What our customer's say!

"Reality based 2004", I lived in Las Vegas for several years and enjoyed my casino experiences. This game is the most fun, and the most realistic of any I have played. It is by far my favorite of all the casino games I have found. It makes my homesick for the fun I had in the "real" casinos from the table games to the slot machines. This one is a winner!

"Hoyle puzzle games", I love (most of) these games. A couple of the games seem rather pointless but my favorite is the Star Collector game. I also like Rays and a couple of the Tile games. I've owned this for several years and put it away sometimes but so far have always come back to it and enjoyed it again. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of it.

"GREAT card games", Oh this is a blast to play card games on your computer.
The card games give you real competition.

"For word gamers", This is a good collection of games for a break in the day, or a brain challenge to keep you on your toes. It's quick, fun, and provides a variety of choices for you to spend a little "play" time.

"The Most Recent Good Hoyle Card Game Version", Graphically The Same As 2005, 2007...Still Definitive Hoyle Card Game. Fun for playing alone (many talking, animated opponents and partners to choose from), and owning the game also lets you use your own characters, card designs, and backgrounds on Hoyle's on-line playing site at Sierra.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Addictive!", I enjoy this game very much, as do others to come to my house. This particular box I recently bought for a friend was not compatible with his laptop PC for some reason. It works fine on my desk computer though.

"Casino 2004?", Let me start by saying that the graphics and audio interaction is nice. However, that is where it ends. They have removed some of the video slots that were on the old version and as far as the poker goes? This is the most non-dealing version I have ever seen. I have played some poker in real life and I have never gone so many hands without even a pair, had so many "high card" hands in a row and seen so many flushes, full houses and four of a kind hands as the "computer players" get in a tournament. I was really disappointed in this version. I have faithfully bought the new versions each time they came out, however I have doubts about doing it again. Sierra/Hoyle let me down this time.

"It knows what you have in your hand!", This game is OK for the basics, but don't expect anywhere near a real experience here. I can't tell you how many times I get beat on the last card, with just one higher card, say a 9 high to my 8 high. Always with only one card higher! That's not real. Plus, too many of the players are idiots, while a few are otherworldly lucky. It's nothing close to a random draw, and that's what you need for a real experience.

"have to learn all over again", It takes some time to get used to the fact that you have to play it with the CD in.

"Needing the CD is bad for a specific reason:", I have heard a million reasons why inserting the CD is annoying or it could get lost etc - all of which are great reasons against requiring the CD in the drive. I always go back to consoles and think the PC has every right to require the same as the consoles. There is, however, a MAJOR thing that Hoyle/Sierra forgot and they are frankly dumb as dirt to forget this:

Who plays this game? I'd wager a very significant percentage of the purchasers are people like me that wanted the game for our LAPTOPS! I just bought a new tablet PC and would love to sit and play some simple games on the plane that don't require action or awesome CPU power and I can play while I fly or wait at the airport. I have truly abused the poor poker players on Hoyle Casino 2003 for this reason, yet never loaded it on my desktop (which plays Doom 3 quite well thank you) ;)

So, now Sierra lost me as a customer simply because I *cannot* play this game. I have no CD drive in my laptop. My other laptop I've been using has a CD drive but I take it out and replace it with a battery. Putting the drive in means I can't play the game cause it would suck my remaining battery dry. plus, other than for the game, I haven't travelled with a CD drive in years.

What a group of dummies running the marketing department at Sierra.
