4.0 out of 5 stars Addictive Fun!, December 1, 2004

An avid fan of the WPT (World Poker Tournament), on-line poker play and bi-weekly family Texas Hold'em Tournaments, I was very curious about this product when I saw it advertised on a recent edition of WPT. My husband and I brought it home and couldn't put it down! Perfect for beginners or seasoned Texas Hold'em Fans, the game comes with a DVD packed with everything you need to get started and the Plug and Play game has a handy tutorial feature that is suited for beginners, intermediate and proffessionals.
Game play is in 2 modes, Multiplayer mode and Tournament mode. In Multiplayer you can play up to six 'real' players or supplement with computer generated competitors of all skill levels. You can choose fun icons and characters to represent you and your fellow players. Game play in Multiplayer can be slow, mainly because you have to pass the controller between all the players so they can privately see the cards they have been dealt and place their bets throughout the round. But that is my only complaint about the game!
In Tournament mode you have a chance to play on your own in a realistic tournament setting, and follow the WPT through a full calendar season. There are different types of games to enter with different buy in amounts and ante's, each has it's pros and cons. But it is fun and challenging and a thrill right down the last 'All in'. You can also view your player stats and overall standings in the WPT virtual world.
This game is a great value for the money, and for fans of Poker it never gets dull because the game changes just like a real-life version, you never know what will happen on the 'flop', 'turn' or 'river'!

5.0 out of 5 stars All I can say is WOW!, December 11, 2004

This game is absolutly great!! I have played a lot of computer poker games but none of them actually gives you the thrill of this one!! When you play multiplayer games, the LCD screen gives you the chance to look at your adversary for tell when he get the controls and look at his cards. I still cant understand how they can sell it at this rediculously low price. If you are a no-limit fan and specially a WPT fan you got to get this!! The DVD that comes with it is great too!! Its a 45 min. special WPT show that explains a lot about NLH, tell, bluffing, etc...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best "Texas Hold Em" game yet., December 10, 2004

I've played a few of the "Texas Hold Em" games out there and this Plug and Play (to your TV) one is the best one by far.
The thing that seperates it from the others is it plays AUTHENTIC and by the Rules. The game does it ALL... so it appeals to the beginner and Diehard Poker fan/player. The graphics are decent... the Computer players are solid and the game even saves your Progress as you can create a few profiles.
It's also possible to play this game in Multi-player mode by passing around the controller which has a built in screen to show each player what cards they were dealt. The reason I got this was because you can take it with you and have Gaming on the Go away from home. For this Price it's a no brainer purchase if you like playing "Texas Hold Em". I'm "ALL IN" on this game.
