Season mode is time consuming due to the length of real-world snooker frames, so 8 Ball offers a much faster alternative. In addition to Season mode, you can play a separate season of 8-ball pool in 8 Ball mode.

WSC Real 2011 is a game that really wants you to learn how to be a better player, so while the early stages of Season mode can be frustrating, every win is incredibly rewarding. Depending on your understanding of snooker, competing for the top places in tournaments can feel very slow because there is no option to change the AI difficulty to improve your results. Eventually, you get further into each tournament and start playing against famous faces from the world of snooker, such as cover star Ronnie O'Sullivan and Graeme Dott. Early in Season mode, you may frequently lose matches and find it tough to progress to the later rounds of tournaments, but even when you lose you still earn experience, which can be used to upgrade your character.

Once you've created your slightly undead-looking character you can take to the tables in qualifying rounds for all of the real tournaments from the 2010/11 snooker season. You can change your player's facial appearance and outfit, but the options available are limited, and the results tend to look a little like zombies. The main single-player mode in WSC Real 11 is Season, in which you create a new snooker player and start at the bottom of the world rankings. WSC Real 11 is a leap forward in terms of graphics in the series. The new features have certainly improved the franchise, and while there isn't much competition in this genre, it's a game that snooker fans should check out. There are graphical enhancements, new online game modes, and a rewind system to help you correct your mistakes rather than being punished for them.

UK REVIEW-It has been two years since the last official World Snooker Championship game on consoles, and in the interim, developer Dark Energy Digital has significantly upped its game for WSC Real 2011.
