If you have the PS2 and the EyeToy, you and your opponents can actually set your cameras up so you can see each other while you play; just like you were sitting at the table at Hannah's Casino. That is very cool.
-
68With a license as big as the World Series, you'd hope for something more than a merely competent poker title.
-
65I wasn't expecting a revolution from a poker game, but it would've been nice to have at least one unique and/or standout feature outside of the create-a-player mode.
-
A decent online poker game.
-
60World Series of Poker, while delivering solid table action, just doesn't deliver the superstars and televised gloss that people are going to want out of a game carrying the WSOP license.
-
50Who says you can't play poker all by yourself. The game allows you do do just that, but one misses out on one key ingredient to the poker game - the bluff.
-
Another attempt to cash in on poker's current online renaissance. But with no cash and terrible graphics it's a bum-deal. [Apr 2006, p.108]
-
50The graphics are pretty awful. This is cheap, but not cheap enough. [Dec 2005, p.110]
-
It looks terrible with its blocky graphics and herky jerky animation. The poker gameplay is about as average as you can get. There are better, more realistic poker games available on the net for free.
-
This is a very random game of poker that wouldn't stand up to any real scrutiny. Thankfully, you can play human opponents online.
-
35Aside from the World Series of Poker name and Lon's voice, this game has nothing to do with poker's ultimate event and even fails to compete with poker products of comparable or lesser price. Nuts!
-
30The great license and the professional players just can't make for an entertaining title thanks to a weak graphics engine and poor AI.
-
Many of the games feel very unfair and almost calculated in the way they contrive to make you lose. Trying to outwit opponents by bluffing is a big no-no too, since there always seems to be one character that doesn't want to play ball and fold a hand. It just never feels like you're playing real poker against real people.
-
A better option is to stay in that comfy office chair and check out the thousands of free poker games on the Internet, most of which have a slicker presentation and interface, anyway.
-
Great for players who have absolutely no desire to experience what real poker is like. [Dec 2005, p.132]
