Caesars Palace 2000: Millennium Gold Edition

"A Fun Multi-Player Casino Game"

Graphics - I was impressed with the graphics overall. The dealers' hands are animated, and look *very* realistic. I also felt that the transitions at the beginnings of the table-top gambling games were well done and smooth.

Sound - I like to hear the ambient chatter in the background of casino games, because it adds so much to the atmosphere of the gaming experience. The sound was done perfectly in my opinion in this game, from the ambience (as mentioned) to the roulette wheel and to the slot machines.

Gameplay - The great thing about the gameplay is that there will be games you will instantly know how to play and others that you have to check the tutorials on how to begin. The buttons are fairly simple and you'll be betting in no time.

Load Time - It is a little disappointing that the game must load between every game and to get back to the menu, but it is a playstation game, so you can't expect load times to be eliminated.

Replayability - I think that the game has good replay potential if you can play with some friends - but just single player might get a little old after a while.
There are options to save and load data from memory cards, which could result in long term playing, too.

Difficulty - This is the first casino game I got, so I don't really have anything to base the difficulty on, but most of the games seemed fairly hard to win. But, then again, it is based on real casinos that try to make as much money as possible :)

Overall - With most unique games like Caesar's Palace 2000, you can pretty much guess from the title whether or not you will like it - its not a game for everyone. I guess I'll leave it at that.
