 Rating:  - Great Game - Excellent A.I. TECHNICAL REVIEW: I'm running the game on Windows 2000. It works flawlessly except when I go into Phil Hellmuth's Poker School. The video side box with Phil talking cuts in and out(sound); making this part of the game useless. I'm disappointed by this and hope a patch will fix it. Other than that, I haven't experienced any video or sound related problems running 1024x768 screen resolution. SPEED REVIEW: Speed Issues: Normal: The game in Normal mode is just ...

When it did run it was poor at best. My computer locked up several times while it was installed whether it was running or not. When I uninstalled it the problem went away. The brat must have been behind on his mortgage payment to put his name on this trash.World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets Rating: - Does not work on my system, periodAfter I play this for 5 minutes, the graphics corrupt to the point where I can't find the exit button. Random images overwrite everything and the game is compltely unplayable. My system is a quad-core Pentium, Nvidia 8800 gtx with all software updates. I play other demanding games like Crysis, Stalker, COD4 with no corruption or other graphics problems. This game needs a patch and is unplayable without one. Unfortunately I rushed in head first and bought the game without ... Read More Rating: - A Good game IF you have the right video card and driver...I have experienced the same video problems that many others have with this game. When I first purchased the game I was using an ATI X850XT video card and had no problems playing this game. I recently upgraded my video card to an NVidia 8800GT and the game would go "crazy" after about five minutes with flashing and flaky video problems to where I could barely figure out how to exit the game. It was unplayable and very frustrating. I looked for updates from Activision (of which there were NONE) and ... Read More Rating: - HorribleThis game has so many bugs its unplayable. Installed it on my main gaming system, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 gigs memory, 8800GTX video card and after a few mins of play the video would hang, get jumpy, and eventually the whole game would freeze. After searching the web i saw 1000's of people complaining about the same problems. I saw a few people claim they got the game to work on older systems. So i installed it on my laptop, P4 3ghz, 1 gig mem, with on board video. The end result, not any better. Activision ... Read More |
