Jimmy White's 2: Cueball is a sports simulation game for PlayStation, featuring licensed snooker player Jimmy White. The game encompasses snooker and three variations of pool presented in detailed 3D, allowing players to rotate the table for optimal viewing. Players must carefully plan shots by adjusting pace and spin while competing against 10 AI opponents across matches of up to 9 frames. A trick-shot editor and replays enhance the gaming experience.
Licensed by snooker player Jimmy White, this game is a simulation of not only the British game of snooker, but also of the three main variations of pool.
The game is viewed in detailed 3D, allowing you to rotate the table at all angles, either from overhead or using the cue position as a base. Taking a shot involves setting the exact pace and spin of it, and considering what each contact will do to the position of the cue ball, and any balls you may wish to pot afterwards. In the snooker mode playing accurate 'safety' shots (to prevent your opponent scoring) becomes important as well).
In each mode there are 10 computer opponents, and matches can consist of up to 9 frames. A trick-shot editor is also included, allowing you to practice shots and set up challenges. Replays and an undo mode are also included.
