World Championship Snooker 2003 Reviewed


Nothing beats the 'clack!' of balls around a snooker table so we were eager to grab the chalk and prepare our cues for Codemasters' World Championship Snooker 2003. Matt had the honour of bringing you the review of the PS2 version. Here's the obligatory primer:
At first glance World Snooker 2003 looks all too easy. Shocking rookie-type mistakes from the AI worried me that this was going to be painful, but I was proved wrong.
