GOOD TO LEARN
This game is good to learn how to play and to pass the time. I would not buy it if you are a serios poker player.
Fun, but not for serious players...
I received this game as a Christmas gift, and have had some fun playing it as a means to (a) pass the time, and (b) see lots of flops...however, I would not recommend it for anyone serious about improving their poker game.I consider the AI in this game ridiculous, because the bets that the various players make (or don't make) aren't in any way logical to those who understand tight, aggressive poker playing.Even an average player should be able to beat the toughest level of the highest value tournament within their first few tries.Honestly, if you're serious enough about poker that you're trying to understand the theory and the math behind it (i.e. those who are reading the numerous books available on the topic), I'd steer way clear of this game.If you're just looking to have some fun, then it's not that bad.
Not worth the $20! DONT BUY THIS GAME!
I am an avid poker player and thought for only $20, it would be worth it to buy this game. The computer players are horrible. The plays made are absolute nonsense. I havent played it for xbox live but I would recommend to just go play with people online for free if you want to go that route. The progamming in this game also is just terrible. The game play is sickening, there are bad glitches that could have been fixed with half-intelligent programming, and there are no good features in this game. DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!
Good for poker fans.
If you love poker video games this is the best one to get and the price is really good for it to. Sure the grafics are kind of bad but why do you need good grafics for a poker game. Plus the A.I. is really good they will trick you. This is the best poker game out there! Get it the price is really good. Only 19.99 at toysrus and other stores get it!
Best $20 ante I've ever made
What a steal for $20.Even if you aren't a huge poker fan, you can have choice from several different games, with different options that you shouldn't feel to bad for dropping $20 on this game.
The graphics really are weak, however, just like a prior reviewer indicated: Who cares?You don't buy a poker game for the graphics.You buy it to play or learn poker.And this title will do both.
Over-customization of your character is a little strange but it does add to the uniqueness of the game.Ultimately, you purchase this game to play on Xbox Live with everyone else.I didn't have any problem figuring out how to join a game, or create one.There seems to be ample players eagerly waiting to join your game.Right now, Texas Hold Em seems to have the majority of players.
The real gripe with the game on Live are the players that kill the game when they lose.If they are hosting the game and they go bust, chances are they will leave the game and you will get booted from the game.Horrible!I played it 10 times today and was booted on 8 when the host lost and quit.Someone really needs to find a fix for this.
Other than that, the game is worth $20 any day of the week.Heck, that's the cost of a movie and some grub.
