 Enjoyable December 2, 2008
This game is enjoyable. The contestant graphics are lame. The family has fun playing it.
 Bob Barker would be horrified November 30, 2008
Bought this game last night and was ready to return it an hour later.
Let's start off with the graphics, since everyone else on this site has commented that they're atrocious. I agree. The movements are almost animatronic in nature. Like the contestants were called to "Come On Down" right after a lobotomy. It's bad.
Wouldn't it have been nice if UBI Soft had given us the ability to use more than one controller? How barbaric that we would have to pass one Wiimote around the room to play this awful game... do they expect me to get up and walk to the TV to change the channel, too?
And what of the repetitiveness of the whole thing? It took me about 20 minutes (10 of which was spent waiting for the thing to load) to make it through 2 pricing games, the wheel, and the showcase. And then what? Expect to start over and see the same thing happen all over again.
Overall grade: D- *
* I would have given it an F, except that Rich Fields' voiceovers are so realistic and gripping that I had to give some credit to the designers.
 needs work November 26, 2008
I love the price is right and was very excited to see the game but there are flaws. First of all, I agree that the wheel spinning doesn't need much thought, but my biggest complaint is that at least with my game, the games always have the same products to bid on. I have only seen 4 different showcases and I've played probably about 10-12 times for the most part to just see if the game ever changed. So there is never a challenge to guess the prices. Maybe it's just my copy that is defective, but if not then much more thought should have gone into this game.
 The Price was Right! November 23, 2008
I purchased this game a few weeks back and I have had a lot of fun playing it. The best part is that if you lose a pricing game, they don't always show you what the prices were so you can play it over and over again without automatically knowing the prices. The only thing I don't like about it is that I wish I could skip over some of the item descriptions. It takes forever to get through and I think the game would move faster if you could choose to skip over the vocal monologues.
Fun but it starts to get old! November 14, 2008
I really could not wait to get the game but once I got it home and played it I was not at all impressed. The game is fun but I hate the fact you have to use 1 remote when you are playing with 2 people. I would buy this used or wait till it has gone down in price some.....
