Amazon.co.uk Review
Although it's hard to make snooker seem terribly sexy (Sega try their best by making everyone on the box cover scowl like they're in a Steven Segal movie) the fact is it has an enormous fan base and it actually works really well as a video game. As with any yearly update this isn't massively different to the last game in the series: it features plenty of celebrity snooker players, (rubbish) commentary from John Parrot and John Virgo, plenty of game modes and online play on the Xbox. Although there is a tutorial mode, the game is intuitive enough for you to pick and play from the off, especially if you start the career mode and begin to slowly work your way up the ranks with your own custom character. The biggest challenge in the game though is having the will power to turn off all the control assists which initially help to make the game so easy to play. A new cue ball position zone marker makes things a lot easier than previous games, as does helpful aiming arrows indicating when and how hard you should hit a ball. Lining up shots still isn't quite as easy as it should be though and altering the strength of the shot on the right analogue stick also feels less accurate than it should do. There are a few bugs and glitches too, particularly around foul balls. Graphically the game won't win any awards, with poor animation and zombie like players, but that's really not what the game is about. Until next year at least this is the best, and only, next gen snooker game around.

plays just like the real thing!! July 31, 2008
the best snooker/pool game available on console so far in my view-the game looks and plays just like the real thing-not one,but two full career modes-full snooker and full pool tours to enjoy-high definition cueing has finally arrived!!
ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING! November 21, 2007

Quality game right here no doubt! I see some people here reviewed as poor, that is because they can't play the game obviously! The game is really realistic how the balls move and the speed. Plus you can see where the white ball is going to end up after the shot hence higher breaks! Only get this game if you are well into your snooker, I love snooker, watching it, playing it and this game tops all of the snooker games yet! FUN FUN FUN
 world championship snooker 2007 PS3 July 25, 2008
just brought the game good game i've played most of the snooker games from the first ever snooker game on the ps1 the controls are nearly the same the graphics are cool (better than the ps1) well of course. one of the guys commented about missing a shot an you lose the frame thats what make's the game great when you see snooker matches on tv someone makes a mistake an 9/10 the game/frame is over. The only reason i didn't give this top marks is the commentary is a bit poor.
Disappointing and flawed April 24, 2007

Having utterly enjoyed World Championship Snooker 2005 on the PS2 I got the 2007 version for my XBOX360 and enjoyed it a little less! Having now replaced my XBOX with the PS3 I was looking forward again to an enjoyable experience, somewhat foolishly ignoring some of the online reviews.
What can I say other than very disappointing! Between frequent poor frame rates and inconsistencies in aiming between the 'behind the cue' and 'overhead' views, this game is frustratingly poor for a next gen console.
If you have a PS3 and like WCS, wait until they improve it with patches (if that's possible with a console) or bring out a 2008 version. [...]
