"WSOP" has a better Career mode than this game, and faster gameplay. But WPT has a better online mode, and slightly better computer AI.
-
TotalGames.netNot as great as real poker, but certainly the next best thing. Now take those socks off, we got three kings.
-
World Poker Tour is the best of the console poker bunch--though that isn't necessarily saying an awful lot.
-
Pretty competitive A.I., sometimes it comes across as a little bit uneven but it always seems to provide a decent challenge.
-
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.
-
AceGamezDespite the amount of complaints on the table, I still think World Poker Tour should be given a chance if you plan to take it online, because as far as I know, this is the only poker videogame that offers such an extensive online mode.
-
It's getting there, but even $20 sadly isn't enough to keep the game interesting once the license novelty wears off.
-
It’s still the most complete virtual poker experience you’re likely to come across, but it falls short of what it could have been. Cool ideas like the ability to change your player’s facial expression are all but pointless, and the online play doesn’t really seem to have taken off.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineBuy WPT if you watch poker; buy "World Championship Poker 2" if you play poker. [Jan 2006, p.95]

If you’ve seen the TV show, don’t play poker but fancy having a go yourself, then it’s a perfect initiation to the game – complete with some of the crazy calls and raises that go on from inexperienced and tilting players. For the hardcore poker fanatic though, there’s a massive, massive amount of room for improvement.
-
The graphics are piss poor and the AI a joke most of the time, but generally this is the best of the bunch.
-
Large improvements need to be made to the AI to make the game challenging and enjoyable, and more time needs to be spent on improving the character models and announcing work.
-
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.
-
BoomtownMaybe it's time for this addition to the videogame genre stable to start uttering that often resented yet ever-powerful f-word. That's "fold", by the way.
-
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.

PSM MagazineThe graphics are mostly serviceable, but the AI is all over the map. [Holiday 2005, 92]

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKUntil 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]
