    "WSOP" has a better Career mode than this game, and faster gameplay. But WPT has a better online mode, and slightly better computer AI.

    World Poker Tour is the best of the console poker bunch--though that isn't necessarily saying an awful lot.

    World Poker Tour isn't a huge step above "World Championship Poker," but the career mode is at least more engaging and the AI is less aggravating. The multiplayer game also doesn't appear to be as broken, though it's still clunky.

    The graphics are piss poor and the AI a joke most of the time, but generally this is the best of the bunch.

    Buy WPT if you watch poker; buy "World Championship Poker 2" if you play poker. [Jan 2006, p.95]

    You can get a game of poker out of it, and you can persist with the desire to win to reach the next tournament, but the volume of frustrations along the way mean it cannot be hailed as the first great poker game. It's getting there, but not there yet.
  7. Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

    Until there's an online PS2 poker game where you play with real money, games like this are an irrelevance in the face of the Internet gambling phenomenon. [Christmas 2005, p.108]

    The game is a lot of fun and you can enter tournaments and even create your own variation on poker inside the game. It's a great pass time,The game is a lot of fun and you can enter tournaments and even create your own variation on poker inside the game. It's a great pass time, and going through the career and entering tournaments to buy into the next is a great experience and is a lot of fun to play through. This and WSoP are great games to get if you enjoy competitive poker and want to have a good time playing it on your Playstation 2!… Expand

    The weakest of the three. Graphics are slightly better then WSOP and WCoP2. Gameplay is very repetitive. The AI checks too often. The pro The weakest of the three. Graphics are slightly better then WSOP and WCoP2. Gameplay is very repetitive. The AI checks too often. The pro playercharacters seem just as lost as you are trying to figure the other players. One can never catch a flop. The AI calls you with bad cards and almost always gets rewarded. If you are a pretty good poker play then I wouldn't reccomend it. This game will only fustrate you to when your huge pocket pairs get beat out by horrendous calls.… Expand
