For the first time ever, the 2005 WSOP Tournament will be held at Harrah's Rio Suites in Las Vegas, the same location simulated in the video game and the location of the 2005 Lifestyle Show. All the sanctioned poker various of the World Series of Poker are available, including Texas Hold 'Em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha, and 5 Card Draw. With the flexible character creator, the player can create his or her own poker face, wear Vegas-style threads and upgrade looks/clothes as he or she gains money. Expand

  1. The Career mode is the most single player fun, and is pretty deep as poker games go.
  2. I just wish they cleaned up the small things, like character appearances or the computer's ability to downright own you on a high-stakes hand. Oh, well, the game still offers a solid hand, and at $30 no less.
  3. It's cheap, but so is Jodie Marsh and we wouldn't shuffle her deck with yours. [April 2006, p.93]

    First off. This is not a bad game at all. Single player game is deep and challenging. Graphics and voices could have been better. But until Stacked comes out this is the best poker game out there. Expand
