Summary: Pointless and useless
Comment: First, I had to download over 250 files from the manufacturer to get the thing to work right out of the box. The process took over 4 hours and several tries. I don't understand why new software isn't sold complete.
Second, the graphics are neat but they take the space of the cards. The cards are very tiny and extremely difficult to see so the games are very tough on the eye.
Third, it has been a week since I emailed the manufacturer and still no response. That says it all. This is another "take their money and run operation".
I should have read the reviews which are all pretty bad for a reason!

Summary: Earlier Version is MUCH better
Comment: When we upgraded our PC to a Vista platform, we thought it was necessary to upgrade our Hoyle Card Games 4.0 too. So we purchased the Holyle Card Games 2009 (which claims Vista compatibility) and have been extremely disappointed with it.
So much effort has been put into to creating vivid backgrounds but not enough thought went into the visual aspect of the cards. When trying to play solitaire it seems that the cards are too small to see clearly and the cards are placed too close together to differentiate one card from the next etc.
We tried selecting the Large cards option and tried changing the display resolution, but nothing worked well enough.
The game has a variety of tables to play on and if you wish, it will choose tables at random. Well in many of the tables, the cards hang over the edge of the table. It seems like there was little or no QA before this product shipped.
So now for the good news. Hoyle Card Games 4.0 does install and work well on the Vista platform. So if you have the old version or can buy the old version, it is a much better product. I

Summary: Smallllll Cards
Comment: The cards are so small in "Competitive Games" like Poker and the games where the player has a hand. The players on the home version are few and there are many wierd cartoon players like birds, bears, etc., and you have to exchange them every game. Just not a good match for me.
Plus, the 250 plus file download updates fail at file 154 and never finish. I won't wait the long time required to get hold of customer service.

Highly recommend.

Comment: I owned an older version of this product and liked the way it was set up better than this newer version. The older one was easier to use.
