"Decent; comparable to Hoyle software"
Version: 100% Free Hearts Card Game for Windows 7.42
Pros
More real than pre-installed windows game
Cons
A bit slow and predictable
Summary
Realistic hearts strategies, unlike the Windows 7 freebie. Kind of slow, though. Some annoyances, like other players' failure to stop a shoot the moon, unless it's you. I'm still looking for a competitive time-waster since my older softwares don't work with Win7.

"Software Tracks Too Much Info"

I started to install; stopped and read the fine print; realized that I was agreeing to tracking.
Summary

"You get what you pay for."
Version: 100% Free Hearts Card Game for Windows 7.42
Pros
Cute game with Jack of Diamonds option.
Cons
slow and cards flicker when played
Summary
I have Windows 7 64 bit and it installed just fine for me. I was also able to uncheck the boxes that wanted to install the toolbar. I'm not quite sure why others were having problems with that. The game was cute and it was nice to see the Jack of Diamonds option, which a lot of hearts games do not have. The one thing that was problematic was the "flickering" of the cards being played. Other than that it was a cute quirtky game for free.
