Xbox Live Arcade Review: Poker Smash - Page 2

Part of: Xbox Live Arcade Games

Can you go online with Poker Smash? The answer is yes. Poker Smash features full online and offline multiplayer split screen game play. The game also features a “tournament” mode for online play. In this mode, players get poker chips depending on how they’re doing, and losing all of your chips eliminates that player until only one remains. It’s an incredibly frantic, yet fun way to play online.

I have a friend with a developer’s kit who had swore that Poker Smash was one of the most addicting games on Xbox Live, and after weeks of hearing him praise it, I have to agree. To say you’ll get sucked in is an understatement. Poker Smash is a game that’s simple, yet fun. If you want a solid puzzle title, look no further.

Pros: Simple, yet addicting game play, good graphics, and great control mechanics.

Cons: Rather simple game play may not offer much challenge for experienced gamers.

Poker Smash is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Mild Language.
