Best Poker game out there, (and I have played them all)!

Firstly let me say that I have played all the other poker games out (WCP, WSOP, Bicycle etc) And this is by far the best of the bunch. 2K have the best character customization in the business and WPT does not dissapoint, having more options than I have seen in any customization system so far. So how does it play. I am not the Worlds best Poker player (by a long shot) but the game plays really well. I have been getting my a** kicked royally on Pro level so I dialled it down to amateur, and have been having a great time with it. I only got it today, so the online I haven't been able to test out yet, but the career mode follows the WPT to a tee.

Graphics are great looking. The AI characters are very nicely done and animate realistically and fluidly. The casinos look very nice, with people at a bunch of tables around the player, also playing and animating (a nice touch). 2K say that they are modelled after the real casinos so I went online to worldpokertour.com and theyre right!

Sound is great in this title. The announcers Mike and Vince are there in full force, and all the pro's have been sampled for the game which adds a nice bit of realism. It doesn't get repetitive and really adds to feeling of 'playng the TV show' .

Presentation is really well done to, with the wipes from the show, and a brilliant device which lets you change the expression of your player. This is a really nice touch, can't wait to use it online !

All in all a great poker title, and at 19.99 2K have done it again !
