82The long-time problems that do and will always hold gambling videogames down still exist here, mainly the fact that human emotion and reaction cannot be duplicated and gambling with fake money isn't always satisfying when you can pull a real game together with your friends, but with all elements considered there simply isn't a better videogame simulation of the popular card game to be found.
-
80It's a solid package with tons of content, and it is very successful at giving players lots of options for playing poker.
-
75World Championship Poker 2's offline play is the best you'll find amid this year's competition, and the online play is still pretty engaging.
-
75Delivers a solid and challenging PSP game that fans of all things poker will gladly take along with them.
-
It doesn't perfectly replicate the poker experience enough to immerse you in the game, but if you are a poker fan, WCP2 should definitely be a title to consider, with its 14 different variants, online capability, and decent replay value.
-
The poker engine is solid, the A.I. above average, and all of your favorite poker variations are here for the playing.
-
73One of the best poker games of the year on PSP.
-
70The best poker video game available for home consoles. Sure, it'd be nice if the presentation were flashier, and if the game offered more configuration options, but the poker itself is damn near perfect. That's what matters most.
-
70But, why does the PSP version of World Championship Poker 2 cost more than the PS2 version of World Championship Poker 2?
-
70The game's impressive A.I. and variety of gameplay will keep players coming back for more, even with its noticeable flaws.
-
65It certainly falls short on some of the presentation points, like its minimalist character creator and restrictive Career mode options, but its AI and fairly cool RPG elements make it stand out from the portable crowd a bit.
-
Lots of variety with some interesting touches but it's still just poker, only without the banter, gambling and beer. [May 2007, p.89]
-
50The slow pace, poor voice-overs and lack of handheld convenience lends WCP2 a strong sense of "thank god it's over" whenever it's time to switch off the PSP - and no game should ever do that.
-
Admirable in its variety and scope but in terms of presentation and technical execution it's a bad beat.
-
50Within the first few seconds of this game you know you are in well-worn territory. [Sep 2006, p.86]
-
The simple infrastructure multiplayer adds some replay value, but overall this port is poorly thought out. [Mar 2006, p.97]
-
40It isn't a terrible game, but neither is it a good one. For those wanting to play a game of poker without the hassle of dealing cards or finding friends to play against then this game is an adequate substitute.
