*Pitiful*. The "brain" behind this software, in the Gin Rummy option, is *horrible*. *Frequently*, my hands are not optimally parsed. For example, one time I had 5-6-7-8 of clubs, two other 8's, and four of a kind of some other denomination ... a *gin* hand! *But* the program *insisted* upon putting the 8 of clubs into the 5-6-7 run, instead of with the other two 8's, and wouldn't allow me to knock, telling me that I had 16 in deadwood. Another time I had K-Q-J-10 of hearts, two other 10's, and 6 in "deadwood" in the remaining four cards. When the AI opponent knocked with 8, I should have scored an undercut, but, instead, my 10 of hearts was grouped with the K-Q-J, instead of with the other two 10's, leaving me losing by 18! This sort of thing has happened to me about every 5 to 8 hands. I'd *never* recommend this game to *anyone*: it's *trash* which shouldn't have been published without minimal testing. Shame on Telegames for releasing this game and shame on Nintendo for approving Telegames' release of this game.
Wow... That's really surprising. I haven't played the game, but it happens to be getting extremely high reviews. Perhaps those critics aren't as familiar with the pariticular card games you cite. Hmmmm.....
Death to Videodrome... long live the new flesh!
