Reception

Multimedia Celebrity Poker won a negative review from PC Gamer US , whose writer Michael Wolf called it "just a poker sim with a gimmick" that "wears off as quickly as the video starts repeating itself". [1] Donald St. John of Electronic Entertainment found the game "not good at all". [4] Computer Gaming World 's Alan Emrich was more positive, writing, "As a purely entertaining experience, which is clearly what New World had in mind for this product, it succeeds, but with considerable limitations." [3]
