VooFoo Studios announce This Is Pool - Snooker Deluxe Edition

I know that not many of us here at XBA are fans of virtual pool/snooker; however, we do know that there are indeed fans of the genre out there, so this news is for you. VooFoo Studios have announced a new game that is coming to this genre, and it is called "This is Pool - Snooker Deluxe Edition". The game features seven-time world snooker champion, Stephen Hendry, and it will be released on various platforms, including the Xbox One.

Former world number one for eight consecutive seasons, Hendry is said to be regarded as one of snooker’s greatest ever players. Stephen features in the game as both an AI opponent and expert mentor in a series of exclusive ‘Cue Tips’ videos designed to help improve your real-life and in-game snooker skills. Players will also be invited to play-through a series of arcade scenarios that challenge you to recreate defining moments in the snooker legend’s record-breaking career.

VooFoo Studios has worked meticulously with Hendry to recreate his unique characteristics and attacking style of play in-game and to enhance their ability to create totally believable cue-sport physics in a stunningly realistic simulation of the world’s most popular cue sports. Also featured in the game is world-renowned professional snooker and pool referee, Michaela Tabb, whose familiar voice brings authority and authenticity to the in-game referee.

The game has has been developed from the ground up using VooFoo Studios’ completely revamped proprietary game and physics engine. It is said to be a content-packed, complete cue-sports experience featuring every major type of cue sport in six painstakingly-detailed locations with full pool and snooker career modes, mini games, trick shots, practice mode and extensive local and online multiplayer modes in a truly immersive cue sports simulation.
