world snooker championship 2007 on the xbox 360 great stuff.

Advantages: lots of snooker and pool to play.
Disadvantages: commentary gets repetative after a while.

...i have found world snooker championship 2007 on the xbox 360 to be a fantastic snooker simulation game. the commentary is good and the graphics are excellent and the controls are very straight forward basicly pick up and play. you can create your own character to use which is a good feature as it gives that sense of playing as yourself. the best feature of this game is the new positional play where you get a black circle showing you where the cue ball will most likely end up and making it much easier to plan your next shot, i found this makes the game way better than previous versions. although this has snooker in the title you can also play the pool championship either the 8 ball or 9 ball games are available to play. there is also a trickshot mode to play and online multiplayer mode too, if you like snooker then you will be...

World Championships Osaka

Advantages: Great event to be held and to be at
Disadvantages: The cheats of the port with send a dark cloud over the sport

...The world athletics championships in Osaka, what can I say. Its a great event for world class athletes to attend to show of their form. There has been lots of critisim from athletes to athletes about drugs in the event. I am a athlete my self and it a wonder how some athletes perform at amazing levels with so little effort I belive you have to work for the reward. I know people have natural talent but people have to work on this to be able to get to the best. I have read about kelly southerton crisising an athlete as she has been off and had a baby and has came back with very little training and got in the medals with the heptathlon. To be honest I cant see how this is achieved as of the break. I have curently been injured with a hamstring strain and rested for three weeks and have returned and it seems I have lost alot and will take me...

PDC World Championship Darts on PS2

Advantages: Licnenced Game of the PDC and can be 10 licenced darts players
Disadvantages: Poor Graphics , Repetitive Commentry , lack of Realism , lack of `customisation

...PDC World Championship darts is a half reasonable attempt for a first shot at a licenced game on the PS2. However there are lots of things that put this game down that could well be improved. First off the carear mode it just lets you be one standard darts player. There is a vey limited customation for your player eg a few shirts and theme song you can choose from but nothing to get you excited. The graphic quality for the PS2 isnt up to scratch. The graphics resemble more the ps1 than anything else. The players movements are not smooth and fluent like they should be and they all have the same standard action. Commentry is very repetitive how many times sid says you couldnt swing a badger in here is unbelivable. The players themselves dont seem to show any emotion when throwing darts. If they hit a 180 they have the same emotions as...

Athletics World Championships Osaka

Advantages: Great viewing, and some examples of excellent athletes
Disadvantages: Our solitary gold so far

...Well........the World Championships in Osaka are coming to a close but i can honestly say i have thouroughly enjoyed viewing the spectacle. As expected America have dominated the short distance races winning all but the womens 100m and 400m. With the men making it a clean sweep across 100, 200, and 400 meters. Veronica Campbell took the womens gold for 100m and i'm glad to say the womens 400m was dominated by the Brits with Christine Ohuruogu and Nicola Sanders winning our only gold and silver medals of the championships so far. Although this sounds great our only gold has come from an athlete who, as it currently stands, cannot go to the Olympics in Beijing next year because she has to serve a ban for missing not 1 or 2 ,but 3 drugs tests. This is being appealed with a decision to be made by the end of the month. With many...

World Championship Snooker

Advantages: The best snooker/pool game around
Disadvantages: can get boreing in 1 player

...A snooker simulation is nothing new. But one that plays and looks as lifelike as this certainly is. Glance at typical scene in World Championship Snooker and a double take is needed to check that it's not coverage of the real thing. There really hasn't been anything like it before, the amazingly detailed 3D graphics bringing every bit of the action to life, from the movement of the balls, to the rendering of the table and cue, right through to the darkly lit environment and even the snooker players. It's the latter that really provide the icing on the cake, their silky 3D forms walking around the table, taking the shots, and looking every bit like real players. In fact the game features twenty of the world's top players, including Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan, while the big name connections continue with the commentary, courtesy...

Disadvantages: Gameplay can be slow

...I bought this game when it finally came out for the Ps2 on march 16th 2007. I paid £17.95 for it as it was a deal of the week in Game stores.
