This has just been released on PS2, Xbox and PC, it looks quality aswell.

Fan’s favourite, John Virgo’s trickshots mode, has been updated to include both snooker and pool trickshot challenges.

Any of those shots from the ps2. I think my mates played it on the x-box said it was quality, me and him used to have 32 frame match ups on the old one 2002? Classic match mode looks good, they should do this for all sports games !

 

[Gary G]

I got those from the official site, I'm not sure which format those screenshots are taken from, I've got 2003 aswell, one of my favourite games.

The screenshots below are definitely PS2 though:

 

[razor]

have you got it?

 

[Gary G]

Not yet I haven't, I'm going to buy it on Wednesday, I'm going to see if Blockbuster have got it in so I can rent it tonight.

 

[razor]

if you get it tell me whats new from 2003.

 

[Travis Bickle]

I can't tell from that pic, but has Ronnie got that stupid alice band in his hair and does it have all the stupid hair cuts all the snooker stars have these days.

 

[razor]

i think hunters alice band looks cool

 

[Gary G]

Hunter isn't in the game for some reason

Blockbuster haven't got the game in yet, but i'm still going to buy it

 

[Travis Bickle]

Hunter isn't in the game for some reason

Probably gonna release a "Paul Hunters Snooker" game where you get have stupid hairstyles talk in a squeeky voice and have sex with your girlfriend in the dressing room during the interval.

 

[Paul B]

I'll probably get the game myself (for PS2) in a couple of weeks or so, looks great.

I've got World Championship Snooker for the PC, which is good.

This is online as well isnt it, and I've been planning on getting a network adapter at some stage.

 

[Gary G]

Yeah it is online, although I don't have a network adapater either.

I think it's a great game, the classic match section is a good addition, the players also look more lifelike than before

 

[ChelseaDave]

i had the first one on the PS1 and it was a quality game. Still, Jimmy White's whirlwind on the Amiga will take some beating!

I think Hunter is sponsored by Eidos - so I'd imagine there was a clause in the deal he signed. Damn shame cos he's a good player.

One thing new for the X-Box is custom soundtrack compatibility. Plus I like the 9 ball pool as well.


Mike.

 

[stevieboy]

I think Hunter is sponsored by Eidos...

Yeah, that's right.
Apparently he's releasing a game called "Womb Raider"
Ba boom!

 

[Paul B]

Saw the game in action on the PSM2 DVD yesterday and have promptly ordered it.

Looks amazing, has some great inclusions and of course, the classic soundtrack.

Saw the game in action on the PSM2 DVD yesterday and have promptly ordered it.

I'm exactly the same - except for the yesterday bit
Oh and except for the having ordered it bit

I really really want it it's just......I don't know whether I can spend that much on a snooker game (i do like snooker, it's the game bit - I'd rather just go round the corner and play actual snooker)

Anyway that aside it looks top class

 

[50!]

It looks really good! Im not sure about getting it though. I had a Snooker game on the PS1 and it was'nt that great. It was world championship snooker 2001 or something but it was really bad coz of that aiming thing. The graphics were appaling as well I might do what u did Gary renting it out first sounds like a good idea.
