 Reality bites, literally...Odds favor the computers' players not the challenger. August 18, 2008
Illustrations and animation are exceptional. Ability to create a self image is fun. Drawback is that the player gets lousy cards, especially the Bridge Hands!
Not worth the upgrade August 16, 2008
It's a great game - but I had the older version and was just as happy with it. This was harder to install and the features in this "updated version" weren't much different than the older one. I could have saved the money and kept the old one. Also, it would have been nice if the high scores and the charachter I had created for myself in the previous version were transferred to the upgrade.
If you are purchasing this for the first time - it is totally worth it. But if you are expecting something new and different by upgrading to this verion, you will be dissappointed.
 disappointing August 13, 2008
Disappointed in the quality of programming. For example, in spades, the characters routinely make dumb plays -- last one playing uses a high spade rather than a low one or the partner has played an ace and will take trick but the character uses a spade even though the trick would be taken by the team. The poker game often results in similar hands being dealt (e.g., 3 pairs of 5s over 6 hands) which seem to defy statistical odds. The programmed verbiage gets old quick (how often does one need to hear "let me see,........check"). Could use a decent version of hold 'em - the "video poker" edition was found lacking.
 Hoyle Card Games 2008 August 9, 2008
If you enjoy playing card games, and who doesn't, this is a great product to purchase! If you are a beginner or not familiar with some of the games, Help, or the Book that comes with the CD, is very informative.
 2008, complete, easy, basic, as expected August 6, 2008
Easy to read, Games are listed. Kings corners, and the card game "500" (not Rummy 500) are NOT on this release. I did learn how to play Canasta after 39 years of not playing. Powerful, takes over my computer completely. Hours of entertainment to relax by. 50 different Solitaire.
My grandchildren love the facial creation area, where they can choose everything from the eyebrows, mouth hair, color etc. Be sure to get the CD/DVD version. Comes with the thick "how to" book. games are complete, although you can purchase different card backs and styles.
