World Championship Poker (Sony PlayStation 2, 2004)

This game is alright. I think by now there are WAY better poker games out there. The environments are interesting and pretty well rendered, but the character models are AWFUL! This game has a "create a player" mode where you can style a players looks etc... to get it to look like yourself. But let me warn you, it is impossible to get one that even looks close to your actual appearance. Partly due to bad graphics and partly due to bad development.

An upside to this game is that it has upwards of 25 poker games to choose from. From Pineapple to Five-card Stud to Texas Hold'em. You can also enroll in tournaments. The computer intelligence is alright, but after a while, you can easily figure out what the computer is going to do most of the time. The controls are good and the poker atmosphere while playing is well done. Partly due to the environments. You might get bored of this game after playing for 10-15 hours though! Not much replay value!!!!

You'd do well to get the newer edition on this game or even a different poker game. But if price is a factor, this game should be cheap! I wouldn't pay over $15 for it though!

It lets you play as if you were playing with real life like characters. I love the online play. I like the style of tournaments and that its not just texas holdem but omaha too.

We Rate World Championship Poker for PS2 as a 4 out of 10. It offers GOOD GAME PLAY, but is very limited with its basic features. It is a one-player only game, when first playing the game youre only able to choose from one player design, and all of your fellow poker players in the game look alike(their faces dont look any different than yours). We were not at all impressed with the graphics, as we expected much better for PS2. Also, when you lose at a table, you have to wait for all other players to win/lose before you can start a new game, unless you reset it by going back to the Main Menu and starting over. When youre all out of cash, you cannot just "simply" start over at a new table to keep playing. In order to "personalize" your character, you have to save the settings to memory card.

Again, its a good game to play, but it is very basic.

We hope that you found this Review HELPFUL!

Have a Great Day!!

I WAS LOOKING ON EBAY AND I SAW THIS GAME I WATCH GAMES LIKE THIS ON T.V. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY IT SO I HAVE A PLAYSTATION2 THAT I CAN PLAY THIS GAME ON AND I SAY I WILL LIKE THIS GAME AWHOLE LOT THANKS

It seems as if they sold a lot of these games because these are certainly showing up in the resale shops! I finally bought the game for a good price and I was not impressed!

You can make your own character with many traits to choose from. I played this game for a few hours and it was basic. The backgrounds are cool with a litle bit of audible items running. Such as a riverboat motor on the riverboat and a water fountain in the penthouse. It seemed easy enough to play.

Not overall impressed, but an ok game!
