Video Game Reviews of World Championship Poker
Customer Review: It's "OK"
Summary: 3 Stars
It's hard to complain about this game considering that it was probably put out in somewhat of a hurry to capitalize on the poker craze that seems to have started in about 2002 (or whenever it was that Moneymaker won't the WSP). I read these reviews and chose this cart over the other "Texas Holdem" game that's available for gameboy because this one got better reviews (though most people say they both suck). Every criticism I read on here is true from my experience with the game. It's VERY rare that players fold (though it does happen). The number of players at a table is four so it's hard to think of it as practice since you're never up against a full table. The gameplay is not great, but decent. If you fold, you don't see the rest of the hand play out, but you see all the players best hands (even if you fold to only one player which is odd). There is no indication of which cards were hole cards and which cards were community when they show the final hands either which is a little annoying. I've had it crash on me once or twice, which I thought was strange. The way it works is that you go into one of four casinos that are all basically identical except for the graphics and play your choice of several games (Texas Holdem, Omaha Holdem, 7card stud, 5 card draw, video poker, slots) and you can save your money amount and casino (you have to work your way up to each successive casino - there are four of them) using a passcode that you can enter next time you turn the GBA on. They did put some work into the graphics and the way you can go to different casinos, but overall the way they did it is pretty flat. There is no real goal, no direction, so you feel kind of lost (hey maybe it is like real gambling). Finally, it's pretty easy to beat. I've had it for less than a week and I've already won all the highest value tournaments and can win as much money as I want at any of the other tables (I wish it was like that in real life). SO... if you like playing cards against calling stations, this might be for you, otherwise it's a time killer that's not terrible, but you need to have more than 5 minutes at a time to really do anything with it so it's not something to just save for "can time".
