I bought this game because of its cheap price point, $4.99. I’m glad I did as it is a very high quality game. The graphics are wonderful, they are actual people filmed playing poker. It just looks great. If you like Hold’em, this game is for you. The sound is also good, simple but effective.You can play against computers and your friends. Its a really great package. The only drawback is the file size, 128mb but the quality of the sound, graphics and gameplay easily make up for it. You can play in many different areas from the garage to a  cruise ship, Dubai to Vegas! I believe this is a must have. Great job Apple!

Gameplay: 95% - Classic Hold’em, it never gets old
Graphics: 100% - Lifelike graphics looks great!
Sound: 85% - Simple but effective
Value: 100% - $5!
Lasting Appeal: 95% - You can play bots or friends!
Overall: 95% - A great package.

Thanks for reading! If there’s anything I need to fix or you wanna know something, post a comment.

    The iPod can be a terrific blind counter/timer as well. A quick download on an iPhone saved one of our Friday night games.
