Product Description

Product Description
Jimmy White's 2: Cueball is widely regarded as the best snooker simulation in the history of video games, and features real-life physics to ensure total realism. The project was overseen by 'The Whirlwind' himself, who worked closely with programmer Archer Maclean to ensure the game contains every rule, shot style and match variation.

Cueball takes place within a believable snooker hall environment, with players also offered the chance to choose a soothing background track or dabble with one of the other forms of entertainment surrounding the table--including a dart board and a couple of arcade machines! It is the snooker itself that is the star of the show, however, with the game showcasing a number of CPU competitors - each of whom pave the way for a game against Jimmy himself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Before you buy..., 27 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Snooker itself is a very 3 dimensional game, and this is very hard to represent on a 2D monitor. As with most snooker sims I've played, this is a major stumbling block and potting becomes more luck than judgement. Yeah it looks good but at the end of the day it is gameplay that will keep you playing and you'll be frustrated/bored with this after a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best budget sports sims going, 16 Mar 2003
Seven years on from the original Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker, and six from Archer MacLean's Pool, Archer returned with a sorta combined sequel to the two, featuring both snooker and pool (UK,US and 9-ball), as well as load sof subgames - darts, draughts, a fruit machine and a conversion of his early Commodore 64 game dropzone (IK+ would've been better, but enver mind). These are variable - Dropzone might seem simplistic to modern games and the draughts game doesn't allow double-jump moves even though the computer can play them.

The game engine here is stunning. With impressive visuals and precise physics, this is the closest anyone has come to bringing cue-sports to a computer screen. The shots can be taken from a bird's eye plan view, or from a first-person perspective - its often best to use to former to line up the shot, especially for playing safeties or escaping form snookers, then go to the first-person view to see the shot come to life.

There are ten computer opponents, each progressively harder making for a range of challenges. All the expected options are there - there's a practice mode (complete with undos and shot assistance, to help you learn the correct potting angles) and trick-shot editor to play with.

The only major gripe is the replays - infuriatingly you can only replay a shot if you're taking the next one. This isn't an issue in a 2-player game, but when you're taking on the computer you can't replay his pots, or your misses. I was tempted to knock off a star for it, but at this price I'll let them off.
