World Snooker Championship preview for Nintendo DS

Given the graphical challenges of a snooker game are pretty reasonable, World Snooker Championship seems like a perfect game for the handheld system. Coming in the DS, World Championship Snooker will take advantage of the dual screen format, giving you an overview of the table on one screen with the action on the other. Given the stylus control on the DS, cuing in World Snooker Championship should prove a truly entertaining control system. And with the heritage of the developers of World Snooker Championship, we have high hopes for this one. Read our preview to see what we think of what we've seen of World Snooker Championship so far.

World Snooker Championship preview for Nintendo DS
Developed by Blade Interactive (who did the classic snooker games for Codemasters), World Snooker Championship on DS is an accurate (well, as is humanly possible on a Nintendo DS) version of the classic game.

What do we know?
As well the full Championship mode, you can also play mini challenges and there’s an intuitive and detailed commentary by John Virgo, Steve Davis and John Parrott, too. More than that though, the game has all 10 official tournaments of the snooker season, 20 bonus items to collect and a wide range of the finest professional players in the game. Controlling the game with the stylus is currently a bit twitchy, but we’re sure that the control system will be refined before the game’s release.
