Customer Review: Fair concept, poorly written and compiled.
Summary: 1 Stars
While this game has a pretty good concept, it is way too quirky to be much fun. Twice it erased players I had created that had made it fairly far in the tournaments and had compiled a goodly number of chips. Definitely suspicious. The "Ah'm gonna go awwll iiyuhnnn" idiots which seem to inhabit this game to the max don't make the game more fun, they help to ruin it Phooey, what a sorry job of putting together a game.
A couple of changes could salvage this game, though. 1) Give me the ability to backhand those idiots that make smart and derogatory remarks. After all, I don't get make remarks about them. 2) Give me a list of remarks to the idiot that says, "Maybe next time you will better consider your play", or "Do you know who I am?" or, "Just who do you think you are?"
I can think of several remarks that would put these losers in their place, but maybe a simple backhand that would knock them off their chair and give them a black eye or a bloody nose would be best.
As an addendum to this: I think I have found out how the "artificial intelligence" works. See if any of you other folks have experienced this. You start out and things work out pretty much as you have experienced in other Texas Hold 'Em games, but then as you start accumulating some chips, suddenly you start getting hands that are just a little bit worse than your opponents. Oh, you'll win occasionally, just to keep you from trashing the game, but eventually you will lose all your chips. Again, occasionally, you might win a tournament so that you will continue to play, but mostly you lose by that one card - you have an Ace, 10 to pair with the community cards Ace and your opponent has, lo and behold, an Ace, Jack. and you lose. I have played this game several hundred times and the "artificial intelligence" has figured me out. Believe me, this isn't a plus for artificial intelligence but a huge minus. They finally convinced me - I won't be playing it again. Nor will I ever buy another game of any kind from Myelin.
Customer Review: DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
Simply put, this game was released without any testing. It's basically in an early beta stage, but you have to pay to test it. It's full of bugs. Trying to play online for more than 10 minutes without getting disconnected is impossible. I can't even find someone to buy my used copy.
Don't be fooled by any cute marketing. This game isn't worth one cent. To be honest, you'll be disappointed if you download a cracked version. It's just a major waste of time.
The AI is so so, but who buys a game to just play against the computer?
DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
Customer Review: Don't take the advice
Summary: 3 Stars
The graphics are very good and the game play is great, however the advice is ridiculous. for example the advice is to allways call suited cards with the odds of getting a flush on the flop is .84% and flush by the river is 6.4%. On the button or in the small blind the advice is to raise with even a 7-2 offsuit and to check K-10 in the big blind when the small blind limps in.
I really like Daniel Negraneau, but I am sure he didn't win the WSOP by playing like this. This is a recipe for disaster.
Customer Review: Most Realistic Poker Sim Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it's true . . . this game was delayed for a LONG time. And yes, it was WAY hyped leading up to its release. But that being said, it delivers everything it promised to deliver: high-quality graphics, varied NPC's, and seamless online play. Unlike many online PC games, where it's a chore to find a game, I was seated at a table and playing about 15 seconds after I clicked on Online Play. I'm playing on a 4-year-old system, and haven't crashed once, even though I've spent a lot of time playing the game. It is, by far, the closest re-creation of what it's like to play at a real casino on the market, and for me, anyway, it was well worth the wait.Customer Review: Stacked: over-hyped and under-delivered
Summary: 1 Stars
Given all of the hype and delays in getting this to the stores, I would certainly have expected more quality. The game itself is limited in what you can do (that is, no extras beyond the poker table), so don't expect a "rich" game experience. It's just poker, and just hold'em at that. As advertised, so no gripes there.
The interface is non-intuitive; check the online settings to get your PC keypad short-cut keys. Using the keyboard makes the game palatable, if it not were for the fact that it crashes regularly on my machine (only 1 year old, so it's not some clunker running an obsolete operating system). The program is extremely buggy; I could not run it in full screen mode because it would immediately crash. Now it is crashing in "windowed" mode.
Very disappointing, this won't get any more play time from me. If you are still eager to buy it, wait. The price should plummet unless the vendor fixes the bugs (used copies are already dropping in price). And then again, maybe they'll fix the bugs.
I thought $[...] was a bargain for what was being promised. I don't feel that way anymore; I overpaid for what I received.
