There's plenty on offer here then, but the pool games are the only ones really worth playing -though, fun as they are, they lack the depth, satisfaction and strategy of the titular game. Despite boasting the most crisp depiction of a snooker table ever seen, we must admit that other areas of the game haven't been lavished with the same standard of graphical treatment - a bit shoddy considering the main on-screen focus is only, well, a table.
The crowd has a touch of the zombies about them, while celebratory animations and facial expressions, designed to give you feedback on how your game is going, usually look confused rather than engaged. The player creation feature is detailed without reaching Fight Night levels, but you'd think that this is one area where Blade could have used the 360 camera to good effect. It's hardly the end of the world, but they could have put a lot more into this aspect of the game.
