    It's the bracelet-wearing champ of the current crop, at least as over the counter titles are concerned.

    Stacked presents itself as a typical game of poker, but thanks to a pretty intriguing artificial intelligence system, it plays things much smarter than your average poker title.

    Stacked could benefit from more polish and deeper player customization (no, we don't want to look fat and balding, even if we are), but its actual gameplay is solid, and the creepy I'm-watching-you-so-I-can-destroy-you vibe can only help your real-world strategy.

    If you're old enough to play online for nothing, why spend $30 for an ugly interface and weak action?
  5. 1UP

    Stacked does have one hook (aside from the Negreanu name), but it's not a terribly compelling one. You're in control of a customizable avatar, and you can convey some basic poker information through your character via frowning, smiling, calling tentatively, or raising aggressively. Trying to simulate body language and table presence is a fine idea, but with such limited options it's more a gimmick than a viable gambit.

    The presentation on a whole is either poor and/or awkward, including the raise adjustment, menu navigation, visuals (specifically for the chips), lack of a reasonable create-a-player and more.
  7. PC Zone UK

    The menus are too awkward - selecting a betting amount is fiddly beyond reason - and there's too much competition out there for Stacked to distinguish itself as anything other than one of the ugly cliches from its own character selection menu. [June 2007, p.74]

The major flaw there is the poor servers and the total lack of security. In about one short year, the game (online) runs amuck with hackers and cheats, taking the fun out of the picture almost completely. I'm suprised that Daniel Negraneau would want his name attached to anything so flawed and hopefully UNLIKE real online poker rooms where there are checkpoints to allow cheats running amuck.… Expand
