 A pale ghost of Bridge Deluxe II June 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My original aquaintence was Bridge Deluxe II. It was a great introduction to bridge. The lessons logically progressed and Omar Shariff was a gentle and patient teacher. Unforturnately when Windows XP replaced Windows '98, Bridge Deluxe II was no longer compatable. Many years passed until I finally found what I thought was the Bridge Deluxe II that I fondly remembered. I didn't think twice and bought it immediately. What a disappointment. The tutorial provided was of no help and was essentially the equivalent of being thrown in a swiming pool while told, "Sink or swim"
The graphics are "cheesy" and were better on the original '98 version. Using the new program is a hit or miss proposition. I've navigated through a lot of programs in the last 13 years. This is the "pits" If you're new to bridge, better try elsewhere.

I used to have the Omar Sharif Bridge I, which was very straight forward. This one, Bridge II, is too glitzy. I don't like the layout of the hands and they have added too many bells and whistles which slows down the games.
Graphics terrible July 5, 2006

I bought Omar bridge yesterday, as the first two reviewers said it's not a very good program, but worth the $10 I paid. The program has alot of unnessary frills, ie you can change the lighting, scenary, and soundtrack; who cares about that? The bridge play is solid, but there is no discernable difference between the AIs. Also it's of dubious value for learning; you may or may not be able to review the play, there is no open hands at the end of play (so you can readily tell what everyone had). There is minimal/useless explaination of bids (and only at the end of play). 'Winning' is defined as gaining the most points, which is mostly due to chance. Ie if your opps bid and make slam, then you lost the 3 or 4 game rubber, no matter what. You can play network, but this option is worthless; you can play online with yahoo. Finally, the worst part is, you can't see the cards! You can barely make out your own hand, let alone dummy, or opps. (is that a spade or a club they threw down?). The program runs fine on my tricked out system (Athlon 64, 1 gig RAM, GForce 6600 GT), but that being said, if it doesn't work on a P3, then they are doing something wrong (since the graphics are terrible but fancy). ANyway, Jack is a far superior program, and you can get a demo (google it).
Terrible game March 16, 2006

This is by far the most disappointing bridge game ever. The 3-d effect is absolutely useless.
The play is useless as it highlights every play and bid. There is no challenge to this so called game.
I would have rated it a zero if that were available. Too bad software is not returnable as it would have been returned immediately.

Terrible. Graphics so bad, cannot tell Spades and Clubs apart. Play even at the fastest speed is very very slow. Computer partner bids irregularly. Computer partner always leads a trump against a suit contract. Cannot take back erroneus bids. Does not hold a candle to the original Omar Sharif game.
