Jimmy White's 'Whirlwind' Snooker


Genre: sports - pool

Publisher: Virgin

Year: 1994

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Easily the best and deepest simulation of a pool table in a 16-bit title. Clearly made for a PC, but with a whole bunch of button presses you can carefully and methodically adjust the angle, spin, fade, and power of each shot


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Only one mode - and it's snooker. I mean, I get it, that's what the game is called, but you couldn't throw in a regualr 8 or 9Ball game? Sheesh


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Haha I love that you can choose between four opponents - Tom, Dick, Harry...and Jimmy.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Visually impressive for a pool game. The game has a polygonal look and allow you much freedom to adjust the view and camera placement. And it animates well!


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

No music. The only sounds are of the ball crashing together. BYOM


Overall Score: 33

Review ID: 6820
