World 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.

If you forget about the weird tell animations, the constantly repeated phrases and terrible voice acting of the players then the actual poker in the game is decent. Just remember, let the suckers go out first and then you play.

The 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.

PC GamerSeeing poker-star Howard Lederer on the box piqued our interest, but once you get in the game, WCP2 hits you with weak voice acting, substandard graphics, and wonky animation. [Apr 2006, p.100]

Despite the lackluster presentation, the core card gameplay in the World Championship Poker 2 is solid. Fans of poker should definitely find the game both challenging and entertaining.

PC Zone UKWith nothing beyond a grim gambling fascination, I quickly went from reckless overbetting calamities to profitably unsexy play. [May 2006, p.87]

Despite the good attempt, WCP2 is nothing compared to real-life poker.
-
PC Gamer UKFine selection of game types, but outdated and lacking in soul. [May 2007, p.80]

NathanM.Feb 5, 2006I also like this game, but when you get really far in a touranment it freezes. I've played in the same touranment twice now because it freezes.
