This review is from: World Series of Poker: Tournament Of Champions (Video Game)

I found this game on sale for half price, So I decided to try it. I love poker, and have played a few games on the PC (free games), and they are much better than this, I was expecting a little bit more from a wii game than this, you cant play over the net, The screen is cluttered, and I dont like the camera angles. Also some of the noises can get repetitive and anouying, like the sneezing. I love the wii but not this game. I will wait and see if Nintendo brings out a poker game with online play.

This review is from: World Series of Poker: Tournament Of Champions (Video Game)

I love to play poker, online and in casinos. The AI in this game is not the most realistic I've encountered ... e.g.,the bets are often way too high compared to the blinds (players often raising 10-20 times the blinds with borderline cards out of position). But it is good enough and very challanging as a video game (Note: NOT good for real-life poker training)

However, I love the interface and the funny characters. The graphics are a little rough, but it does give me a feeling of sitting in a casino and being at the final table on TV with some of my favorite poker players -- TJ Cloutier, Scotty Nguyen, Andy Black, Phil Gordon.

I also like the fact that I can create an avatar that kind of looks like me. That way I can pretend that I'm playing the World Series circuit and can see myself and my name on TV!

The hosts and the yawning, sneezing and repetitive chatter are pretty silly, but it doesn't annoy me like it does others. Actually, I can't wait to try some of the AI character patter at my next real table ("that'll keep the farm in the family" and my favorite "this hand is screaming for oragami - so I shall fold it" LOL!)

If you are a poker buff like I am who likes to play in ESPN online tournaments or enjoys watching an occasion WSOP tournament on TV, you'll enjoy this game and all of the player nuances.

It was easy to pick up and is really a lot of fun (a good teaching tool as well which is something I appreciate). I have just started my "career" as an Amateur under the guidance of Chris Ferguson. I love my Wii -- but this game on the Wii is one of my favorites just by virtue of what it is.

I hope that Nintendo Wii game developers also create a good casino game where I can throw craps. That would be awesome. If you like poker, you'll enjoy this simulation game.
