Did they pay Norman Chad or vice versa?

User Rating: 3.5 | World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets PC

Once you get past the annoying fact that your avatar makes the same 10 second reaction every hand this game goes downhill from there. Rather than creating believeable AI, the higher skill levels just give the non-player characters unbelievable hands, and luck. All in with 4 8 and win every time. Listening to Norman Chad at the beginning and end of every tournament gets old fast. You cannot save and return to a tournament. No explanation of the other side game types. You have three speed choices,so slow you grow old waiting, really slow, and so fast it is impossible to tell what is going on.
There is minimal to no support.
Better luck next time.
