Gameplay
Snooker 19 includes all officially licensed tournaments from the 2018–19 snooker season and the Q School qualification events for the main tour. It features single-player, multiplayer and online multiplayer modes. The game featured full likenesses for all 128 professional players on the World Snooker Tour, in-game commentary by Neal Foulds, and David Hendon, and refereeing by Brendan Moore. Multiplayer matches mirror real-life tournaments, with in-game tournaments co-existing with events.
Games of snooker can be played with the traditional 15-reds, the six-red snooker variant, and with rules from the Snooker Shoot Out with matches lasting a maximum of ten minutes and a shot clock. Through winning matches offline and online, players can unlock new shirts, waistcoats and bowties for the on-screen players. In the game's career mode, the "pro seasons" options allows players to compete as top professionals, whilst "rising stars" is for players to start with no ranking points.
Reception
Snooker 19 received "mixed or average" reviews according to critical aggregator website Metacritic. It received a score of 70/100 based on eight critical reviews. The game's physics was praised as a realistic representation of snooker.
However, the game was less well received for its lack of variety. The game also felt dated graphically. The Official Xbox Magazine stated that it was a "faithful sim that overcomes bland presentation thanks to fabulous potting".
