How it plays
The camera presents the table in a 3D view, allowing the player to examine angles and plan a route for the cue ball. The main objective is to complete the rules of the selected cue-sport event before the opponent.
Players choose shot direction, adjust power and cue-ball spin, then strike the ball. Successful positional play is important because each shot affects the next one. Progression comes through matches, events, and increasingly difficult opponents or tables, depending on the selected mode.
Plan your run
Plan the cue-ball route before taking the shot, not just the path of the object ball. Favor controlled power over maximum strength, especially when the next shot depends on position.
Use spin sparingly until the rebound behavior is understood. When safety play is possible, leave the cue ball in a difficult position rather than attempting a low-probability pot.

Jimmy White's 2: Cueball is a cue-sports simulation developed by Awesome Developments and published by Virgin Interactive for PlayStation. It focuses on pool and snooker-style play, presenting table sports through a detailed 3D perspective rather than an arcade-only format. Players line up shots, control cue power and spin, and compete through structured matches and challenge-oriented events. The game is built around precision, positioning, and rule-based play, with different table games providing variation. It was regarded as a substantial follow-up to the original Jimmy White's game, although its demanding simulation approach primarily appealed to players who enjoyed careful shot planning.
