5.0 out of 5 stars Best of all Poker Series for the PSP August 29, 2008

As a Poker fanatic, I own a number of poker games for both the PSP and the PC. While Hard Rock Casino for the PSP remains my favorite casino game (if I get tired of Poker, I can chase off to other casino games), this one is the Gold Standard for Poker. I highly recommend that you purchase both the 2007 version "World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions" along with this title. WSP:TOC has great tutorials and training modes -- this new edition is pure poker playing. Between the two you will find yourself having fun and greatly improving your game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Poker at its best October 20, 2008

I had the PC version of this game and wanted the ability to play it more, on trains, planes and just plain waiting for something. This game delivers. I can build up my career within the game which simulates tournaments with real players. The graphics may seem cheesy to some, but its for hard core playing, not cool graphics. The intelligence of the game is great - I think I'm playing against the real players sometimes when they make moves. I bought PSP just for this game - its that addicting.

I'm only reviewing the PSP version, since I haven't played the other ones.
So, having said that, I highly recommend it. Its pretty challenging. The AI is smart and hard to beat. I know there's some "geniuses" here that beat every tournament in just a few hours (right). If I was that smart, I wouldn't be playing video games, I'd be getting rich in Vegas. Anyway.
Its challenging. The graphics aren't as good as the "tournament of champions" version, but they're better than the first WSOP. The heads up tournament is a nice addition to the game. You go heads up against the best players, which are many. The unluckable videos are pretty cool. Hellmuth's "music" video (as guest star) sucks though...hahah.

I believe this is still the best poker game for PSP. It allows you to play not just Texas Hold'em, but also other types of poker including Razz and Omaha HI/Lo. Lot's of poker variations keep interest high. You will come back to this game again and again for your poker practice.
