    If you have great group of online buddies or real-world friends who are on Xbox Live, this game is the next best thing to the Friday night poker-fest in your pal's basement.

    Fortunately you can also go online and play against humans in what is definitely one of the Xbox's better poker offerings. [Holiday 2005, p.73]

    Currently the best poker game currently in the market, but I would still hold out for something better (Hopefully "Stacked").

    The online options are a worthy addition, but the game's sound and graphical abilities are severely lacking even if some of the presentation is borrowed from the television series.

    This budget game serves up some basic and ordinary poker action, with decent Xbox Live support.

    Something could've been done to spice up the presentation, and the AI could've used tightening to the point that it could barely breathe.

    All in all, WPT is not a bad title, but $20 can get you into a couple of real tournaments online. Tournaments where you could actually make money.

    I was expecting a lot better, but this is maybe the best poker game on xbox. It's strange how the graphics are so poor in all poker I was expecting a lot better, but this is maybe the best poker game on xbox. It's strange how the graphics are so poor in all poker games when they only have to make a bunch of people sitting around a table, relatively motionless. This game has some of the ugliest player models and animations i've seen in any xbox game. If it didn't have the theme of one of my favorite shows, it would be a throw away game.… Expand
