 not what I expected - almost too real...real boring December 4, 2008
When I first put this game in I was really excited to play...and then I got started on contestant row and immediately had flashbacks of Family Feud for the old nintendo. Are the graphics as bad as Family Feud? Almost. Is it as fun to play as Family Feud? No. The main problem being (oddly enough) that the game is too much like the real game show. You start at contestants row (obviously), then you go onto a game, then you spin the wheel, and if you win then it's onto showcase showdown. And that's it...over...and over again. Then to annoy me more, you have to play all the games in the game before they are unlocked and you can just play Blinko or whatever instead of going through all the BS. And the other annoyance I have with this game (and the actual TV game show) is the pricing of the products. Where in the US do they base these prices? I apparently am getting screwed here in Wisconsin every time I go grocery shopping, but also making out like a bandit when I buy a TV. Anyway, I was just expecting more. I'm sure real big Price is Right fans would be ticked if this game weren't exactly like the show but if you are not a huge fan you will most likely find this game a little slow and redundant. I would have loved to have seen this game a little more amped up, with at least an option to veer from the norm and have things a little more fast paced and interesting.
 Enjoyable December 2, 2008
This game is enjoyable. The contestant graphics are lame. The family has fun playing it.

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.
