A nice little mobile time sink but the presentation of snooker is relatively lazy and lacking in any real sophistication. It’s an arcade game after all, but I would prefer it was somewhat more steeped in realism.

Potting is far too easy as the pockets are essentially pool pockets. This makes long pots relatively simple meaning you have no great incentive to keep the cue ball well controlled, which after all is the essence of snooker. On cue ball control, it rarely reacts off the cushion in the way it should and this means that the levels requiring you to avoid obstacles become a bit of a case of hit and hope. I would rather miss a long pot due to too much or too little power or unecessary side than lose position because my cue ball went off the cushion in a way it would not in real life.

As with all mobile games it suffers from paid add ons and time limits. I would rather just pay a fee for the game and not have to suffer this constant intrusion myself but this is clearly the business model they prefer.
