Hearts HD! Hack 2.15 + Redeem Codes

C'mon, Woosy Folks!! A computer can't "gang up" on YOU!!!! You asked for a tough game, so these folks gave it to you!!! Excellent graphics, wonderful, strategies, and thrilling challenges. The wife and I agree that the 'hard' version is very difficult. But, after LOSING several times in a row, we began to think 'outside' our 'normal' Hearts Strategy box, we have learned how to (routinely) catch them all, and (even, many times) choose who WE give the QUEEN TO!!!!! Count your cards, folks... pay attention to who's playing what, and you'll do FINE! You won't win every time - but you'll do fine.

This game plays well in easy and medium for anyone just learning the game, but in hard mode, at least the version I am playing, the three opponents actively conspire together against us, the "player." I have watched one of them pass up a chance to drop the queen on one of the others only to drop it on me.
Recently, in one evening of play I was dealt on three occasions no spades. Each time that happened Ann passed me the Ace And King of spades and a junk card. And I have NEVER been passed those two cards together anytime else.
The guy on the left ALWAYS leads spades as soon as he can every time I hold the Queen, but only occasionally if I am not holding her.
I believe that the cards are mostly honestly randomly dealt, but the players will protect each other to get you if they can. It 's "hard" because its not honest play. And that is irritating enough that I have vowed never to pay for any game from Optime until such time as they fix it to just play non-conspiratorially.

I think some reviewers are missing a point. It is incredibly hard to write an algorithm to play Hearts like a good human or advanced AI. The rules of Hearts are simple, but the strategy is not. There are lots of stratagems: bluffing a run, false carding, aggressive and deceptive passing. And the tactics must shift with the situation. Yes, in Hard mode this game "cheats". It is 3 against one. The bots conspire. They "know" what's in your hand. In other words it is a real challenge to win. You cannot trust the bots to act in their self-interest the way a human player would. All of which makes it satisfying when you eke out a victory. "Take that, cheating bots." Yes, the programmers could have resisted taking short-cuts but then there would be no Hard mode. Just easy victories. Boring. By the way, the 3 bots do have different "personalities": they pursue different strategies.

When playing with the Jack of diamonds option, your opponents freely throw the Jack away when not necessary. I think the software plays the highest card in the suit so when you have all diamonds it play the Jack if highest. Makes trying to win very frustrating when you see ridiculous moves by your competitors.

The logarithm needs work to make the cards more random. Several times I have gotten the same cards in a row. Plus, it would be nice to have the ability to see what was just played. I swore I played a lower card but still came up with the points. This usually happens when the queen of spades has just been played by another player. There was also a time I had 26 points and when it came to the end of the hand, my partner then had the 26 points added to her score. Scoring isn’t consistent. All three players (even my partner) seem to gang up against me during the hand. This has the potential to be a great game but I won’t buy it until these issues are corrected.

Use to love this, but give up with all the irritating problems.
1. The scoring frequently goes crazy and starts subtracting scores from players so instead of the correct points at that time it starts adding a minus sign and sub tracks an amount so a score of, say, 20” suddenly becomes “20(-8)” which has suddenly subtracted 8 points
2. I will NEVER pay a monthly fee to get no ads on any game, and these ads are particularly annoying: flashing ads are always visible under the game and hurts visibility of the cards but WORSE could give an epileptic a seizure. These are always on. Then between games one has to wait forever to get the ad to close so one can go on to the next game.

I have enjoyed playing this game but I have two complaints. First, you'll be playing a good game and then at the end of the hand the score comes up giving three players 26 points. It's impossible to get 78 points in one hand.....very frustrating....have to start the game over! Second, on my iPhone I paid for the upgrade so that I wouldn't have ads showing at bottom of screen. You would think that when I purchased the upgrade it would have synced to my iPad as well. I play Hearts on both devices about 50-50. Other than that the game is good.

I enjoyed this game and was perfectly happy with the ads running on the bottom of the screen BUT recently they started throwing up full screen ads even in the middle of a hand and it’s happening a LOT. I started looking for a different one but the alternative that I downloaded is obviously by the same company as the same thing happened INSTANTLY. My first game I was hit with 2 full screen ads before I’d played 3 hands - not games - hands. I removed it instantly and will keep looking. I’ll just have to restrict my playing to my laptop where I have a version that doesn’t have this problem.

The biggest problem with this game is apparently the computer is not smart enough to recognize when one of the three opponents is trying to run the board. The three players will always throw the biggest card in their hand that keeps them from catching any points even if it means allowing the other two players to run the points. This does not apply when you are trying to run the board, they will hold bigger cards to stop you.

The graphics are great. They are way behind the times in making you tap the middle of the table to play your cards. The big thing is that they want to show you how many games the computer can win. The hands are mostly all rigged. The cards are not static after the deal & always shift around so that the player will have the high cards. If you have the five of a suit, the 2, 3, & 4 are always divided among the other three hands. Not once in over a year of playing this awful excuse for a card game have I ever seen it go any other way! You can't beat a cheater. I would give this zero stars if I could.
