5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, July 12, 2007

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game cd is well worth buying. I love playing cards and there are many choices of games available. I also liked the interaction features. I choose what "characters" to play with and even create my own persona. It's almost like playing cards with real people! I consider this to be the best card game cd on the market. Additionally, once it is on your computer, you can play without inserting the cd. This is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars My computer is fun now., June 28, 2007

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This software is great. Microsoft only gives you one version of Solitaire. I now have 50 versions, plus many other card games. I am afraid I have become addicted to playing the games. Hours pass without notice. I definitely recommend this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buggy and Difficult Install - But Fun, November 28, 2005

By	Trevor Lowing (Satellite Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

First, the install is counter-intuitive. When you run the install CD you have to figure out to click the "Hoyle" Banner running across the screen instead of "Install". Also had issues with this thing eating CPU cycles and overheating a P4 Dell. I suspect a memory leak. The support is pretty weak too. But the game looks nice while it is running. Turns you computer into a lovely space heater.
