Product ReviewsWorld Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets (Sony PlayStation 3, 2007)

WSOP Review.

The graphics of this game is very impressive. The commands and instructions were pretty easy and it easy to play this game and loose track of time. There are so many options for you to understand.

Good, but not great. Crashes. Flawed wins. Challenging. Tiny graphics. Need a BIG SCREEN.

Pros:
Authentic looking player arm and hand actions.
Authentic voices and personalities of some of poker's greats from the height of the poker boom.
Authentic and challenging play. If you're not a good poker player these pros will stomp you.
It's hard to win the World Series of Poker, as it should be. It took me at least a dozen tries.
Several different games to choose from including one on one, which is particularly hard.
The game is immersive. The player's comments are often funny. You feel like you're at the table.

Cons:
The game totally froze up and crashed three times during my first time playing it.
The "winners" are not always those with the best hands. I lost with TWO pair to ONE pair of 8's.
The computer often deals itself straights, while I never received one.
The graphics themselves are teeny tiny. You need a REALLY BIG SCREEN to see everything.
I have yet to figure out how to save a game easily or progress to the next round of the "career."
Phil Helmuth is the OG, top rater player in the game. He exemplifies poor sportsmanship.
The commentator's repetitive lame jokes and comments grow tiresome. Read full review...

Not so great online.

I played the gmae on xbox 360 a few years ago. It was awesome. The WSOP 08 BFTB I have to say I am dissapointed in. The single player is decent, but the multiplayer, keeps track of nothing. Basically you start off with 25K and if you play for 10 minutes or 10 hours and have 10 dollars or 10 million dollars, as soon as you exit, you lose everything and when you log back in you start off with 25K again. I am biased because I live to play games ONLINE only, Alos there were 2 games with 3 and 4 people in each game online, THATS IT!!!!!!! I am going to play this game some more, hopefully it will improve or my outlook on it will improve. I did read some reviews on amazon and whatnot and they did say that there was not a lot of online people playing at any given time. If anyone wants to play online my ps3 ID is MHLBR.

I am not a fan of playing single player so please take that into considerationRead full review...

Poker Fun

Great Poker games. It's old, but the game is the same. A great way to play if you have an older PS3 system. I'm enjoying it.

Battle for the Bracelets

Overall I enjoy the game very much however. The one thing I do not like about the game is that on some of the games or screens they have so many players and your hand so close together that it is hard to see what your cards are. I only have a 36 inch screen tv but it it difficult to see your cards.Read full review...

World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets (P

I dislike that has only english language.
The game could be more easy to work... The menus, the configurations, the games.
There're so many poker games and I think that many games are better than this one: not only for not use the PS3 platform at 100%, it could be more funny, fast end easy to play.Read full review...
