  1. If you have great group of online buddies or real-world friends who are on Xbox Live, this game is the next best thing to the Friday night poker-fest in your pal's basement.
  2. Currently the best poker game currently in the market, but I would still hold out for something better (Hopefully "Stacked").
  3. The addition of the WPT license has given the game a level of focus and direction that the developer's previous effort lacked.
  4. 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.

    I was expecting a lot better, but this is maybe the best poker game on xbox. It's strange how the graphics are so poor in all poker games when they only have to make a bunch of people sitting around a table, relatively motionless. This game has some of the ugliest player models and animations i've seen in any xbox game. If it didn't have the theme of one of my favorite shows, it would be a throw away game. Collapse
