		World Championship Snooker 2004 is never going to win any 'game of the year' awards, simply because of the restrictions of the sport it depicts.
		However, joining the World tour, along with the other 129 ranked players is where the real work resides, with all the major tournaments and venues for you to compete in.
		As an improvement on World Championship Snooker 2003, this is a massive step forward with much better presentation, realism and more variety laid on the table - some Xbox Live action makes the game even more complete.

	World Championship Snooker 2003
		Here you create your own snooker player, customise his appearance, and embark on a journey to become the number one player in the world.
		The framerate is susceptible to dipping from time to time and although it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way, it is a little disappointing to see (this might not be the case with the Xbox and PC versions though).
		I suppose the main grumbles will be that the players could look a lot better and while it's true they could do, the professional players are recognisable, which is what matters.

		Snooker may not be as popular or create as much buzz in the mind of your average gamer as other sporting titles, but last year's World Championship Snooker 2003 proved that it could achieve quite a lot in the videogame world.

	World Championship Snooker 2002
		Having played snooker simulations in the past on a PC, I was impressed with games such as Virtual Snooker and the excellent use of the back and forth motion of the mouse to simulate the cue.
		The animation of the snooker players is the best seen since Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast.
		It's ability to appeal to all no matter what the ability of the player, is a rare quality and when coupled with the games superb attention to detail and accurate representation of the game it makes for a truly special title indeed.

		Whereas recent snooker games such as Trickshot and International Cue Club tried to recreate a friendly pub atmosphere in which to pot your balls, World Championship Snooker aims to follow in the steps of televised snooker.
		The championship is the main bulk of the game, and since each frame lasts a good quarter of an hour, it should take you a fair while to play through.
		While the balls are nice and shiny, the players are a bit square headed and sometimes exhibit inhuman movement.

		They are the only things that let the side down really, while FIFA 2004 manages passing facsimiles of the stars of the game, Snooker goes for a little more detail and still can't quite crack it.
		Setting them up is simplicity and depending on the level you play at you are offered a suitable amount of assistance in terms of predicting contact and ball direction.

	World Championship Snooker - Reader Review - GameFAQs
		World Championship Snooker is one of the best transitions of the game to the computer format.
		Unlike many PC versions of pool or snooker where you are reliant on a mouse to make shots (shudder), the PS controller is a huge help, and allows you to focus on planning your shots instead of focusing on not blowing everything.
		Even once you can thrash the amateur players, I promise you the pros will give you a run for your money almost every game, as they all seem to be real masters at ball spin and positioning the ball almost precisely where they would like it.

		However, while undoubtedly satisfying its core directive of an enjoyable, realistic snooker experience, we were hoping that the developers would have embraced Sony's 'gaming on the go' PSP mantra with a little more creative consideration.
		For the waiting player, who's left staring at the opponent's view of the table, this can make for an agonisingly tedious break in the action.
		At present, the snooker on offer in World Snooker Challenge is as accomplished as waistcoat-watching aficionados could wish for but, unfortunately, it's best suited to lengthy sedentary situations and not particularly compatible with the quick pick up, play and put down philosophy of PSP.

	Snooker: World Championship: Stevens Turns the Tables
		Beaten 18-16 by his fellow Welshman Mark Williams in the 2000 final from 13-7 up, he lost his 2001 semi to John Higgins 17-15, went down 17-16 to Peter Ebdon in the 2002 semi and, in the same round last year, was beaten 17-15 by the eventual runner-up Graeme Dott.
		The conventional wisdom may be that experience of the latter stages is an advantage but if those matches have ended in defeat it often seems to increase the pressure a player feels when his next opportunity arrives.
		Both players were ready to commit themselves to any reasonable chance even when failure was likely to lead to a few minutes in the non-striker's chair, as decisive efforts of 83 and 64 from Stevens, separated by 99 from McCulloch, saw the gap reduced to a single frame.

		In addition to the World Championships, players can compete in all the real tournaments of the snooker season, including The LG Cup, British Open, UK Championships, European Open, Welsh Open, Irish Masters, Player's Championship, The Masters and many more.
		A brand new "Classic Match" mode is also cued up for World Championship Snooker 2004, where players compete in the sport's most memorable historic encounters, including the epic 1985 final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor, when a cool 18.5 million viewers tuned in to see Taylor give Davis a wake-up call.
		And, of course, if the snooker pressure proves to be just a little too much, players can always try their hand at a game of 8-Ball or 9-Ball pool.

		Needless to say World Snooker presents you the tools and elements to achieve success and it is in the material of the joypad controls which is the central focus.
		There were a few gripes we could pick out - like the not being able to zoom in on a ball from a long shot to see both balls at the same time if they are at opposite ends of the table.
		The actual ball mechanics and physics from the shots we undertook give the impression of being nigh on perfect but we must say that the ‘aiming aid’ is exactly what it implies.

		World Championship Snooker 2003 is the follow up to various other snooker titles released previously on the Playstation 2.
		The table and its surroundings look quite good and realistic, the players however don’t look as good as I feel they should do, they do resemble their real life counter parts but not in a huge way, fans of the game however will still be able to recognise their heroes without too much trouble.
		The game overall is impressive, looks quite good apart from the players, is easy to get the hang of and plays very well, is very replayable and is a lot of fun.
