Maybe it's my predisposition to not enjoy card games of this kind, but even with that pushed to the background in favor of cheats and mini-games, I wasn't feeling very stirred. The aim of the game is to pull in and entice those that aren't really fans of Texas Hold 'Em, but I think in the end, they may be the ones it actualy appeals to".
This is a textbook case of lackluster presentation and a clear sign of a lack of effort dragging down what would otherwise be a very solid game. When you have to stare at all the slapped-together menus all the time, it really does detract.

I want to save my progress, but am unable to because the game does not allow for it. There is a division between sets (four sets of four each) but within a set you can't save your progress. This is the biggest drawback I see in the game."

Anyways, from having no knowledge of the game i booted it up to see whats what.
MAIN MENU
At the title screen you have a few options, single player, multiplayer, leader boards, achievements , help and options and return to game library, which exits the game. Very basic in its look but does its job..."
