One fault: The rule is if the cue ball has just sunk the black and then comes to a stop where the black would normally go, the black then goes to the pink spot, or blue, or whichever the next free spot is. You do not just plonk it right in front of the cue ball. Still 5/5 though. Great game.

Quinn's Review: BB2: Snooker Skool is one of the better snooker implementations I've seen on Kong. First up, kudos for the retro gamer lounge music - very apt, very enjoyable, and it doesn't get on your nerves. The shots are smooth, the graphics simple and polished, and the physics are pretty much fine, which is all you really want from a pool or snooker game. The 'missions' are an interesting touch - you're not just playing games of snooker (solo), you have specific challenges to complete, such as sinking balls in a particular order or in a particular way. That's what I most enjoy doing on an actual pool table, and I know snooker players routinely try these modes to improve their snookering abilities, so it's nice to see it in a flash game. Overall this game isn't going to set your world on fire, but it's about as faithful and rewarding a snooker game as I've seen thus far, so thumbs up.

For those of you who might not know how snooker is played, first a red ball is pocketed for 1 point, and then a colored ball (i.e. non-red) is pocketed for its corresponding value. Yellow, 2; green, 3; brown, 4; blue, 5; pink, 6; black, 7. Then you have keep alternating back and forth between shooting red and then a colored ball. Colored balls are respotted, but reds are not. Play continues until all of the reds are pocketed, and then the colored balls are shot in order of value.
These rules are posted inside of the game as well, although the use of the phrase "any color" during game play would be confusing to non-snooker players. Might not be a bad idea to change the wording to better clarify.

well done guessy, I think 5jjw5 is just a jealous guy he can't stop going on and on and on about how much he doesn'y care. Proves with solid facts that he is in denial

A surprisingly good game. I've never played a game of pool in my life so I decided to give this a try but I was skeptical. Whats great is that it is a good game for a person like me, I got to learn about snooker and grow confidence on each level. Fun and challenging.

An absolutely amazing game, and i think, as someone said below me, this game should have:
Multiplayer. Computer Opponent. Tournament Mode.
Also i think a few trick shots,every good snooker game has them. But bare this in mind, this is a cracking start-off to any snooker series. Personally, i'd go make some more :D. Otherwise, i would reccommend. 5/5

best snooker game ive played, altough there are some things u could improve:1st) double kiss close to cussion seems to be nonexistant, 2nd) not enough power in cue ball, 3rd) when cued ball touches cussion first, cue seems to have no effect at all 4th) sometimes when cue ball is very near for example colored ball, even if u shoot in the opposite direction and hit the red first ull still get the "wrong ball hit first" penalty, and 5th) sometimes move starts be4 all balls stop moving and it ruins your game... 4/5

With the cursor on the cue ball full to the left and taking a straight shot off the bank, the ball merely returns straight backwards, contrary to the way it would in real life.

Gamer4124: When a ball is required as the next shot it also required that the white strike it before any other balls.

Lots of different snookergames, but most isn't really snooker as this one. A level where you play for "snookers" would be awesome. Great game 5/5.
