A big complaint I have read on the reviews here is that there is never anyone online to play, which is very true and that does make it less fun. But I have played against the computer and although its not the same as playing against real people, its not that bad either. The computer is actually kind of difficult to beat and I rather enjoy the challenge. My only complaint really would be that while you are playing, the stats (how much money you have, who bet, folded etc... is really small and hard to read. All in all I like the game.

This game is relaxing a lot of fun to play. The characters and vocabulary are a bit cheesy.

I ordered this game frm Vidoegazers storefront through Amazon on December 4, 2008 for a Christmas present. The game never arrived. My account was charged 4 days after I ordered the product, so I assumed tha it would have shipped within a reasonable time. As Christmas came closer, I emailed and tried to contact the vendor several times. They never responded and I never received the product. I filed a claim through Amazon and I am waiting for my refund. Read the reviews for the month of December for Videogazers. They ripped alot of people off. Shame on them!

This game is, well...just not where it should be. Play is alright, but tedious. Even at the "Semi-Pro" level, anyone who's halfway decent at poker will clean up against such players as Scotty Nguyen, Phil Helmuth, Jen Harman, et al. I figured that even the computer avatars of these players ought to be wiping up the board with me, but no, they're no more difficult an opponent than the little old tourist lady. Disappointing...
There are "instructional videos" by Phil Hellmuth as a special feature, but these are poorly done, don't really explain much, and end up being nothing but a plug to buy his DVDs. Half the time Phil is looking at the wrong camera. A minor complaint, but it shows how little attention was put into making this game.
Another play glitch, more serious - this game has a marked propensity for dealing you the same hand twice in a row. Not just the same hand, but the identical cards you just had. The first couple times I thought I was imagining it, but it's now happened 7 times in 5 hours. If you've played poker much, you know this just doesn't happen.
Overall, I found Stacked with Daniel Negreanu to be a much better game. Though it's designed for the PS2 and has commensurately lower graphics, it's a better poker experience. I actually learned quite a bit by playing that game, and it includes some brief instructional videos with Danny Negreanu that are far better in terms of both instructional value and production. Plus, Daniel's a likeable guy...even when he takes your money.
