WORLD POKER TOUR PLAYSTATION POKER GAME
Major technology innovations in new mobile poker product
The Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. partnership with Steve Lipscomb's
World Poker Tour will bear fruit this spring when the mobile version
of World Poker Tour will be available for play on Play Station handsets.
World Poker Tour announced this week that the USA launch includes real-life
professional poker stars and venues featured in the popular World Poker Tour
television series with enhanced A.I. players, customizable characters and online
capabilities compatible with PlayStation 2 consoles.
Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts and involved in the project says:
"By partnering with the trusted World Poker Tour brand, we are bringing
both gamers and poker fans alike the most realistic poker experience available.
And now that World Poker Tour will be available on the PSP, gamers can enjoy
the game wherever they go."
World Poker Tour for PSP allows gamers to take a seat at the world's most prestigious
poker tournaments and make their mark in the virtual poker arena. The game will
feature the virtual equivalents of real pros such as Antonio "the Magician"
Esfandiari, Erick Lindgren, Evelyn Ng, Lyle Berman, Michael "The Grinder"
Mizrachi and Phil "Unabomber" Laak.
Online connectivity is a major part of playing World Poker Tour on the PSP.
Gamers will have the ability to connect wirelessly with other PSP systems or
online to compete against players across the country on both the PSP and the
PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
New enhancements to World Poker Tour for PSP include a completely new and innovative
artificial intelligence system that allows gamers to challenge more than 1,200
different characters, all with their own unique playing styles and behaviors.
Gamers who are able to bump up their career earnings can unlock custom clothes,
accessories, and invitational events found only in the PSP version.
Players can also create more than 4,000 custom variations of poker, and choose
to play against computer opponents or take their custom poker game online to
battle for poker supremacy.
World Poker Tour is currently available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox video game
and entertainment system from Microsoft and Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
