Story: This one isn't said but I'm sure it goes off the original of "just to play poker" if you wanna see the first Poker Night at the Inventory's story, it's here
This is the same game... that's only be about a quarter true if I said that. Sure they still have the Texas Hold 'em but they introduced Omaha Hold 'em too which is basically the same game but the players get 4 cards instead of 2. This time around you have some new contestants and a new dealer. You have the Body Guard Brock Samson from the Venture Brothers series, CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot or better known as Claptrap from the Borderlands series, Ash Williams from the Evil Dead and then Sam from Sam & Max series [don't worry Max still appears in a booster seat behind Sam]. And lastly the new dealer GLaDOS from the Portal series. If you wouldn't imagine it, I'll tell you now, more people means more stories and more comedy. This one has definitely brought a few more laughs in than last game. The characters portrayals are pretty darn good, I think even spot on, they way they communicate and tell each other stories will definitely make you wanna play a few rounds just to hear what they have to say. The game plays as it should, nothing to complain about, it's poker, unless the code messes up I haven't seen any issues with "bad bets" or "better outcomes being thrown away for a pair". With a bit more unlockables and even made it a bit easier to get them, this one is surely a notch higher than the original for me.
Rating: 72/100
Reason: Visuals good, the frame rate was a bit more stable too. The overall kicker for this game though was the new Omaha Hold 'em which made the game help me learn the ways to win and give me a sporting chance. Again, I will go back on, these characters being together are funny. It's a good laugh seeing them interact with each other. Why not play a poker game with a body guard, another worldly robot, a supernatural mercenary, a dog detective and an evil mastermind robot as your dealer?
