World Series of Poker by Activision
I recently purchased “World Series of Poker” by Activision for the XBox. I don’t much care for it. If I had categories for video games, which I don’t, this game would be in the “Stinky” category.
There are a couple of good points about the game.
- You can play against 12 animated pros including Chris Ferguson and Men “The Master”.
- You can collect milestone chips for takedowns, hands played, all in wins etc.
- Customizable characters.
There are a few other things that are OK, but there is one very bad point that totally ruins the game. If you play a seven card stud tourney you become a spectator if you fold your hand. You see the animated players betting but you don’t get to see what cards they are being dealt. It’s not even as good as watching poker on TV. To say the least this is very annoying.
If you are interested in buying “World Series of Poker” I suggest you rent it first. You can probably buy it for $20 or less now, but in my mind it’s not worth it.
