Too much graphics, too little card sense November 28, 2008
Glenn M. Runyan (Baton Rouge, LA United States)
I upgraded from Hoyle 2005 looking for a bridge game that was more sophisticated. Instead, it was slow in card playing (flipping the cards as played), partners card were so small as to be unreadable and the programming had not been approved.
Not the greatest November 25, 2008
C. Richardson (Fleetwood, Pa United States)
I purchased this game basicly for one card game (pitch) and to replace my old Bicycle Gin card game which Vista 64 won't run. I agree with the rest of the reviews, the cards are small and very hard to read. It looks like they are in the shadows and not highlighted. I also have an issue with the gameplay. In playing Rummy 500 it seems like the computer gets all of the high cards. I have yet to win a game which is frustrating. I paid $12.00 for it so I'm not going to complain too much, but I can't recommend it. If I can find a better product it will be replaced.

How does a card game get botched????
During a time when games like Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5 blur the line between fiction and reality, I am rendered speechless by this indefensible crap.
it's over 600mb!!!...for a f'ing card game??? HOW!?!?!?!?
The cards are illegible and I have to watch the cpu play out each f'ing hand even after I fold.
This pos crashed my computer too. Unreal.
I wish I could hand out negative scores cuz I have to go through the pain of uninstalling this crap and who knows what residual shi* it has smeared onto my registry.

All in all it's just okay. Sometimes the view of the table is completely obscured by the lamp in the game. Also some of the functions on a few of the games from 2008 have been removed (such as being able to review previous hands in a bridge game).
i can't read the fne print! November 21, 2008

Good grief! What a waste of my time and money. I even tried getting right up to the computer screen in order to see the cards. I can't put my finger on the exact problem but it seems to be the angle at which the cards are shown. Very uncomfortable and a strain for me. Uninstalled and back in the box.
