3D Live Snooker Demo

Snooker is quite similar to pool and all of its variations, but the rules are much stricter, and it is a bit more difficult to get good at it. In essence, you are required to perform much more accurate shots, especially since each one you take has to target a specific ball. Not only that, but there is a point system in place as well, which means that you need to keep track of it in order to declare the winner.

3D Live Snooker is a simulator that allows you to enjoy the game from the comfort of your own home, either with your friends over a local network, or a computer-controlled opponent. Regardless of your choice, the game tries to simulate the sport as faithful to reality as possible, which means that you may need a bit of practice before you get good at it.

Not only that, but there are also different modes to choose from, depending on how you want to enjoy the matches. As such, if you are in a hurry and you do not want to lose too much time, you can choose the short mode, which features only ten red balls. The rest of the game is played the same, however, so it’s still pretty difficult to finish on top. On the other hand, the number of points at the end of the match is obviously smaller.

There are some gameplay problems you might stumble into, but none of them is very annoying. Hence, the camera is a bit tricky to maneuver, especially since you can never position it as you desire. You may miss a shot or two because of the view angle, but it’s an inconvenience you can learn to work with over time. Thankfully, the controls are responsive and accurate.

Speaking of which, the physics engine is pretty convincing, at least if you are not a hardcore fan of the sport. The balls move smoothly around the table, responding quite accurately to your input. To top things off, the graphics are not bad at all, especially not when it comes to the balls and the table itself. However, the surrounding environments lack detail, and the textures are horrible to look at.

Even if you are not a huge snooker fan, 3D Live Snooker can provide you with quite a bit of fun, at least if you are up for a challenge. The camera problems may prove to be a deal-breaker for some, but the rest of the game is good enough to merit a few hours of your time.
