They "try" to make it realistic timing but that failed. Also the game is so slow. There are times when i'm pressing bet, bet or fold, fold but my player whats to take 5 more seconds to think about it before acting on my command.Horrible poker game. I was looking forward to play poker on 360. Everything everybody has mentioned above is true.
I'm baffled at this point (early raise means power, re-raise of a power hand means a monster, so everyone else should have folded, not called), but of course I've now been given great odds so I'll play whatever I have. I was given this game as a gift. I was a bit taken aback that the introduction was both simplistic and time-consuming, but I'll try anything once. I think that it is, as the title says, an arcade game for those who want to dabble and pretend that it's the real thing without wanting to take it so far as to understand poker strategy and tactics.As a final aside, I was very disappointed in the graphics and sound - 360 is all about the visual and auditory experience, and this game takes no advantage of that.Overall, avoid this game.
and of course my As get cracked.I'm not sure who this game is aimed at. The betting makes no sense, the AI will play any two cards, the BB ALWAYS calls if no-one else does making it impossible to steal the blinds - in other words it's all hugely unrealistic and won't teach you anything about poker. And everyone else instead follows me in. So I bet the pot to clear most people out.
Sat out a couple of hands, blinds at 5/10, in the cutoff, player under the gun makes a raise. Nice. I play poker competitively as well as for fun and do use software to practice (such as DD Poker) but the person who gave it to me had no experience of poker and just thought this would be fun for me and my new 360.Fair enough, I'll give it a go. I look down at AA.
Then the entire table calls. I set up a career and entered a tournament. Person next to him also raises.
dont get me wrong though, you can always turn down the sound to the tv, turn on your stereo or head phones and it is just like your in the game. no you will get sick of the catch phrases that the characters say. the game is fun and helps your game out a bit, but it is very repetitive. you can.
Plus I have to play with the game background off due to the same old lame comments and background noises (sneeze ect) I was so looking foward to this Xbox360 version of the WSP, but I must sayI am disapointed, with the overall gameplay. The AI is a step up from the old xbox version but the game can be very tedious.
It's casual fun, but nothing that serious players will enjoy over the long haul. This game isn't horrible, but it certainly is in no way, shape or form a realistic poker simulation. But for people who read poker books, play for money, and take the game seriously, this is, as one reviewer put it, arcade poker.Overall, I think the developers need to take a serious look at what kind of poker game they are trying to make. I think poker fans would rather have a killer poker app for $50 or $60 than this for $30.
Hopefully, they'll also put in some real next-gen graphics, player models that actually resemble humans, and some better presentation. It would be nice to see WSOP games, and poker games in general, start to use some real production values, like EA Sports and 2KSports games. They also need to beef up the online portion with more options, like cash games. that adjusts to your style of play, then we'll finally have a serious one player poker game.
That's the main problem right there. opponents, with adaptive A.I. If all you want to do is play a little online with your camera and talk trash and you don't really play poker for money, sure, have a blast. After spending more time with it, it just got more and more annoying as the game's numerous flaws became more and more glaring.Once these poker games start taking advantage of the next-gen hardware and use multiple types of A.I.
Those are two deathblows. It's fairly obvious that the developers made this with the "no fold em hold em" players in mind, as opposed to serious poker players. The other is that they feel like the WSOP license and some big name pros will sell the game, not substance.
