The World Poker Tour's officially licensed video game was released at primary North American retailers yesterday for PlayStation 2, Microsoft's Xbox, and Nintendo Game Boy Advance. The WPT-themed game, which is the first poker video game to feature real casinos, was released by a Take-Two Interactive Software publishing label called 2K Sports.
The WPT video game was designed to resemble the televised World Poker Tour coverage as realistically as possible. First off, the game puts players in virtual representations of some of the actual casinos where the WPT takes place, including the Bicycle Casino, the Commerce Casino, Bay 101, Foxwoods Resort Casino, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, and The Aviation Club de France. The game preserves details from the actual venues, down to the lighting, interior decoration, gaming floor layout, and even the carpeting.
Creating a realistic World Poker Tour game would be impossible without including Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten. The WPT program's hosts are 'virtually' on board to provide players with helpful commentary. Aside from both hosts, what would the World Poker Tour be without a significant measure of pro poker muscle? That's why virtual representations of Antonio "the Magician" Esfandiari, Erick Lindgren, Evelyn Ng, Lyle Berman, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, and Phil "Unabomber" Laak are featured.
Even though playing against even virtual poker pros is exciting, nothing beats flesh and blood competition. Thankfully, the newly released World Poker Tour game allows players to play against contenders all over the world.
