    "WSOP" has a better Career mode than this game, and faster gameplay. But WPT has a better online mode, and slightly better computer AI.

    Pretty competitive A.I., sometimes it comes across as a little bit uneven but it always seems to provide a decent challenge.

    World Poker Tour is the best of the console poker bunch--though that isn't necessarily saying an awful lot.

    Comparing World Poker Tour to "World Series of Poker" is like asking if you’d rather be short & fat or ugly & stupid. The generally competent A.I. and career mode make this one the better choice, but your best bet is to leave both flops on the table and find a new game altogether.

    The weakest of the three. Graphics are slightly better then WSOP and WCoP2. Gameplay is very repetitive. The AI checks too often. The pro playercharacters seem just as lost as you are trying to figure the other players. One can never catch a flop. The AI calls you with bad cards and almost always gets rewarded. If you are a pretty good poker play then I wouldn't reccomend it. This game will only fustrate you to when your huge pocket pairs get beat out by horrendous calls.… Expand
