You can’t win a million with Million Dollar Poker

Nokia’s latest N-Gage release is Million Dollar Poker, and I’ve had a look at it over on All About Symbian; more specifically on Ovi Gaming. Nokia are shouting about this title, an the main selling point in this poker game (which is the third poker game to feature on the new N-Gage platform) is their support for online multi-player.

Yes, Million Dollar Poker is here, and with a good handle on the terminology of poker, I think I can safely say that the closest poker term to describe Million Dollar Poker is… a bit of a flop.

This is the third attempt at a Poker game on the N-Gage (it’s even more prevalent than a falling blocks game, a la Tetris). Both Cafe Poker and World Series of Poker Pro Challenge have had issues that stop them being genuinely good games. They all had just enough wrong with them to keep them in the “quirky” category.

Unfortunately Million Dollar Poker suffers many of the same issues, and while it’s got a big name licence behind it (Gus Hansen, three times World Poker Tour winner, who is involved in a number of online Poker endeavours), it still doesn’t quite work as a game with mass appeal.

The full review is at Ovi Gaming.
