World Championship Poker (PS2)

Obviously for the money I wasn't expecting anything amazing. but I couldn't have been more surprised. This games is amazing, even the graphics look good and the game play which is obviously more important in a game like this is for real.

I even get the same nervous vibes when I go all in.

Originally I just played Tex 'em hold 'em but this game has 5 different poker games which are all easier to learn and have put a new spin onto poker.

I would recommend this for all new poker players and poker players with some experience.

This game is a must buy and is one of the best games I have bought this year.

I bought this game thinking it woud be very easy to win having played online and done quite well for myself but its a great challenge. Theres loads of tournaments to play including the "world poker championship"; and the tutorials will help your game, a good game for the very cheap price!!


Want to learn poker? ....then don't buy this game!   November 5, 2005

If you want a bit of fun creating a customised poker character and playing a little poker to pass the time, then this game is well worth the asking price.
If you want to learn how to play poker then better look elsewhere.
Quite simply your computer opponents are rubbish, even at the highest difficulty (professional). I play online poker and even the worst players online are much better than the opponents here.
You can soon learn how to beat the game and make your way up the tournament ladders, but if you were to play in the same way for real you would quickly lose your money.
Review only written to balance the other views here, which were somewhat misleading......

I had seen other poker games on the PS2, nothing compared to the thrill of online play or real casino action. The WCP game for the PS2 is the closest thing to online fun you're going to get. Play as your own character (Im delboy vegas!) and build on tournament wins. From the standard sit & go games to the big bucks tournaments for $1000 buy in, you can play in different rooms and against some hot handed players.

The character wins & losses are calculated and kept in your profile to check on your progress. I am learning more from this game than I ever have online. I tend to play 4-5 hours a night, with several different strategies, enthralling fun and never a chance the missus will kick off for blowing the rent & shopping cash! helps sharpen your skills and allows you to see your table skills grow. Get it!
