Go for it, At least 1 person will read it (Me) Didn't pre-order this one, figured most shops wont sell out on day one. Kinda wish I had now.

I'm hoping my pre-order arrives this morning, it was sent yesterday. Looking forward to cracking out another 1000 points on this.

I've already played the game. It's very similar to the last two - even down to some repeated hints on the loading screens and some suspiciously familiar commentary. Still I'm enjoying it so far, the physics are spot on and it certainly looks a lot better than the older ones.

The rewind feature is interesting, as you can replay botched shots a certain amount of times per match, and it means that a result doesn't have to hinge on one poor shot. Though it does also take away a bit of the competition - though whether you use it or not is up to you.

I like it so far, though there was no one online to try and play against so I cannot say how that part of the game fares.

the tables cushions are real slow have to hit the ball well hard off them maybe cause the player stats are still really low. liking the whole shine effect on the balls..

overall though pretty similar to the last just with better gfx,commentary sounds the same as before.

still enjoyable

EDIT.. online looks good, got your tournaments and then there are leaderboards ( ranked and tournament )

Mine arrived this morning and i have been giving it a good go.

PROS -
* It is very similar to previous editions, physics immaculate again.
* the aiming lines are the same colour as the ball you are hitting - nice touch.
* rewind feature is pretty good
* controls have been changed, bit weird at first, but definately better.
* you can save you shot to a replay archive
* faster loading times

CONS -
* commentary is still rubbish. (thank god for music streaming)
* there is no fast forward shot that i have found you can just skip it.
* character models are still as ugly as ever.
* no trickshot or challange mode (loved them in the last game)
* pool season is still short and it doesnt feel like a proper pool career.

Anyone wanna add me for some online snooker action please feel free. gamertag - hairyfingernail

happy gaming one and all
