World Snooker Championship 2007 is a sports video game developed by Blade Interactive and published by Sega for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The game was announced at E3 in 2006, by Sega along with other games, including Sonic Rivals and Virtua Tennis 3. The game would be announced at this time as being a PlayStation exclusive for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, and also under the release name for North America, “World Pool Championship 2007”, to be released in September 2006.
However, the game was later delayed for a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions to be created. As the game of Snooker is largely not played in the Americas, the game was released featuring Pool, instead of Snooker in the game’s title. However, the game had no features cut from the game’s American release.
Players can create their own character and compete against or play as professional snooker players such as: Shaun Murphy, Ronnie O’Sullivan, and John Higgins. For the first time in the series, professional Pool players are included, with players like Efren Reyes and Earl Strickland available to play against in the Pool modes.
Game modes include Snooker, 8 Ball, 9 Ball and the returning John Virgo‘s trick shot. This latest edition includes improvements on the visual aids the player can turn on. The player is now able to see where the cue ball will end up after his shot, with a bigger circle of where the ball will end up being decided by how difficult the previous shot was.
The game boasted 104 top snooker players and ten official tournaments, all modeled for the 2007 season. In-game commentary is provided by John Parrott, John Virgo and Steve Davis. The game also features a brand new “Golden Cue” mode, where games can be made up of frames from different sports, such as a frame of Snooker, followed by a frame of Nine ball pool.
Another great retro game available at Escapist Gamer – Formula One 2006 (PSP)
