Customer Review: All the fun of poker without having to go to Vegas!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Activision has always been a solid software company. WSOP is no exception, very user friendly, suitable for all levels of play from babe in the woods amatuer to WSOP bracelet winner. Several game play options are available, from a quick home game to a all out tournament at the premier venues of poker, all in great detail. I am looking forward to WSOP 2010.Customer Review: Great game!

Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product in PS2 format and traded it in the next day because the HUD is simply too difficult to read. And I even have a 42-inch HDTV. You'll squint and squirm trying to see your bankroll and that of others, let alone trying to read the names of other players. There's also a lot of waiting for the game to proceed after you've made a decision. If you're not so concerned about the minutae of poker but looking for a solid, fun experience, stick with the last year's Tournament of Champions version...the game play is just as good and you won't suffer from eye strain.Customer Review: Unplayable due to tiny "Heads Up Display" - 2007 version is better
Summary: 1 Stars
As a player of almost every console based poker game, I of course felt the need to pick up the latest wsop title to see the improvements over the previous version.
I found that It was almost impossible to follow the action due to the tiny print on the "Heads up Display" which tells you what the bet amounts and the player's current stacks are. It was made worse by a split screen which could not be turned off.
It's really unfortunate when a game developer takes the trouble to make an otherwise decent game and then makes it unplayable throught some completely avoidable error like making the controls counter-intuitive or the text impossible to read in a game where it is crucial.
Within a few minutes of trying to deal with this game, I put it away and took out my version of wsop 2007 which is very similar except for the more readable text and cards.
Also almost all of the dialog and commentary is the same for 2008 as it was for 2007.
