    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.

    It’s a solid package with tons of content, and it is very successful at giving players lots of options for playing poker.

    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.

    Delivers a solid and challenging PSP game that fans of all things poker will gladly take along with them.

    It doesn't perfectly replicate the poker experience enough to immerse you in the game, but if you are a poker fan, WCP2 should definitely be a title to consider, with its 14 different variants, online capability, and decent replay value.

    I thought I had a bad copy of the game because of the freezing, so I went and bought a second copy. Now I'm just mad that I wasted twiceI thought I had a bad copy of the game because of the freezing, so I went and bought a second copy. Now I'm just mad that I wasted twice the money when I could have read this message board. It's sooo much fun... when it works. I love all the different games, but can't stand being unable to finish a 50 man tmnt. Despite the obvious heartbreak I experience every hour, I continue to play it. It's that much fun, and that frustrating. Please someone make this game without the flaws.… Full Review »

    Clearly, Crave Entertainment could care less that they have developed a game that you cannot complete a 200 or 300 player tournament. More Clearly, Crave Entertainment could care less that they have developed a game that you cannot complete a 200 or 300 player tournament. More than a dozen times I have made it into the final 20 as the chip leader (or in the top 10), and the game stops. All attempts to contact Crave have been unsuccessful.… Full Review »
