World Snooker Championship 2007 Description

Building on the success of Sega's 2006 snooker hit comes World Snooker Championship 2007. Boasting 104 world class snooker players, this title gives gamers the opportunity to play against some of the greats. Bring Ronnie O'Sullivan back to form or reduce current World Championship holder Shaun Murphy to cue-wielding rubble - it's your call. World Snooker Championship 2007 gives players a shot at ten official tournaments, all based around the 2007 season. Don't just expect a repeat of last years title with a few new names and faces, however. Developer Blade Interactive has introduced a whole new aspect to the franchise: pool. Added to the mix are some of pool's best players. You can compete against them across 10 tournaments, including the Mosconi Cup and the World Pool Championships. Also thrown in to expand on the series is Golden Cue mode. This will allow you to mix it up by switching cue sports mid-game and push your versatility to the next level. Blade has also taken some time out to enhance the existing gameplay mechanics. The cueball can be positioned with greater accuracy than in previous iterations of the game, allowing players to perform advanced safety shots for better defensive play. The create-a-player mode also returns with improvements, allowing gamers to customise their player before they rise to the top.

If you have played any other of these games in the series, then you know exactly what to expect, its the same game with slightly better graphics and a more in depth character creation mode. While the game is enjoyable, it feels the same to all the older WSC games. I got 100 achievement points in half an hour but thats the only advantage of it. 6 out of 10 for nothing new

I have never been into sports games, but i thought i would give this one ago and i was very disappointed by it. The graphics are reasonable and the sound effects of the crowd clapping etc are good, but it is the commentry and the gameplay that just lets this title down. As soon as you start the game you are expected to play at pro level cause there is no room for error and you can just sit back and watch the AI play the table if you make a mistake, you don't even have the option to dumthe AI down. You can upgrade your player to be better, but you cant get the points to do so because you have to qualify to get them. As for the commentry side of it John vergo just goes on and on and on; you have the option to turn them off, but then i found the ref doesn't count your breaks. if you are just wanting to get this for a few achievements or play against friends, then by all means get it as i did manage to get 130 points out of it, but it just got too frustrating to make it a long term enjoyment.
