I started this game up and went straight to the online. I joined a game and it crashed. I had to completely turn off my playstation and start all over. I went to play online again and it refused to let me join any of the games so I went to play a regular game and it crashed again. I would give you more details about the game but evertimie I try and play a game it crashes. Don't they test the games before they put them out? Back to the store with this pile.

The game freezes up, so don't buy it.

When this game is working, it's a fun game. However, and this cannot be understated, the game will occasionally freeze-up. This gets VERY frustrating when you're playing tournaments in career mode (solo play) and the game freezes up. Then you have to reset the PS2, restart the game and start the tournament all over again.

This freeze-up problem is absolutely inexcusable. Based on this problem alone, don't buy this game. There's NO reason that this game should have gone to production as it currently is. Other people who own this game have reported the same problem. My sincere hope is that Crave Games doesn't ignore this problem, but deals with it.

Bottom line: The game is flawed, so don't buy it.

The fine line of love and hate

I wish I had read these reviews before I bought the game. It really does crash a lot. I loved this game at first - it really is fun when it works. But now evertime I play I wonder how long it will take before it crashes on me. I can't even enjoy it anymore because I know my efforts will be in vane. And the game doesn't allow you to save once you enter a tournament so once it crashes on you (and it most likely will) you have to start all over again. I'm a pretty patient person, but when you make it to the final table with $52K in a 300-person tournament only to have the game crash on you, it's pretty upsetting... and when it happens 8 times you want to just throw the whole system out the window.

Were they in a hurry to get this game out or something?? It's a pretty common glitch that should've been fixed.

I had a choice to buy this game or World Championship Poker 1. I should've picked 1.

BUGGY SOFTWARE -- AVOID

This game has a consistent crash bug that makes large tournament play impossible ( crashes in mid-game with no way to complete these tournaments ). The Crave website even states that this bug exists -- why wasn't this game tested before I and many others spent our money on it? This is unacceptable and I will avoid all titles Crave puts out in the future.

This is a good poker game. It has by far the best poker AI among games out right now. There are several flaws that keep the game from being as fun as it can be. It tends to take too long during hands you can't speed through the action. It forces you to play types of poker that you may not want to play like 5 card draw and pineapple. The pros rarely appear through the game and when they do they don't stand out anymore than anyone else. And the game has problems with freezing deep into tournaments. Overall the poker is fun but is held back by flaws.

This game is really good for the novice player, unless you're interested in Texas hold-em no limit tournament play. I can validate that it crashes frequently in tournament play; I've had this happen 4 times so far, over a career with $1M in chips earned. It's really frustating because that's the game I most want to master. Based on the other reviews, it's pretty clear that this game was not appropriately tested before being released. If you want to learn no limit tournaments, I recommend buying the Wilson Tournament Texas Hold-em software for your PC.

I got this game and was playing in career mode and it crashed. I was in my 5th Week and playing 7-Card Stud in my cheesy basement. My opponent had been betting heavy into the pot and I decided to take a shot with a pair of 10's. My opponent had made a few tells that usually indicate weakness in his hand. On the last card my opponent bet into the pot with more chips than I had, so I went all in. And I lost and then the game crashed hard. There was a short message about trying to find a (second) pot to split (which shouldn't have been an issue because we were the only two players). lame

Great Game

Everybody says they have this game and say it crashes. But mine deosn't crash, so it's hard to believe that everybody elses does. Right now I just got past a tournament with around 250 people and I got through the whole thing and still played and mine never froze. But for one thing, look at the game not how much it crahes. It's a good game for crying out loud. I got this game for Christmas, and sure, it's not the best game in the world, but I think it's good. Stop reading this for a second, and look at the other reviews, all they talk about how theres crashed. One person mentioned it was good and still gave it a bad score. In the game where I am you're not even forced to do the 200+ tournaments. I was impressed with the poker games on this. For those of you who like poker games, wanted this one, and kept seeing bad reveiws, here's a good one for you. Hope thi helps!

BIG NAME RIP-OFF

You would think that a BIG NAME poker star would not sell his name to a piece of junk software poker CD promotion, but that is not the case here. I won't be purchasing anything else this particular BIG NAME poker star endorses. You burn me once and you are off my nice guy list forever; no exceptions.

The Crave website actually posts this note:

POKER 2: Large Tournaments Crash
There is an issue on World Champion Poker 2 will the game will crash when trying to complete a tournament of 200 people and higher. Before you can finish any of these events, the game will crash.

GREAT news to discover after working your way through hours of gameplay several times to near a final table. I would add that I have had tournaments of 30 people crash as well. I am outraged that they would not have had this tested before marketing and selling. I will NEVER buy a Crave game product again.
