 Lots of fun, but lots of system errors, 2005-10-03
I have owned Hoyle card games for years and I have always enjoyed them, but I have never had so many technical issues before, especially on the Cribbage game and then also on Hearts. (I saw one reviewer has had problems on Spades, but this has always worked for me.) Customer Support is of no help. They told me my system was too old (although it did have the minimum system requirements). When I got my new computer, it stil didn't work. I am so waiting for the new version to come out and hoping that the bugs will have been worked out!

Hoyle Card Games 2005, 2005-09-20
The content of the program is good - a lot of good games - easy enough to use. HOWEVER, the software has some bugs in it. The proper number of cards is not always dealt correctly to the players. The biggest problem is in the game of Spades. Consequently the game being played cannot be completed. I have used the repair function but it has not solved the problem

The games are challenging and all function as appropriate. The games are good for all ages.

A little new, a little old, 2005-09-11
I love Hoyle Card Games. Ever since the Facemaker came along, I've been having fun creating versions of people I know. This latest iteration is no exception, but now you are doing your customizations with Hoyle Bucks - a virtual carrot for you to chase that "unlocks" neat new features.
These new features include the ability to make monsters and pets (one style cat and dog, unfortunately), choose new music, choose new decks and backgrounds, and customize your character's play space with objects such as disco balls and a cold beverage. The virtual carrots also include new boards for cribbage. Nicely done.
My one point of contention comes with the new players and the bowing out of some old players.
The carryover players, such as Harley and Elaine, have very few new lines, if any. The new characters are pretty shallow and not entertaining in the least, save Capt. Scurvy. One question: What happened to GAX?! I'd drop Roswell in a second in favor of Gax.
By the way... Kudos for adding Spite and Malice!! It's my new favorite game!

Could be a lot better, 2005-09-03
There are several programming errors. As an example it doesn't save
the settings consistently so you will have to constantly reset it to your preferences. The game play is below average and there are not enough game specific options. For a simple card game program that Hoyle has updated for many years, it falls short in quality. I expected a much more refined product. My suggestion is to look elsewhere.
