3.0 out of 5 starsHoyle games
By Wayne Nelson on January 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
Hoyle games 2008 is a little better then Hoyle games 2005 and a lot better then Hoyle games 2010. Slightly better logic in the 2008 version compared to the 2005, about as good as the 2010 version but the 2008 version has better graphics then the 2010 version.

All the versions must have been written by a none player because the game logic stinks. For instance...you do not trump your partners ace if it has already taken the trick, and if your partner has already taken the trick no matter what was played you do not over trump or play a higher card to take the trick away from your partner. All the players play as if they are alone no matter what the game is which makes for a bad partner.

5.0 out of 5 starsBelieve the poor reviews about the newer versions
By Trinity on January 30, 2010
Verified Purchase
Since 50 passed me by, I've gotten quite particular. I read the reviews on the newer versions wanting one that would work with my new Win7 pro 64 bit system. I even tried the '09 version and didn't like it for the same reasons others gave.

I love this 2008 version. My Pretty Good Solitaire games I've played for years aren't working out visually for me on this system with a new widescreen monitor, so I needed something I would enjoy playing. While it isn't Pretty Good Solitaire, I have to say at least I'm having fun with this 2008 version of Hoyle. It's everything others have said about it. If you like to play card games to relax as I do and you're worried about Win7 etc....get this one.

Kudos to Amazon for carrying it and at a price where I got free shipping when I included it with some DVDs in the purchase.

while I don't like how some of the games play compared to what I'm used to, I still give it a 5 stars.

Update:
I just couldn't take Win7 pro64 anymore. What a POS OS. It's nothing more than Vista with new wrapping, imo.
Unexpected crashes, you blink and it would crash.
Went back to Win XP 64 Pro
The game works flawlessly. Not a single issue.

As a matter of fact, so do all my other games with no issues whatsoever using WinXP pro 64.
I do love this game. Installed without a hitch and plays without a hitch.
This is still the game you want.

5.0 out of 5 starsStill Love these Games
By Cathy M on January 27, 2010
After a LOT of confusion and research on what version would best work with Vista, I came to the conclusion that 2008 was the way to go. (I have a 2000 edition that won't completely run on Vista). Then I came to Amazon and realized that there was a 2008 "Old Version" and "New Version".... WHAT????? I bit the bullet and found a "New Version - Jewel Case" 2008 locally and brought it home with some trepidation. IT WORKS GREAT! I also purchased the Board games 2008. I have the "New Version of 2008" loaded on my Vista Desktop and it also works on my XP netbook. Other reviews have stated that they haven't updated the players or the voices of the opponents, and I also agree that if Hoyle is going to release a new version every year without really "upgrading" the games then a "free upgrade" or a discounted upgrade for current owners would be good customer relations! The only other thing that irritates me is the fact that not all of the backgrounds/game boards/faces etc., are available for use, they have to be "purchased" with coins. I just received my Windows 7 Upgrade and am curious as to whether or not this will work with that. I have had no problems at all with this and am, for the most part, very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 starsFun
By MandBinc on August 9, 2010

The Hoyle card games package was easy to install and works well on Win7 and XP. I have had no problems with it and have been playing the games for the past month or so.

I am not too crazy about their Facemaker program, I think the older version on Hoyle Board games was much better and easier to use.

I would recommend this package to anyone who wants simple but challenging games to keep one entertained.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Value for the Money
By Watcher on November 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
For the price of $10 or less, this package contains quite a number of games and has something of interest for everyone in the family - card games, children's games, and gambling. In addition to the games played against computer opponents (such as Bridge, Canasta, and Cribbage), there are a significant number of solitaire games to choose from.

To add an extra dimension to game play, rewards can be won in the various games and then "spent" within the program to "buy" additional game components such as different Cribbage boards or playing surfaces. Miami Solitaire is a stand-alone game that has a fun little story and its own set of rewards.

Some reviewers have said that other, newer Hoyle products do not run on Windows 7 but this product definitely does (including 64-bit), although I find it works best if set up to run in the Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because some of the games don't have instructions provided which make them nearly impossible to play. Also the screen can only be displayed in two sizes: full screen or a small-ish window. I wish it could be resized to something in between.

Overall though, I think this is well worth the money and will provide hours and hours of enjoyment.

It's a great product for the price. Plenty of card games. Kids love it that the players talk. I love it that I can turn that part off, lol. And it works great with Windows 10.
