About this deal

Yes, it’s not particularly the fault of Snooker 19 on Xbox One– nor the development team for that matter – it’s just the way of society which will see those frequenting the online world taking any advantage they can. As a clean player, the occasional interruption is a worry. This game is different in that it is strictly a snooker simulation (no pool included), albeit one that is fully licensed with 128 face-scanned professionals. The character models range from realistic to hatchet job, but there can be no complaints when it comes to the variety of players included. Using the cushion becomes much more dangerous. You don’t want to leave yourself too low or high on the object ball. And likewise, a superb safety to baulk can be insufficient if the opponent has even the dodgiest of sights at a long straight pot. What Works Well Ball Physics Are Pretty Good

Anybody looking to improve their actual snooker play will enhance their knowledge of angles and deflections after a few hours on Snooker 19. That for us is a testament to the solid job done here. Break Building Feels Satisfying It’s infuriating to break down halfway to a century because you didn’t have the necessary view to sight an angle.It’s possible to walk around the table, but the camera feels like it’s strapped to a tortoise on Valium. This is the most authentic simulation of the sport ever created, with TV-style presentation and commentary, true-to-life physics and advanced artificial intelligence.

In real snooker, travelling the length of the table to snip a red 2 centimetres to either side would be fraught with danger.It’s so slow that it takes a good 20 seconds to do a full lap of the table. In a timed game (40 seconds per shot in tournaments), it’s not possible to do one of the most basic of tasks: view the table.

It is however in the online scene where things go awry though and constant matchmaking issues are a cause of concern, leaving you to second guess whether or not any online play will be happening. Should you get in then the community is pretty toxic too, not in a verbal way, but with many making use of specific break-offs that never keep in the spirit of the game. I guess early foul points against you in any match shouldn’t be too much of a worry and a clear mind will see you being able to bring your A-game to the baize, but it’s frustrating that little cheats and glitches have crept into the game. The PlayStation 4 has seen a number of popular cue sport games, including Pool Nation and Pure Pool. Create A Pro— There’s no option to build your own player or insert yourself (even by name) in to the game. The professional tour must be played through the guise of an actual professional. One suspects the developers have misjudged the demand for this rather basic feature… and it’s a glaring omission. Some users have complained about the aiming lines not extending beyond cushions, but we would strongly dispute the need for this.

Whether it’s the World Championship at the Crucible, or the Masters at Alexandra Palace, each venue is faithfully replicated making for an authentic atmosphere. Snooker 19 Gameplay The most engaging of the Snooker 19 game modes is undoubtedly online competition against other players.

Lack of Camera Angles Is Disappointing

It’s difficult to replicate the physics of snooker balls. The possibilities from spin, power and various deflections add up to a real headache.
