3D Live Snooker Review

3D Live Snooker is a fun and realistic snooker game that will keep you entertained for hours on end. There are several different types of snooker to play ranging from mini-snooker to full snooker. You can adjust the appearance of various parts of the game, from the pool table to the balls you use. You can customize the difficulty of computer opponents to find something that fits your skill level. You can even check out your best scores and try to beat them. This is a great snooker game from start to finish.

10 Different Snooker Types

You start the game by selecting which type of snooker you want to play. There are ten different types of games to play, such as short snooker and full snooker. Once you select a game, you can choose other options. For example, you can name the computer opponent and adjust their difficulty, or play against another player instead. The variety of game types to select from adds a lot of variety and helps keep the game fresh, although the selection is a bit limited.

Quick Play or Network Play Options

There are two modes of play in 3D Live Snooker. Quick Play lets you take on a computer opponent or a friend in one of three different snooker games. You play the game you select continuously, while the wins and losses for each player are tracked by the game and shown on the screen. The other mode is Network Play, which gives you the option to take on a friend via a Network. However, you'll need their IP address to be able to play a game against them.

Difficulty Settings

When playing against a computer opponent, there are five different difficulty levels to choose from. These settings let you make the computer opponent harder or easier, depending on how skilled you are when it comes to pool. While the computer can still be challenging for those not as familiar or good at pool even on the easier settings, the game provides a good variety of challenge for all players.

Basic Controls, No Tutorial For Trick Shots

The controls in 3D Live Snooker are simple and easily referenced via the in-game help. These controls give you the basics of taking shots and adjusting the camera. However, they do not cover advanced shooting techniques or trick shots. A simple tutorial of some sort could have easily been used to teach the basics and some advanced techniques. At the same time, the controls don't present a huge barrier to playing the game to any player.

Decent Graphics, Could Offer Better View Angles

The graphics in 3D Live Snooker are well done, and a bit better than other similar games. In addition, you have the option to customize the look of the pool tables, cues, balls, and even the rooms you play in. However, you have limited control over the camera angle and view while playing. You typically look from a side of the table, often making it difficulty to see the whole table or your shots. You can look from straight above, but you cannot move your cue or take shots in that view. The ability to play from either view would have been a good improvement.

Additionally, the game is lacking when it comes to sounds. There are a few sounds for balls hitting each other and similar actions, but nothing beyond that. It makes the game feel quiet and a bit empty. Music and some more sounds could have made the game better.
