The World Series of Poker actually sanctioned this thing?!Oct 13, 2005
By M. Robinson

OK...I'm a die-hard card player and have been searching for a game good enough to actually test my skills on and this folks...is NOT it! There is no way that a person who's playing in any WSOP event would call a pre-flop raise with 6-3 offsuit. And in a ring game no less. And the sad part is that everytime they would hit at least 2 pair playing nonsense hands. Games like this really have to stop. I mean yes the gameplay is nice and the graphics are adequate enough. It even has a nice system to it, but none of this means anything if you can't gain experience from it. Due to the "wild" (more like amateur) play...you get frustrated and plain p*#$ed off more than anything else. I long for the day when a good poker game will come out and can actually challenge a poker player's actual skill and not just luck.

By Gerard D. Fritz I bought this game for my kids figuring they could learn the rules and how to play. It does teach them these things. However, the game is only for one player. It would be much better if 2 to 4 players could play against other "players" at the table.

About as fun as playing the play money tables online, which begs the question...Oct 20, 2005

Why pay for a game you can play for free if you have an internet connection? Basically, it comes down to how much enjoyment you'll get out of playing in career mode. This game feels like a first draft: there's not much variety to the opponents 'chatter' and reactions, nor is the color commentary very good -- not half as well done as Madden Football and other sports games. The character design engine is half-baked -- barely a fraction of what you can do with your golfer the Tiger Woods game.
Overall, I'm having a hard time thinking of ways to recommend it. Still, I made the final table of my first tourney and I'll probably keep playing for a while, but I'd suggest picking this up used if you can get it cheap -- it's really not going to impress anyone.
