Advantages: graphics, gameplay

Disadvantages: anooying commentary

We all like to play an addictive game on the computer now and again and I couldn't find out that I was attetcched too until I bought this PC game it is awesome the graphichs are amazing and I only have Direct X 8.1 (which is not bad for a computer but you can get better. Codemasters is the...(whats the word im looking for?) ... manufactorer of this game and most codemasters games are quite good. And this game is very addictive once you start you just cant stop.

When you first install the game its looks quite plain their comes up codemasters and a little loading screen and the menu. Now the menu consists of stuff like play game options exit and a few others. So you click on play game and another menu comes up (with the boring music) amd it says like championship, head to head (or two player) so if go on championship you can customise what you look like whether you are male or female whether your shoes are pink or your wastecoat is pink etc..

Then once you have custimized everything that you want you click on play game. Then it will come up with anaother menu saying whether you want your matches to be short or long short is about 3 frames and lond is about 13 frames (a frame is when you have finished potting all the balls.) Then you have to decide where you play in what league their are four leagues Manhester,Birmingham ,Newcastle and London so you enter and you are in leagues with other amuteur players.

Considering on where you are you will come out probably in a pub now the amuteur matches are quite easy untill 1 person their is always one person that is really hard to beat...
Once you have finished 1st in that league then you suddenly turn pro and the next think you know you are playing against Ronnie O' Sullivian! Now back onto the actual game their is no crowd their but if you pot a really good shot you hear cheers. And the commentary form John Virgo is aesome ...... 4 lines he's got.
About positioning and potting the ball..... getting the angle in which to shoot by is really easy you just use the left/right keys on your keyboard and their will be two lines coming off the cueball (white ball)

The top line shows the cuball and what contact it is going to make with a object ball (red, yellow, brown, green etc.) The second line shows where the cueball is goin to spin off and land for your next shot. Once you have lined up your shot then you simply click the mouse button and voila! you have shot!
Once the cueball makes contact with the object ball it makes a noise (how cool is that?)This game is suitable for anyone because it is really easy to play I and would reccomend it to everyone!

The game cost me round 15.99 but that was about a year ago now so I think game prices will be much much lower now. If you have this game and you like it please tell me in my comments I would love to hear from you!

If you have any comments on how to improve this or any of my other reviews please tell me! thanks for reading
