Video Game Reviews of The Price is RightCustomer Review: It's just like being there Summary: 4 StarsI'm typing this while watching the show!!
I watch the show almost everyday, and because of that, my wife bought me this game to play on our Wii, this past weekend. I've only played it twice so far, but on my 2nd attempt I won the showcase showdown and a Cadillac!! What I didn't like was the fact that my Cadillac was a 2006 model, not a 2009 as you would think for such a new game. As everyone else has said, the graphics are kinda weak, and they don't show the host on screen. I've only played by myself, so I'm disappointed that when I play with my wife, we will have to share a single controller. This is going to suck because our home theater seats aren't that close to each other, so we will have to throw the controller across the room to share it.
The game is over after you fail to win three game elements, each considered a strike. I don't consider failing to get the correct price on contestants row a failure, since you get multiple attempts on the real show, but on the game, you are a loser if you don't guess the price of an item. After three strikes the game is over, then you have to start again from the beginning. The object of the game is to accumulate as much cash as you can, based on the retail prices of the prizes you win. So the game just keeps repeating itself until you get three strikes, and however accumulates the most money is considered the winner. This will be a great game to pull out when friends come over, but for playing alone, I forsee me becoming bored with it after about five plays. Luckily, I also got Monopoly, so I have another great game to play.
