Review Cue Sports: Snooker Vs Billiards (WiiWare)
Will Hudson’s Cue Sports have you cueing-up to buy it or leave you snookered?
Hudson’s Cue Sports aims to add a degree of fresh realism in contrast to Gameloft’s Midnight Pool, which is a much more light-hearted affair. Will its boast of Wi-Fi support and extensive game modes give it the edge as the definitive cue sports game on WiiWare? The...

Snookers verses Billiards... Snookers? Isn't that a candy bar? How is Billiards supposed to compete with that?!
Wow! another pool game for the Hudson Ware
(whoops I mean Wii Ware) system.
Hudson's VC offerings haven't disappointed me yet (well, also I haven't actually downloaded any Hudson games yet lol. ), so I expect this game to be pretty good. Even though I might just get Midnight Pool.
Hey, Mickey Mac, do you think you're funny? Snooker is a cue sport which is popular around the world (oh right it isn't well-known in the USA so it obviously doesn't matter) not a candy bar (I don't believe you are stupid enough to think snooker actually is a candy bar, I just think you were just making a failed attempt at humour). Also if you actually bothered to read properly you would find it is snooker not snooker*s* (no s/plural). From now on don't make comments about things you are completely ignorant about.
Anyway, by billiards do they mean cue sports/pocket billiards as a whole? Or the game of English Billiards, which is usually just reffered to as 'billiards' in the UK.
snooker is a variation of pool. It's much more technical. I don't know how exactly it works, but i think google is your friend if you want more informations.
Concerning the title maybe the billard"S" is regrouping differents sort of billards, and why not the "billard francais" ("french pool" i guess in english) ?
Ah, this is good. I wanted to buy Midnight Pool a few days ago, but bought something else instead. Now, I'm going to wait for this to see which is the better game.
Hudson haven't done bad so far on WW, so hopefully this could be as good as Gamelofts attempt.
Pool Revolution: Cue Sports is coming out Tuesday to Japan!

This game is 500 Wii Points.
^If it keeps the same price over here, I'll get it.
That's so cool I hope they keep the price 500 too. As long as the game play is good this game will definitely be a better value than Midnight Pool. After this game comes out and is reveiwed I'm totally going to get this one.
I wonder when this game will come out? Cause I want it.
It's just been released today in australia, thinking about downloading this rather than midnight pool (that wasn't very good on pc) mainly for the network play.
For some reason however, it costs us aussies 800 wii points.
@PaulB - Oh really?
well I got it,
plays a fairly decent game of pool,
gfx are good, but the camera is VERY limited...
either right behind the cueball (which is about 1/4 the size of the screen)
or top down.
would have been sooooo much better with a freeform camera.
still for 800 wiipoints its not bad at all
as opposed to $100 for the pool games in the shops.
haven't tried online yet... but it looks promising
Wow ... I probably like this game!
Anyone who already has ... How is the physic? Is it quite realistic?
how is the wi-fi game?
Is there any tournament mode?
As long as this game is as good as or better than Midnight Pool. I will get this one so please WiiWare World post your review. Please!
@ kornpol
physics are a bit dubious at times ie when the cueball hits another ball that ball moves faster than it should.
but otherwise they are spot on for angle shots and so on
my advice, if you like pool and network play..... buy it
800 wiipoints is still cheaper than $500 for a real pool table
Thanks for the advice @Paul-B. Still going to think about this one.
I'm undecided on getting this or Midnight Pool. I might get both in the end but this sounds much better than Midnight Pool. This looks like great fun for multiplayer, especially as it has online as well.
i love it...great game...anyone know if its possible to make jump shots¿¿¿
So does the american version of this game have snooker as well? Cause it's quite a few blocks less.
@Toddr: Yes, it has Snooker, although I would have gladly traded it for some three-way "Cut Throat" pool action (lows-mids-highs - object is to sink your opponents balls, not your own)
This game is great! everything you need in a simple game of pool. No flash weird characters like midnight pool. 9/10
