Championship Poker will allow players to enter different tournaments in different locations, ranging from a TV studio to a Mississipi Riverboat, and to create their own fully customisable characters with over eighty different options to mould a player’s look. Over eighteen different poker games are available including Texas Hold’em, Five Card Draw and Pineapple, as well as poker tutorials and hints and tips on strategy.
Scheduled for release in fourth quarter of 2004, World Championship Poker will be available for next generation console and handheld systems with a MSRP of $19.99
