The Career mode is the most single player fun, and is pretty deep as poker games go.
-
What World Series of Poker is supposed to do, it does very well. Just don't go into it expecting any bells or whistles.
-
With graphics that are muddy and sound that will make your eyes cross, this title has to lean heavily on the merits of the mechanics. Thankfully it is able to deliver the goods and the gameplay is fast, challenging, and fun.
-
I just wish they cleaned up the small things, like character appearances or the computer's ability to downright own you on a high-stakes hand. Oh, well, the game still offers a solid hand, and at $30 no less.
-
With a license as big as the World Series, you'd hope for something more than a merely competent poker title.
-
While World Series of Poker offers some solid AI and nice multiplayer support, it ultimately can't play with the big dogs.
-
The computer AI during the single-player is mixed, the graphics are just bad, the audio is disappointing, and games ending suddenly on Xbox Live make the inner poker player in me cringe.
-
A few months ago, the table poker video game was a novelty, but as more and more of these games hit the shelves, the quicker the novelty wears off.

Official Xbox Magazine UKIt's cheap, but so is Jodie Marsh and we wouldn't shuffle her deck with yours. [April 2006, p.93]
-
This is a lousy simulation of the televised version. It looks terrible with its blocky graphics and herky jerky animation. The poker gameplay is about as average as you can get. There are better, more realistic poker games available on the net for free.
-
This is a very random game of poker that wouldn't stand up to any real scrutiny. Thankfully, you can play human opponents online.
-
Aside from the World Series of Poker name and Lon's voice, this game has nothing to do with poker's ultimate event and even fails to compete with poker products of comparable or lesser price. Nuts!
-
The great license and the professional players just can't make for an entertaining title thanks to a weak graphics engine and poor AI.
-
A better option is to stay in that comfy office chair and check out the thousands of free poker games on the Internet, most of which have a slicker presentation and interface, anyway.
