Obvious console port to PC makes a sub par PC game

User Rating: 3 | World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets PC
I play online poker pretty regularly, watched the World Series of Poker for the past few years and was excited to "play with the pros". Installed on a machine that plays World of Warcraft, Titan Quest and other mainstream games at average graphics settings. Not the latest technologies but good enough.

Voices are out of sync with animations. Animations run extremely slow for some reason. Key shortcuts on the one page instruction pamphlet are incorrect. The user interface is not very intuitive. The game is made for joystick play and little was done to make it usable for mouse/keyboard.

Game play is reasonable once you mire through the animations. Poker tips are helpful.

Even though Activision is the first animation you see, there is no support on their web site. You instead need to go to Activision Value. There are no support solutions for the game on the Activision Value web site. After contacting them about patches and/or graphics performance improvements, they said neither were available.

Play some other poker game instead because you do not get quality time with the celebrities in the game.
