very good you have to be aware of the nature of poker to apreciate the quality of this game
Rating: 5 / 5
I have never seen more than maybe 5 minutes of the World Series of Poker on television, and not a big poker player either, but this game is really good. The presentation is very well done. The opponents are tough and you just don’t want to put the game down until you can get your opponents money and send them walking. You can turn the game off at any time and when you turn it back on you are back where you left off. You can speed the game up too so you don’t have to wait for the little computer animations of your opponents to check, call, or raise. Great online (infrastructure and ad hoc) mode too!
Only downside is that you can’t customize your character that much. There are a few things you can use to make a character, but it is fairly shallow.
Overall a great game that is very addicting.

I’ve had to force myself to put this game down since I got it 3 days ago. It plays like the WPT you see on TV and you even get to play with some of your favorites. The players are tough so if you make it to a money position in a tournament then you can pat yourself on the back because you are playing with some of the best.

I recommend this game. The graphics aren’t good, though, they’re actually kind of weird, but I guess that doesn’t matter much if you’re a true poker player; you’re basically looking for a challenging match. Well, this game is pretty challenging, and has plenty of tournaments, including the WSOP main event for “10,000″ entry fee. It has more than 10,000 players so it will take you many hours of play to finish it. I have tried both the PSP version and the XBOX (both are good), but haven’t tried the PC one, which is probably pretty bad. All of the WSOP versions are translated horribly to PC games.

The game itself is difficult, and if you want realistic difficult poker this is the game. There is no way to skip through the tournaments and they usually take like 1-2 hours to complete. The PSP game doesnt offer much customization as I hoped. And once you beat the one tournament (the main event) you basically are done. I played the main event and placed 130 in it, In order to compete in it again I had to create a new profile and new person. The presentation is nice and The WI-FI play lets you set up private custom games with your friends which is nice. Maybe the upcoming WPT game will be better. This one didnt strike gold but its worth a rent, and if your a hardcore poker player looking for some TOUGH training get this.
3 stars for Presentation, On-line play, and very high difficulty.
Mising Two stars becuase of Limited Customization, Long tournaments with no skipping through or re-competiting without developing a new profile, and Jesus Ferguson is almost impossible to out-compete.
