Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament offers two ways to play: single-player and online. The single-player game is customizable by the number of CPU players you'd like to sit down with (it goes up to seven), the type of betting structure (limit or no limit), and the buy-in (you can start with as little as $5, which makes for an extremely quick game, or you can go all the way up to $1 million). You're playing against luminaries like Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, and Howard Lederer offline, and their level of play makes it seem believable. There's no way to toggle difficulty in the single-player game, however, which could prove daunting for new players. Also, the game doesn't seem to keep track of your history during offline play, which is a little strange given that the online mode boasts comprehensive individual stat-keeping, as well as a Hall of Fame.
That's not all that sets Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament's online offering apart. The online infrastructure lets you create an avatar so you can jump right into an automatic game, set up public or private games, find and play with buddies, and even use chat macros during play. Other games have come to market with some of these features, but none of them have managed to create an experience as integrated as this one. In our experience, network play demonstrated little or no latency, and messaging other players in a game seemed to work smoothly. The only real problem with the online game is an occasional lack of competition, as the game doesn't appear to populate missing seats with bots.
