eh, could be better.
This game is alright. I think by now there are WAY better poker games out there. The environments are interesting and pretty well rendered, but the character models are AWFUL! This game has a "create a player" mode where you can style a players looks etc... to get it to look like yourself. But let me warn you, it is impossible to get one that even looks close to your actual appearance. Partly due to bad graphics and partly due to bad development.
An upside to this game is that it has upwards of 25 poker games to choose from. From Pineapple to Five-card Stud to Texas Hold'em. You can also enroll in tournaments. The computer intelligence is alright, but after a while, you can easily figure out what the computer is going to do most of the time. The controls are good and the poker atmosphere while playing is well done. Partly due to the environments. You might get bored of this game after playing for 10-15 hours though! Not much replay value!!!!
You'd do well to get the newer edition on this game or even a different poker game. But if price is a factor, this game should be cheap! I wouldn't pay over $15 for it though!Read full review...
GOOD GAME PLAY / OK GRAPHICS / BASIC FEATURES
We Rate World Championship Poker for PS2 as a 4 out of 10. It offers GOOD GAME PLAY, but is very limited with its basic features. It is a one-player only game, when first playing the game youre only able to choose from one player design, and all of your fellow poker players in the game look alike(their faces dont look any different than yours). We were not at all impressed with the graphics, as we expected much better for PS2. Also, when you lose at a table, you have to wait for all other players to win/lose before you can start a new game, unless you reset it by going back to the Main Menu and starting over. When youre all out of cash, you cannot just "simply" start over at a new table to keep playing. In order to "personalize" your character, you have to save the settings to memory card.
Again, its a good game to play, but it is very basic.
We hope that you found this Review HELPFUL!
Have a Great Day!!

World Championship Poker
I liked most every aspect of this game. graphics could be improved upon and a "skip to see winner of tournament" feature would be nice for those times when you have been eliminated but want to see the outcome without having to sit there and let the computer play the game out. also there should be more multiple player options besides just player vs cpu. more challenging skill levels would be a plus. all in all I rate it as good and cant wait for a newer improved version.Read full review...
WORLS CHAMPIONSHIP POKER (PS2)
Very pleased. Worth every penny. Great graphics too!!I bought the New game 3 weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available. It has a great sound effects and visuals. The game is perfect for 1 or 2 players. My only complaint is that my husband wants to play it all the time!! Overall, I'd recommend the game to anyone.Read full review...
Not Impressed!
It seems as if they sold a lot of these games because these are certainly showing up in the resale shops! I finally bought the game for a good price and I was not impressed!
You can make your own character with many traits to choose from. I played this game for a few hours and it was basic. The backgrounds are cool with a litle bit of audible items running. Such as a riverboat motor on the riverboat and a water fountain in the penthouse. It seemed easy enough to play.
Not overall impressed, but an ok game!Read full review...
Very Good Game
This game is a good game. It teaches you how to play various types of poker and also keeps a running dollar amount so you can see how good you actually are. The only downfalls on this game are the graphics are a little lame and after you lose out of a tournament the tournament still goes on without you. It doesnt just skip to the end. Overall I give this game about a 4.5/5.Read full review...
Sleepy Poker
I decided to buy it because my husband and I like playing poker. I should have done some more research on this game. It is only a 1 player game. Playing the game can be best described as a sleep aid. If you're trying to go sleep but can't, pop this game in! It is sooooooo slow. Not only does it show your character deliberating and its animation, but it shows every single person sitting at the table, it take forever. I literaly fell asleep playing this game.Read full review...
Overall good game!
Not knowing what to expect going into it, I was overall pretty impressed. The graphics are great and it is quite addicting. My only complaints are that it sometimes goes by slowly and the easier games are quite easy.Read full review...
Good Game
This was a good game, I enjoyed it. My favorite part was making the characters. There are hundreds of options to choose from and it is lots of fun. The gameplay is good. It doesn't specialize in one particular version of poker but offers a whole lot of games and variations of those games.Read full review...
