out of it[/strike] [strike]If you have a massive lead against the AI, they do not concede .. why? We all have limited amount of time to play games, I dont want to be stuck in a useless end-of-frame because they are trying for snookers 60 points behind.[/strike] [strike]If you are aiming for a long distance ball, the "free camera" option doesnt even let you see the object ball you are aiming at. In real life you are not stuck to where you will strike the ball??[/strike] The character models need some improvement, all settings on Epic and i can see straight lines etc... its 2019 I am sure that they were rushed to bring this out, but I'm holding hope they will address some of these things

  This game comes from year 2000. It's a joke for this amount of money. To be honest: it feels like the bus simulators. I'm really disappointed. Back to Virtual Pool 4.

  It's an unfinished game. The physics are great and the gameplay is faithful to playing in real life but the visuals are absolutely shocking. This is early day's PS3 graphics and it's such a shame. I wanted it to be so much more than it is. I had to request a refund in the end, it's just not worth £29.99.

  Game really needs a practice mode, and to be honest it seems a bit bizarre that it does not have this basic feature. The tutorial lasts for about a minute and then you're thrown into match play. Would really like the chance to get a hang of things before starting any competitive matches as it would make things a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating.
